DEVOTION ~ GRACE

-
Theme: Grace 
Text: John 1:16&17

16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.


Praise be the name of the Lord for another day. In today's devotion, we will be looking at grace. Grace means an unmerited favour from God towards humanity through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. When Christ the Word became flesh, He dwelt in our midst and the fullness of His grace abounds with us. He is the fullness of all things created. Nothing created can live without Him. 

Moses received the law from God and instructed the Israelite with it. It has been difficult for anyone to fully fulfill the law. However, Christ came with grace overflowing and truth. The grace of God is not a tale or myth but it is purely based on the truth. It is true Christ died for all, and it's also true He resurrected on the third day and was seen by many. He ascended into heaven after forty days. Possessing the fullness of grace, anyone who believes in Him receives the abundance of grace to be forgiven and drawn closer to the Father. Grace speaks favour, restoration, healing, progress, victory and all divine blessings in our lives daily. Do not for once ever try to leave the hedge of grace. 


Prayer: May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (that pardons our sin and redeems us); the love of God (a love that still cares for us as His own and ever ready to satisfy us with good things); and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit (that bond of belongingness that calls us children of God) abide with us 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...

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!
