DEVOTION ~ SEEK SALVATION

-
Theme: Seek Salvation 
Text: Psalm 106:4&5

4 Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation, 5 That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your inheritance.


It's another awesome day the Lord has granted unto us, we need to give Him thanks. In today's devotion, we will be looking at seeking salvation in the Lord. We often go before the Lord with requests in prayer. This should not be a routine of just asking for things that will satisfy the flesh but we ought to seek spiritual things as well. Seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things shall be added unto it. 

The psalmist is pleading with the Lord to remember him with the favour God has towards His own. The favour God has towards us is the grace to be saved from damnation. For God loves us that He gave Jesus to die in our place that if we believe we will not perish but have everlasting life. There's a quest first for God's mercy then the desire to behold the blessings that comes with His mercy.

There are many blessings being a chosen of the Lord. However, keep in mind, many are called but few chosen. Yearn to be a part of the chosen so as to enjoy its benefit. You cannot enjoy the benefit if you're outside of the wall. Join godly Christian fellowships near you and glorify the Lord for the inheritance you're partaking in.


Prayer: Nearer to Thee my God is what my soul desire. Have mercy and turn towards me. Cleanse me with the saving Blood of Jesus. Fill me with the Holy Spirit to lead a spirit filled life and help me to rejoice always in You. 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...

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!
