DEVOTION ~ DIVINE VISITATION

-
Theme: Divine Vistation 
Text: Luke 1:39-45

39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”


It's so pleasant to have loved ones pay surprise visit to us. It brings joy to us and we have time to share fond memories. Mary's visit to Elizabeth was because of what the angel told her. But this visit isn't just an ordinary one, it was divine. Her greetings to Elizabeth made the baby in her womb leaped and she became filled with the Holy Spirit. 

When we avail ourselves to be used by the Holy Spirit, every utterance of ours will stir up the Holy Spirit in the lives of many. We have the power of life and death in our mouths. Life is only with Jesus and so His presence in us will cause a shift in every circumstance we speak into. Don't weep over your troubles or challenges, just speak life into them. Where there's darkness, declare the presence of Light, in sorrows declare solace and in dead situations speak life for the power of the Live Giver resides in us.

When we have a closer relationship with the Lord, we will be blessed in whatever we do. The fruit of our labour will increase greatly and it shall be well with us. This is the portion of those who have put their trust in God for grace will abound for them. Whatever good thing we don't deserve will locate us by the mercies of His grace. If only we will believe and trust God, then all things assured us will be fulfilled by the power of God. Be a blessing today in the lives of others and divinely visit them with God's comforting Word. Shallom!


Prayer: In Your glory You visit the earth with mercies divine. Take glory for granting me Your grace. Help me to walk in the knowledge of Your truth and to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Touch my lips to speak of your glory and to declare deliverance, breakthroughs, and all divine blessings at all times. 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...

DEVOTION ~ JUDGING RIGHTEOUSLY

-
Theme: Judging Righteously Text: Genesis 38:26 26 So Judah acknowledged them and said, “She has been more righteous than I because I did not give her to Shelah my son.” And he never knew her again. Previous devotion taught us that Tamar sent the pledge Judah gave her to him to identify the owner. Upon receiving the items Judah acknowledged his wrong. Judah did not allow pride or ego to cloud his judgment but rather pointed to the role he played in leading Tamar to take such a drastic step to get pregnant. Dear beloved in the Lord, don't be quick to point people's wrong without considering yours. Let us learn from Judah to never push blame to others if we are guilty. Let us Pray: Almighty God, forgive me for employing the full rigour of the law on defaulters but failing to in my own case. Grant me sound judgment to act righteously. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

COMMAND YOUR WEEK

-
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!
