DEVOTION ~ THE WORD BECAME FLESH

-
Theme: The Word Became Flesh
Text: John 1:14

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.


The Word of God is Jesus Christ who has been in the beginning with the Father. In Him are all things were made either small or great (John 1:1-5). His true identity is seen in Revelations 19:13; He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. The spoken Word of God is truth, the way to the Father and the life everlasting. 

God loved us so much, He wants to deliver us from damnation such that, when the fullness of the time had come, He sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law to redeem us (Galatians 4:4). Jesus took the nature of man and walked upon the earth. The celebration of His birth should be done to glorify the Lord. We should extend hands to others in giving cheerfully as God gave Jesus to us. 

The glory of the Lord has be revealed for all flesh according to how the mouth of the Lord has spoken it concerning the birth, death, resurrection and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. This glory will been seen again on the Day of the Lord. Your soul must be ever ready to receive the Lord when He appears as a Righteous Judge. For without controversy, great is the mystery of His godliness amongst us who fill the earth: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory (1 Timothy 3:16). 

Merry Christmas to you and your family. May the essence of Christ's birth be evident in your lives and may His glory overshadow you to bring about your lifting on all sides. 



Prayer: The Living Word of God, thank You for all You've given to us. By Your Word, all things are put in order, I speak this Word over every sphere of our lives that needs to transformed. Let Your glory fill our lives even now and forevermore in Jesus name 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!
