DEVOTION ~ YOU'RE NOT AN ISLAND

Theme: You're Not an Island 
Text: Isaiah 47:10-11

10 “For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, ‘No one sees me’; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’ 11 Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know.


In yesterday's devotion, we learnt we must be mindful of our ways. Evil habits must be shun and the spirit of humility be embrased. Today, we are continuing with some things we trust that would not be of help to us as children of God. As a child of God, you're called into a bigger family that you must never abandon or reject in any way. 

Evil cannot be hidden from God although He hates it. Therefore, do not take delight in doing evil but rather flee from ungodly behaviors. God is watching and will uncover your evil deeds if you do not repent. Do not boast in doing evil but rather strive to make a good name in the Living God. If you're crushed by God, you cannot rise again, so seek to find favor with God.

If you live in wickedness, you will make more enemies than friends. Attacks shall come upon you from all angles as your evil deeds leave traces of where you can be found. You will not be able to put it off. If you are unable to control the enemies you're making, you'll even loose your firneds in the process. No man is an island, so do not create room to become one. May the Sceptre of righteousness lead you to a place of divine pasture.


Prayer: Father of life and the undiluted love of my life. Thank You for performing Your glory in my life. Take hold of my hands and shake eveil form of evil in me out that Your purity will have its fullness in me. This I ask I the Mighty name of Jesus. 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...

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!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
