DEVOTION ~ THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND SONG

-

Theme: The Lord is My Strength and Song 
Text: Isaiah 12:1-3

12 And in that day you will say: “O Lord, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. 2 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’ ” 3 Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.



We serve a merciful God whose love and mercy is renewed each day towards us. God forgives us of all our sins when we confess them to Him. His anger is replaced with compassion and He comforts us in His warm embrace. He is our strength and song in all things. 

If we put our trust in any other thing apart from God, we will be disappointed woefully. Money, fame, possessions, and things we take pride in can all be lost in a blink of an eye. However, trusting God will always lead us to an expected end. He is our salvation (the Redeemer of our souls from damnation). With Him, there's no need to fear, for He has control over all things. He empowers us to do great things in life. The strength for our weary souls and the lubricant that makes things smooth and easy for us. 

He gives us every reason to sing to His praise at all times. He is our song; the sole reason behind our successes in life. When the world thinks we are unqualified, He qualifies us and strategically position us to attain the victory. With joy, we will draw from the well of salvation. Irrespective of the circumstances in life, we will not give up on His salvation but will hold on faithfully. As the year draws to an end, dear beloved in the Lord, may the Lord remain our strength and song. 


Prayer: Abba, Father! You're all that matter to me in life. I'll put You in front of my melody and declare Your wonderful works to the world. Fill me O Holy Spirit with strength never to give up on God. Increase my faith that I'll stand firmly and be victorious over every challenge in life. This I pray in the Might name of Jesus 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!
