DEVOTION ~ INHERIT SALVATION

-
Theme: Inherit Salvation 
Text: Hebrews 1:13&14

13 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?


In the past few days, we've been looking at Jesus Christ and His relevance in the life of the Christian believer. We've seen the blessings, power and authority God has given unto Jesus over all things.We were also able to distinguish Him from the angels. In today's devotion, the opening verse asked a question;  But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? God hasn't in any point in time asked angels to sit but assigns them to keep watch over His Word. The angels are continually deployed to accomplish a given task. It is of Jesus Christ He has made that statement after ascending to heaven having conquered sin and death.

This implies, anyone who associates with Jesus can crush the enemy underfoot. The privilege we enjoy as children, the angels do not have same. The angels are sent forth to minister and to worship the Lord. Angelic assistance is given unto us to overturn the schemes of the wicked. By virtue of our inheritance in Christ Jesus (attaining salvation) we qualify to receive ministering spirits of the Living God to quench or silence the voice of deceit that operates in the sons of disobedience. Inheriting salvation brings victory in every sphere of our lives. 


Prayer: Loving Father, to You alone our hallelujah is lifted up to. We have tasted of Your goodness and have enjoyed daily benefits from You. In the name of Jesus Christ, we crush sin and the wickedness of the wicked in our lives and invite divine ministering angels to minister to us in all that we do and in every sphere of our lives even now and forevermore. 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!
