DEVOTION ~ IN GOD'S PRESENCE

-
Theme: In God's Presence 
Text: Psalm 26:6-8

6 I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Your wondrous works. 8 Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells.



When the saving grace of God delivers us from sin, we need to present ourselves before God in the garment of holiness He has adorn us with. Our hands can only be washed in the innocent and speaking blood of Jesus Christ. His blood gives us right standing with God as it has atone for our guilt. 

If we can freely come before God by His grace, then, we ought to be thankful. Our thanksgiving must manifest in the form testimonies that declares God's wonderful works in our lives. The more we testify of God's goodness in our lives, the more we draw perishing souls to His saving grace. The psalmist said in another psalm, he was glad when they said unto him, let us go into the House of God (Psalm 122:1). Praise be to God, His House is within us and His Holy Spirit dwells in us ( 1 Corinthians 3:16).

God's glory is in us and so we need to love one another and desire good for all. If we love God's habitation, then we need to keep it clean. Therefore, whatever defiles us, needs to be done away with so we can avail ourselves for the Holy Spirit to use us to reveal the glory of God. Goodness and mercies shall continually follow us as we are already dwelling in the House of the Lord (Christ in us is the hope of glory).



Prayer: Thank You God for the mercies to come into Your presence each day. I'm grateful to have Your righteousness which allows me to approach Your presence in boldness. Teach me to serve in Your presence faithfully and to declare Your works to all in Jesus' name have I prayed. 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!"
