DEVOTION ~ MAN OF GOD

-
Theme: Man of God 
Text: 2 Kings 4:40&41

 40 Then they served it to the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. 41 So he said, “Then bring some flour.” And he put it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.



As Christians, we all have been called into the ministry of Jesus Christ. This makes us men/women of God. If we diligently seek the Lord and do what pleases Him, He rewards us greatly. The prophet Elisha trusted the faithfulness of God in all that he does. In our previous devotions we saw how he gave the command for stew to be made in a large pot even though there has been famine on the land. The stew that was served the sons of the prophet was so bitter they exclaimed there's death in the pot.

Food is meant to provide energy not death. There are days things we believe could change or turn around our situation rather messes it up completely. As a man of God, you have the grace to speak into that unpleasant outcome. The prophet Elisha asked flour be poured in the pot and the food dished out to the people. Our flour is the Holy Spirit who is able to work the miracle for us. Keep stirring up the Spirit in all that you do and the best will come out of it. Just as there was nothing harmful in the pot, so can evil not prevail where the Spirit of God dwells. Be a man of God in every sphere of your life.



Prayer: Dear God, thank You for the power of Your reward to anyone who diligently seek You. Help me to trust You even when the worse comes my way. I pray my tongue shall bring great satisfaction in 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...

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!"
