DEVOTION ~ ABIDE UNDER GOD'S SHADOW

Theme: Abide Under God's Shadow 
Text: Psalm 91:1&2

91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”



It's difficult for anyone to take shelter in an unfamiliar place. This is because he/she can't be sure what might happen to him/her while there. It is therefore important to chose wisely where you take shelter. The psalmist says, if you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, you shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. If you don't dwell in God, you can't abide under His shadow. The best way to dwell in God, is through His Word. 

Dwelling in God's Word provides a divine shelter for you. The Word is Christ and if you have fellowship with Him, you will constantly dwell in His presence through the study of His Word and doing what He has instructed you to do. As you delve deeper into the study of the Word of God, the Holy Spirit strengthens and equips you spiritually. You will find yourself under the influence of the Holy Spirit in every decision you make in life.

The Holy Spirit will never lead you astray rather, He will guide you to an expected end for you're under God's shadow. Abiding under His shadow gives encouragement to declare what your experiences are with Him. You will not miss His protection and deliverance in life. He will be your place of refuge and fortress from the chaos of the world. You're blessed if you put your trust in God. 



Prayer: Father in heaven, thank You for welcoming me into Your presence through Christ Jesus. Holy Spirit divine, increase my faith to be steadfast in the things of the Lord. Help me to take shelter continually in God no matter what may come my way in life. Be thou my Refuge and Fortress even now and forevermore in Jesus name have I prayed. 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!
