DEVOTION ~ I AM NOT ALONE

-
Theme: I Am Not Alone 
Text: John 16:31-33

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”



This chapter ends with the above verses on what might seem being alone or rejected. Jesus foresaw how His arrest, trials and crucifixion would scatter the disciples (each will flee for his life) but for just that moment. During that moment, it looked as though Jesus was rejected or abandoned by His companions but in the spiritual the Father was with Him. God is always with us irrespective of where we find ourselves because He is Omnipresent. There's no better companion than our God. 

Dear beloved in the Lord, it may seem in your present circumstance that you are alone but no, God's with you through the pain. Just as He was with Christ so is He with us. We need to daily confess His presence that His glory will prevail. As Christ has said, "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world". The Saviour has overcome the world and its woes for our sake, let us not be discouraged but be motivated to trust God for better days ahead. Say it aloud "I AM NOT ALONE!" 


Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus Christ, thank You for Your presence at all times. I decree I am not alone for I have my Saviour with me. Therefore what seems impossible is receiving possibility grace and the lines are falling in pleasant places for me on all sides. I have victory and I'm a victor because Christ has overcome the world and its woes. Glory be to God. 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!
