DEVOTION ~ HOLY SPIRIT, DIRECT MY WAYS

-
Theme: Holy Spirit, Direct My Ways
Text: Psalm 119:5-8

5 Oh, that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes! 6 Then I would not be ashamed, when I look into all Your commandments. 7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgments. 8 I will keep Your statutes; Oh, do not forsake me utterly!


The Word of the Lord is a lamp to our feet
And a light to our path. Understanding the Word is not by carnal wisdom but rather the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a Helper and Teacher sent to help us live according to God's will and purpose for our lives. To keep God's statutes, we will need the guide of the Holy Spirit. This explains why the psalmist said, that his ways be directed to keep God's statutes.

When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we are not ashamed of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ for it is our saving grace. We will therefore approach the Throne of God with all reverence and uprightness of heart. Our praise shall continually be heard to God's glory for He has shown us His compassion and mercy. For our debts have been paid by Jesus through his death on the cross. God will never forsake us so we must also walk in His statutes.


Prayer: Guide me as I pilgrim through this earth O God. I pray the Holy Spirit to lead me in the way of Your glory and teach me to obey You in all things. This I ask in Jesus' name. AMEN!

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!"
