DEVOTION ~ WITNESSING

-
Theme: Witnessing 
Text: John 4:39-42

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His own word. 42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”



In our previous study, we discussed how the Samaritan woman went to call the men of the city to come see if the man who told her all she has ever done is the Messiah. The outcome of that calling is what we will be studying today. She witness the power of God and testified of it to many. The catalyst to spreading the Gospel is having a personal experience of it. You can easily recall vividly your own testimony than that of others.

The people believed the woman's testimony before they encountered the Christ. Has the Lord done something great for you that you're withholding from others? Do you think it's unnecessary to bother others with your little testimony? That's the voice of deceit trying to hinder you from witnessing to others. If the Samaritan woman had concluded, what Christ told her isn't any news in her life, she wouldn't have drawn many souls to God.

The more you listen to or study the Word of God, the better your knowledge and understanding of the Lord, and the power of His glory. As the crowd paid attention to Christ, their faith increased and they attest to the fact that Jesus is the Christ. They who have been given a testimony, have now witnessed it and are publicly sharing their experiences. Take time out of your schedule today to tell someone about your experience in the Lord. 



Prayer: Dear God, there's no end to understanding who You are. For each moment is a miracle with You. You have kept to Your Word and done great things for me and all that is mine. Touch my lips to open and testify of Your glory in all that I do that I may draw souls to Your Kingdom. This is my prayer in Christ 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!
