DEVOTION ~ THE FULFILLED TIME

-
Theme: The Fulfilled Time
Text: Mark 1:14&15

14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”


To all things on earth, time is given; on some obituaries, it reads, "sunrise (the year of birth) to sunset (the year of death). It's just a signal to the living, your own sunset could come soon. How prepared are you? Jesus began His ministry calling out to people that the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. We will delve into this in our devotion today.

All prophecies about Jesus has started manifestation at the time He made this call. John the Baptist has prepared the way and was taken out of the picture, and now the focus is Jesus. The salvation of the Lord has come, we can only embrace it with repentance. You can't come to God not ready to surrender to Him through repentance and believing in the Messiah.

Dear beloved in the Lord, as indicated early on, we've all witnessed our sunrise but the sunset is what we cannot tell when it will come. Let us repent of any sin that still cling to our sleeves. We will all not be alive to witness the Day of the Lord as some will fall asleep before that time. That is every one will surely fulfill the appointed time given him/her here on this earth without fail. Will your time be well talked of or it will be shameful to even mention it. The Kingdom of God is at hand, do the right thing.



Prayer: Dear God, I humbly come to Your Throne of Mercy seeking for Your forgiveness. For You have said, You're faithful and just to forgive if I confess my sins. Forgive me for the sins of unforgiveness, carnal desires, evil intentions, sexual sins, addictions, (list any sin you're ready to confess to God). Blood of Jesus, wash and cleanse me from them all and empower me by the Holy Spirit to do what is right in Your presence. This I pray through Christ my Lord. 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!
