DEVOTION ~ A SONG OR NOISE

-
Theme: A Song or Noise? 
Text: Amos 5:23&24

23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments. 24 But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.



In yesterday's devotion, we learned that our assemblies should be devoid of ungodliness. We ought to flee lukewarm behaviors and present ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto the Lord. Today, we will look at how our songs reach the Throne of Mercy dubbed "a song or noise? 

Songs are melodious and soothing to the Lord when it comes from the heart of a true worshipper. It flows harmoniously and does not disturb the hearer. However, when injustice, and unrighteousness clouds the believer, his/her song with its instruments make noise (empty without any spiritual significance or touch of the Holy Spirit) before the Lord. Are you singing or making noise with your songs to God? Assess your life and change your ungodly ways.

Where godliness prevails, justice is as water that flows freely (runs down gently) no one impedes it. Likewise, righteousness like mighty stream that carries or wash away evil from the earth. Dear beloved in the Lord, let godliness take seed in you and bear the fruit of the Spirit.


Prayer: Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up O my God. Come and quench the thirst of my soul to do Your will in all that I do. Feed me with the bread of holiness that I may be holy, upright and just in every sphere of my life in the name of Jesus Christ. 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!
