DEVOTION ~ THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE

-
Theme:The Apple of God's Eye
Text: Psalm 17:6-10

6 I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech. 7 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You from those who rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings, 9 From the wicked who oppress me, from my deadly enemies who surround me. 10 They have closed up their fat hearts; With their mouths they speak proudly.


God have listening ears and an outstretched hand to save anyone who calls to Him. The psalmist knows this well that is why, he said he will call on God for he knows, He incline His ears to his speech. We are the apple of God's eyes for He loves us unconditionally. Anyone who does the will of God, becomes the apple of His eyes. He will watch over such a soul and deliver him from any form of harm. 

Therefore, anyone who put his trust in God will not be put to shame. God has always shown His marvelous lovingkindnesss in our lives to bring about deliverance, healing, uplifting, breakthroughs and all heavenly divine blessings. Every battle of the believer must be handed to God in prayer for victory to be attained. Though the adversary will wage war against us pompously, yet he will prevail either physically or spiritually. 

Our warfare is not carnal but to the pulling down of strongholds, principalities and evil forces (Ephesians 6:12). Dear beloved in the Lord, it is only in the shadow of God's wings safety is assured without fail. To overcome the schemes of the wicked, there's the need to trust God. Trusting God must come with giving reverence to God and keeping to His commands. To experience grace divine in life, become the apple of God's eyes in obedience and your life will never be the same. 


Prayer: Thank You my God and King for making me the apple of Your eyes. Holy Spirit divine, direct my path to please the Lord than do any detestable thing in God's presence. May the Lord protect and deliver my household and all that's mine from the wicked. 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!
