DEVOTION ~ THE OMNIPRESENT GOD

-
Theme: The Omnipresent God 
Text:Psalm 139:7-12

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.


God has everything under His control from the time of creation to now. Nothing can be hidden from Him. The psalmist asked, "Where can I go from Your Spirit?" No one can flee from the presence of the Lord for He is every where at the same time. What a great God we serve. May His name be glorified.

The Lord's throne is in heaven and so His presence is there. Christ's death revealed the dead were seen by many people indicating how His presence in the grave pave way for the dead (Matthew 27:52&53) . Jonah when task to send God's Word to Nineveh, decided to flee from God's presence but little did he know even in the belly of that great fish, God still sees him (Jonah 1-2). This gives understanding why the psalmist said, if I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. 

Darkness does not scare God for it was out of it He called forth light (Genesis 1:1-3). Dear beloved in the Lord, the  power of God can deliver you from every form of darkness. The darkness around you can be sickness, reproach, disappointment amongst others. In all these, God's presence will give you the victory. The darkness and the light are both alike to God for that matter, He does His work with ease. You cannot hide from God's presence, so do well to present yourself holy and acceptable in His sight.


Prayer: There's no place I can flee to that Your presence cannot reach me. Thank you Lord for fixing Your eyes upon me. I pray the Holy Spirit helps me to do Your will wherever I will be 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!
