DEVOTION ~ PRAISE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD

-
Theme: Praise the Salvation of the Lord 
Text: Psalm 98:1-3

98 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
For He has done marvelous things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. 2 The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations. 3 He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.



God deserves praise from us His children. Great and marvelous are His doings in our lives daily. They are so numerous we can't count them to the end. Of all His doings, we need to daily praise Him for His free gift of salvation. The salvation of our souls give us victory in all things. 

The psalmist says, God's right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. The righteousness of God is revealed in Christ Jesus and anyone who believes in Him receives it. This righteousness makes us holy in God's presence since we now have the nature of Christ in us. We have therefore conquered the bondage and wages of sin through Christ Jesus. We wouldn't have done this by ourselves, we would have failed woefully over and over again.

The message of redemption is not hidden but made known through the Gospel. God's mercies towards us each day is renewed. Likewise His faithfulness unto us and even to those still in bondage of sin. God's salvation is unconditional (it is a free gift from Him) just like His love. We must appreciate this and give Him praise at all times. Cease every passing seconds to thank God for His salvation for it is His free gift to us all made in His image and likeness.


Prayer: Hallelujah! Let all that's within me praise the name of God. For all the marvelous things You have done, doing, and will be doing in the future, I lift up praise to Your Holy name. Thank You for saving my soul from damnation. Help me to stay faithful in this saving grace given unto me for free. May I treasure the salvation of my soul above all things even now that I know it is free. 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!
