DEVOTION ~ THE SPIRIT OF LIBERTY

-
Theme: The Spirit of Liberty 
Text: 2 Corinthians 3:15-18

15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.



In yesterday's devotion, we looked at how the veil hindered the Israelites direct access to the glory of God. The veil clouded their sense of reasoning, imagination and the boldness of speech though they were  addressed as God's own nation. In this dispensation, anyone who does not abide in Christ still have the veil at work in him/her such that, the individual lacks understanding of the Word of God; his/her heart does not believe or embrace the truth.

Dear beloved in the Lord, do you see yourself in the description given above? There's a way out for you, for when you turn to the Lord, the veil will be taken away. When the veil is lifted, the Holy Spirit comes in to open the eyes of your understanding into the truth. He comes in to give you liberty. You will no longer be tangled in the deceitful powers of darkness but attain liberty to walk freely in the Light. The boldness of God takes absolute control over your life and transforms you into His image (the original purpose for man). This attained image of God, reflects His glory in you at all times taking you from glory unto glory in every area of your life.


Prayer: Abba! Father, in You is the fullness of liberty and You give it to anyone who comes to You. I surrender this day in Your presence and ask You take my life and let it be consecrated to You. Come Holy Spirit, take me to the place of liberty and let Your glory reign in my life and that of my spouse, children, family, ministry, career, finances, projects, education, and all that concerns me. 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!
