DEVOTION ~ GOD WILL SET YOU ON HIGH

-
Theme: God Will Set You on High
Text: Psalm 91:14-16

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.”



Serving God faithfully and trusting Him in all circumstances brings about open doors. To love the Lord is to obey His commands, doing what He expects of you as you go about your duties. He will deliver you when evil wants to consume you just like how the lions could not harm Daniel in the lions den but his adversaries were crushed even before they could reach the floor of the den (Daniel 6). 

When God's deliverance comes, it births your elevation. God has the power to bring the proud low and to exalt the humble on high. If you walk in His will, He will set you on high. How are you going about the duties you've been assigned? If you carry it out diligently, you'll never miss the rewards that comes with it. Likewise if you fail to do it well, you can never escape the punishment. Be a humble and faithful servant of the Lord. 

Let your ways please the Lord and He will be nearer to you at all times. He will rescue you from the wicked and honour you in their very presence. Haman sort to destroy Mordecai but because Mordecai's ways pleases the Lord, his enemy was used to publicly announce his elevation (Esther 3-8:17). May every Haman in your life be put to shame. The Giver of life will sustain you and crown you with salvation. Draw near to God and abide in His dwelling place. 



Prayer: Dear God, thank You for assisting me as I press on in doing Your will. Come Holy Spirit divine and help me to crush every barrier in my life, family, ministry, career, business, and all spheres of my life. I decree I shall be the head not the tail and I will see and enjoy the goodness of the land as the Lord will cause everything to favour me even now and forevermore in Jesus' name. 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!
