DEVOTION ~ THE GREAT DOINGS OF GOD

-
Theme: The Great Doings of God 
Text: Psalm 126:1-3

126 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.


The most sorrowful moment is being in bondage or captivity. All your will and desires are denied as you're forced to please your taskmaster. Israel experienced the life of liberty and captivity. The return from captivity was like a dream to them because, they can't believe the moments of pain and torture have come to an end. This is how it feels like when you surrender everything to God and watch Him transform your life to the better. 

There's an inner peace and joy unspeakable when God takes charge of your life. Your lips will continually sing as a sign of testimony of what the Lord has done. The praise from within is phenomenal and natural, such that, it draws the attention of others. Those who have seen your nothingness will compare your lifting and give praise to God saying, He has done great things in your life.

Dear beloved in the Lord, draw near to the Lord and experience His Supernatural provisions and deliverance in your life. It's impossible to express with words what the Lord has done, can do and will do in your life if you unite with Him in holiness. May Joy unspeakable be your portion even as we commence another week. May your week be fruitful and bondage free in Jesus name. AMEN!


Prayer: The Deliverer of the souls in bondage, take glory honour and adoration. You have loved and cared for my family, friends, nation, church and me with divine mercies. Father, give us each day testimonies that outweigh our expectations and may uncommon favor be our portion even as we draw nearer to You. This I pray in the Mighty name of Jesus the Christ. 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!
