DEVOTION ~ O LORD, REVIVE YOUR WORK

-
Theme: O Lord, Revive Your Work 
Text: Habakkuk 3:1&2

3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth. 2 O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.


The Word of God is the standard of the Christian living nothing more or less to that regard. The response we give to the Word of God determines what kind of nature we possess. In the dispensation of the prophet Habakkuk, the fear of the Lord (wisdom) manifested in Him when he heard the Lord's voice. So his prayer was lifted for God to revive His works.

Many Christians have lost their spiritual nature due to living in the flesh (the carnal nature). When God's Word comes to enlighten us, we ought to seek revival just as the prophet Habakkuk did. Revival is the awakening or quickening of God's people to their true nature and purpose. Let's seek the revival of our spirit that we may not incur the wrath of God. As we seek God's revival, we need to ask He make known our sins to us that we may confess them all. It is written if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us. In the place of God's wrath, we will plead for mercy.


Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus Christ, let Your Word take seed in us. Help us to have Your Word inscribed unto our hearts and minds. For it is written, the true worshippers shall worship God in truth and in spirit. Grant us the revival of Your glory that we may serve You faithfully all the days of our lives. 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!
