DEVOTION ~ THE LORD SUSTAINS

-
Theme:The Lord Sustains
Text: Psalm 55:22

22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.



The world presents us with diverse burdens; Marital, academic, financial, family, career, amongst others. Keeping an eye on the burden often brings health challenges our ways. We could even die in the process. In that regard, the Lord is ready to relieve us of our burdens if we call on Him.

We've been called to cast our burden on the Lord. Irrespective of your burden, Christ says come to Him. He will sustain us to overcome it. We need not fear casting all our care upon Him, for He cares for us. When faith is activated in us, we behold the glory of God not the burden. For He will not permit the righteous to be moved; in place of worry, we shall worship, in sorrowful moments, we shall serve faithfully, and our tears shall be replaced with laughter. The Holy Spirit will empower us to stand firmly so as not to throw in the towel. May the Lord stretch His Hand over us in all things. (1 Peter 5:7 )



Prayer: Father we lay our burdens before You. Grant unto us a divine way of escape in challenges that want to consume us and sustain us by the power of the Holy Spirit to be victors in all areas of our lives. This we ask in Jesus' name. 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...

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!
