DEVOTION ~ THE UNDEFILED

-
Theme: The Undefiled 
Text: Psalm 119:1-4

119 Blessed are the undefiled in the way,
Who walk in the law of the Lord!
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! 3 They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways. 4 You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.



The Lord God is pure and holy. He has called us to come into this purified life through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If we are in Christ, then we need to walk in His way. He has said He is the way the truth and the life and without Him, no one can go to the Father. The psalmist proclaims, blessed are the undefiled in the way. The undefiled in the way, are those who have kept their garment of purity intact having been washed by the Blood of Jesus. 

Being new creations in Christ Jesus, we need to keep the garment pure and undefiled by walking according to the will of God. Irrespective of the circumstances surrounding us, we must keep in mind what the Lord has done and can do in our lives. The testimony of the power of God encourages us to seek Him wholeheartedly. It helps us to also flee from sin and its enticement. 

If we walk in the way of the Lord, we as well detest iniquities by being true to keeping His command. The Lord has commanded us His children to keep His precepts diligently. Christ said to the Apostle Peter if you love me, keep my commandments. Which implies the love we have for the Father, will make us not go contrary to His will and also, our love towards the brethren will hinder us from doing evil to them. As we have declared to be the Lord's vessels, may we keep our sanctity and be undefiled in any way.



Prayer: Most Pure and Holy God, unto You alone be praise and honour for making me anew in Christ Jesus. As You've adorned me in purity, help me by the strength of the Holy Spirit to never defile my garment. Equip me to be spiritually and physically alert of the deceitful schemes of the devil and his agents. Make me decern Your glory in all things in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ have I asked. 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!
