DEVOTION ~ AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS

-
Theme: Awake to Righteousness 
Text: 1 Corinthians 15:33-34

33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.



Association plays a key role in modeling character. If you enjoy the company of the wicked and ungodly, you will learn from them and become like them. The reverse is true if you're in the company with the righteous. Your good habits will be corrupt with evil if you continue to walk with evil people and so learn to flee from such people.

There are people out there who have no regards for God. They live their lives as though there's no Day of reckoning. Such people have no knowledge of the Lord. Disassociate from them  so they don't mislead you. The only way to come out from them is in Christ Jesus. He is our righteousness. Establish a relationship with the Lord and it will help you to flee from sin. 

The study of the Bible guides you in every sphere of your life no wonder the psalmist said, "Your word is a lamp  to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 117:105)". Awake to righteousness by drawing near to the Lord in obedience. Study and meditate on God's Word so as to live in righteousness. 



Prayer: Dear God, I thank You for the knowledge of the Word to awake to righteousness. Forgive me for neglecting the assembly of the righteous for evil company. May the Holy Spirit renew my heart and mind in the things of the Lord. Help me to walk in righteousness. This I ask in Jesus' name. AMEN!

CHARACTER STUDY ~ APOLLOS

-
Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
