DEVOTION ~ TEACH RIGHTLY

-
Theme: Teach Rightly 
Text: Psalm 25:8

8 Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.



Glory be to God for granting us life to be amongst the living. Our devotion for today is on teaching rightly. As dear beloved children of God, we need to learn from Him and be like Him at all times. God is good and upright so we also ought to strive to be good and upright in whatever we do. The more we study the Word of God, the better our lives become. For the Word shapes us in the way we should go.

There are still some in the world in our family, neighborhoods, workplace, the congregation amongst others that usually go wayward. God isn't pleased with the death of sinners, so we also shouldn't be pleased with such deaths. What then can we do to toe the line with God? We need to reach out to these individuals and teach them in the Lord. To teach rightly, you need to know the Word and daily apply its principles. Don't just watch people waste away in sin, give them a helping hand to come out of the situation.



Prayer: Divine upright Teacher, teach us to do the right thing and help us to teach others to do same too. Grant us the grace to be worthy of Your glory even now and forevermore in Jesus' name. 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!
