DEVOTION ~ HEEDING TO JETHRO'S COUNSEL

-
Theme: Heeding to Jethro's Counsel 
Text: Exodus 18:24-27

24 So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. 25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 So they judged the people at all times; the hard cases they brought to Moses, but they judged every small case themselves. 27 Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went his way to his own land.



In yesterday's devotion, we looked at how Jethro gave counsel to Moses to relief himself and the people by appointing able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and putting them in charge of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. Today's devotion will enlighten us on how Moses heeded to Jethro's counsel.

Despite Moses having constant encounter with God, he did not receive a direct instruction from the Lord on how to relief himself from the daily stress he goes through. God used Jethro to speak to him. Moses listened to him and amazingly, things turn out perfectly well just as Jethro has said. Dear beloved in the Lord, God can use anyone to bring about your turn around story. You need to heed godly counsel at all times. The Jethro's God will bring your way will not stay with you forever, so do well to tap more from them before they leave you. The power of God rest upon you and give you insight of His revelations in your life and all that concerns you.


Prayer: Glory and honour be to Your name Yaweh for opening the eyes of my understanding. I pray in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, any evil manipulation that is at work in me preventing me from heeding to the Jethro's of my life, catch fire by the power of the Holy Spirit. I am losed and I receive grace to divinely see the Jethro's positioned in every sphere my life. 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!
