DEVOTION ~ YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR NATURE

Theme: Your Thoughts, Your Nature
Text: Titus 1:14-16

14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. 15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.



In yesterday's devotion, we looked at the testimony about the Cretans as well as people's opinion concerning us. We are continuing today to look at what Apostle Paul has to say concerning the Cretan society. He admonished Titus to not give in to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. Some people hold misconceptions that they teach others as though it's true. The standard of the believer should be the Bible and what it teaches.

A constant study of the Bible leads to divine koinonia with the Holy Spirit. He makes us more aware of God's grace and mercies and how wonderful it is to live righteously. However, when the passion of this age clouds the imagination and mind, of the spiritually weak, they see things as the people of the world. These evil thoughts speak deceitfully to them that, they cannot live a purified life. This makes them openly declare it to lead others astray from the truth.

Keep company with the spiritually matured and you will follow the directives of the Holy Bible. Bear in mind, what you constantly think of manifest as your nature. Your thoughts controls your nature so meditate on the Word of God daily to shape your lifestyle. 



Prayer: Dear God, help me to worship you in truth and in spirit. Spirit of the Living God, take absolute control over me and help me to do the Lord's will all the days of my life. In Jesus' name have I asked. 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...

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!
