DEVOTION ~ BELIEVE

-
Theme: Believe
Text: John 4:52-54

52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household. 54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.


Today's devotion is a build up of yesterday's devotion on the theme, your son lives. The nobleman was met by his servant who told him, his son lives, the very words of Jesus Christ. The nobleman quickly inquired the hour it had happened so as to compare with the hour Jesus told him his son lives. 

 Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Having confirm the hour, he believed and then led his household to as well believe. Dear beloved in the Lord, your faith can't be driven if the Word of God is not rich in you. The absence of the Word of God only cripples your spiritual life. You need the Word to believe in God. By the knowledge of the Word, you're able to understand the power of God and how it works in them that believe. 

The unbelieving heart does not experience much miracle like the believing heart. The first miracle was performed in Galilee but much miracles could not be counted in it. The miracle of the nobleman's son is the second miracle there. What a shame! Other surrounding cities have experienced marvelous miracles that are innumerable but Galilee recorded only two. Simply because, they do not believe. Doubt blocks, hinders and/or restraint your breakthroughs. The catalyst to your breakthroughs is a believing heart. Study the Bible, listen to Spirit filled sermons and exhortations to stir up your spirit for the Lord. 


Prayer: Dear God, give me the hearts of the faithful to trust in You in all circumstances. Use me as a testimony for many to believe in You O God. I declare aloud, I believe in the saving grace of God and I cannot be restrain by any evil power or agent even now and forevermore in Jesus' name have I 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!
