DEVOTION ~ GOD COMMANDS OUR VICTORIES

Theme: God Commands Our Victories 
Text: Psalm 44:4-8

4 You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob. 5 Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. 6 For I will not trust in my bow, nor shall my sword save me. 7 But You have saved us from our enemies, and have put to shame those who hated us. 8 In God we boast all day long, and praise Your name forever. Selah



Oh mine! Today marks the last day in 2020. How has your year been like? I guess there were ups and downs; You had to face little and great battles in life. But through all the struggles, there has been a friend like no other by your side. This friend is God. If not for God's mercies, you would have been consumed by the wickedness of evil people.

What the wicked intend to do against you turn out to be for your good through the power of God. If the Lord is with you, then your enemies cannot harm you. For God will command your victories. Possessions and fame cannot rescue you. Those that put their trust in them are hospitalized or even dead; their wealth could not save them. You have no excuse in giving God praise and thanksgiving. 

The enterprise of the wicked against you has been frustrated by the Holy Spirit. Evil arrows, charms, and other evil destructive weapons targeted at you could not hold because, God sent forth His angels to deliver you. Dear beloved in the Lord, your hallelujah is in the name of the Lord and no other thing. Let your lips be opened to give praise to God. Honor the name of the Lord for all the benefits He has bestowed on. 



Prayer: Gracious Father, thank You for the protection and preservation of my life and everyone connected to me. You are our Shield from every evil dart. May Your name be praised. Thank You for for the victories You have commanded in our lives in the past, currently and in the future. I pray victory shall locate every sphere of our lives as the year ends and usher us into the new year to be victorious in all we do. This and many more we ask for 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!
