DEVOTION ~ THE LAW'S RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENT

-
Theme: The Law's Righteous Requirement 
Text: Romans 8:3&4

3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 



Before the dispensation of Jesus Christ, our fathers' of old could not meet the requirement of the law. The flesh could not stand strong to fulfill the requirement because, the carnal man cannot resist the edge to go contrary to the law. The law could not help to shape the human race into becoming righteous after the Adamic sin.

God in His mercies and love, sent His Only Begotten Son to die that we may have life to attain the righteous requirement. Jesus condemned sin in the flesh as he abided in the law without committing any sin when he came down to the earth. He led a righteous life so as to guide us to imitate Him. To attain the righteous requirement of the law, we ought to bear fruit of the Spirit and be led by the Holy Spirit.

 When we walk according to the Spirit, the righteousness of Christ manifests in us so we cannot be condemned. Any tongue that rises against us in judgment, shall be condemned. However, if we walk in the flesh, then we cannot be able to attain the righteous requirement of the law. This brings about condemnation. Dear beloved in the Lord, let us be filled with the Spirit of God that we may be able to meet the law's righteous requirement.


Prayer: Come oh Holy Spirit of God and let Your presence dominate my life. Transform me to Your likeness that I may bear the fruit of the Spirit. Help me to walk in the Spirit at all times and in every area of my life in the name of Jesus Christ 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!
