DEVOTION ~ WHERE'S CHRIST GOING?

-
Theme: Where's Christ Going? 
Text: John 7:35&36

35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”



In yesterday's devotion, we looked at the theme, "Seek Christ" where we have been encouraged to draw nearer to the Lord. In today's devotion, we will be looking at where Christ said He was going. Christ's destination is not this earth but to return back to the Father and be united with Him in heaven. It is for this reason He said, "You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come".

The Jews thought He was departing to be with the Greeks but that is not what He was saying even though the message of salvation has been preached amongst the Greeks. Dear beloved in the Lord, you need not ask this question for in this dispensation, we know where Christ is. It is for you to strive to be where the Saviour of the world is. Salvation is a free gift of God to anyone who believes in Christ. If you're living in doubts and unbelieve, then it's time to have a change of mind and surrender to God completely. You can only be where Christ is if you believe.



Prayer: Dear Saviour Jesus, Your Word to us is, You're going to the Father to prepare a place for us. Guide us that we may be worthy to be with You and the Father when You return. This we ask in Your very 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!
