DEVOTION ~ DIVINE FOOD

-
Theme: Divine Food
Text: John 4:31-33

31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” 33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”



In today's devotion, we will be looking at the theme, "Divine Food". Let's quickly recall Jesus' early hours after the forty days and night fasting; the devil came tempting Him to change stones into loafs of bread. But Jesus responded man must not live by bread alone but by every Word of God. The Word of God is a divine food to anyone who reads and meditate on it. This food nourishes you to have a better perspective of life's demands. You are more able to control your fleshly desire or appetite. 

When the disciples brought the food, they expected the Lord to eat but He wasn't concerned about food. They urge Him to eat however, He replied them saying; “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”  The kind of food Jesus is talking about is not the ordinary food rather, the food of the spirit. Have you ever been overjoyed such that you only realized you've not eaten the whole day late in the evening? That's how you will feel satisfied if you do God's will. Your nothing or little will meet all your needs if you rely on God in all things. People will marvel how you made it despite your challenges in life. Draw near to the Word of God daily to taste of its delicacies. 


Prayer: Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, open the eyes of my understanding to Your Word that I may daily eat of it. I receive nourishment from the Word to grow in stature, mind and in the spirit 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!
