DEVOTION ~ OBEDIENT IN FAITH

Theme: Obedient in Faith
Text: Hebrews 11:8-10

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.



On the 13th February 2020, we discussed Abraham's faith captioned "Faith does the unthinkable." We would be building on that in today's devotion. To please God, you need faith. Abraham heard from God to move out of his zone of comfort to the unknown zone. It took him obedience and faith in God to step out. If our faith lacks obedience, it will be difficult to employ it.

Being obedient in faith guides our path not to go contrary to God's directives. Abraham and his seeds did not dispossessed the occupants of their land of promise until the opportune time came (Genesis 26:1-6;12-33). For he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Dear beloved in the Lord, Christ Jesus is our foundation, we must not lay a block in any area of our lives without His approval. By this, our lives will be transformed and our generations will enjoy every benefit of God's divine blessings that comes with keeping faith in obedience.


Prayer: Father, give me the heart and mind to be obedient to Your will for my life. Strengthen my faith Spirit of the Living God to never be discouraged as I heed the instructions of the Lord even now and forevermore in Jesus' name have I asked. AMEN!

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!
