DEVOTION ~ FAITH OF THE PATRIARCH - ISAAC & JACOB

-
Theme: Faith of the Patriarch - Isaac & Jacob 
Text:Hebrews 11:20&21

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.


A faith filled life ends with divine revelations and push us to speak prophetically into our lineage. The faith of Isaac and Jacob from the lineage of Abraham led them to divinely bless their children into the future. Every word of Isaac concerning his sons manifested and none failed. This is because, the power of faith gave him the revelations into the things to come. 

He blessed the fields of his son Jacob and pronounced divine favour before men and approval of God over his life. Unto Esau, he encouraged will be loosed from the yoke of his brother and by the power of the Holy Spirit, the yokes have been destroyed in Christ Jesus. Whatever yoke suppressing you has no power over you again if you have Jesus in your life. Faith breaks away the yoke of spiritual suppression. (Genesis 27:26-40; Isaiah 53:4&5; Matthew 11:28-30).

By faith divine identity is sealed and none can frustrate it. The sons of Joseph were not born in the house of Jacob; they are not identified under the blessings of Jacob but are seen as those born amongst the gentiles. However, with faith, Jacob pronounced them his own, because he knows faith can graft them in. So he blessed them saying; The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; Let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth (Genesis 48:16).”
With faith, we have become cohier with Jesus Christ. Speak prophetically over every area of your life and by the power of God, you shall be established. (Genesis 48; Romans 11:16&17; 8:14-17).


Prayer: Dear God, we are grateful for the power of faith in You. Thank you that faith adobts us into Your divine family. Encourage us O Holy Spirit of God to walk and talk (speak/decree) in faith. We decree by faith all things are turning for our good in Christ Jesus have we 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...

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!
