DEVOTION ~ THE LOVINGKINDNESS OF GOD

-
Theme: The Lovingkindness of God 
Text: Isaiah 63:7-9

7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies, according to the multitude of His lovingkindness. 8 For He said, “Surely they are My people, children who will not lie.” So He became their Savior. 9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them all the days of old.


God's lovingkindness towards us is so vast we cannot measure or explain. If we consider what He does in our individual lives and that of our family, we will realize that, God has been very kind and loving. As the song writer, Guy Penrod said, "Count your blessings and name them one by one. It will surprise you what the Lord has done."

God considers us as His people through Christ Jesus. For that reason, as Christ has resurrected so will we on the Day of the Lord. We have become victorious over death. Our Saviour has paid for our redemption with His Blood on the Cross. In our afflictions, God will come through for us with His saving grace. He will continually deliver us so long as we remain in His presence. Let us therefore not abandon the presence of God for worthless things. 



Prayer: In Your presence O God is the fullness of joy. You're kind, loving, caring and faithful in all things even though we have been unfaithful. Forgive us for our unfaithfulness and guide us by the power of the Holy Spirit to walk faithfully with you in all areas of our lives even now and forevermore in Jesus' name 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!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
