DEVOTION ~ CHARIOTS OF SALVATION

-
Theme: Chariots of Salvation 
Text: Habakkuk 3:8&9

8 O Lord, were You displeased with the rivers, was Your anger against the rivers, was Your wrath against the sea, that You rode on Your horses, Your chariots of salvation? 9 Your bow was made quite ready; Oaths were sworn over Your arrows. You divided the earth with rivers.


The anger of the Lord is accompanied with mercy towards those who acknowledge their sins and repent. His mercy has kept the Judgement Day hidden to ensure all souls attain salvation; if the day was fixed, it would have happened long time ago but God's being compassionate on those still in darkness. Is the Lord pleased with your life? Will you incur the wrath of God if He should come?

You can best answer these questions if you have a good relationship with Christ. In Christ, we become vessels used to advance the Gospel (the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ). The Lord rides on us to bring salvation to others (our lips are equipped to spread the Gospel). God has prepared us to bring light where there's darkness.

 Let us not waste any moment to tell others about Christ, for this is why we exist. The bow (Word of God) has been inscribed in our hearts as arrows to go forth and divide the earth: For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).


Prayer: Dear God, have mercy upon us and redirect our hearts to You. We pray the Holy Spirit to lead us in Your path in all that we do. In the name of Jesus Christ, we decree we are equipped for every good work. 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...

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!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
