DEVOTION ~ HOW STRENGTHENED ARE YOU?

-
Theme: How Strengthened are You? 
Text: Acts 9:19

19 So when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.


There are moments in our lives when we lose our appetite usually characterised by ill-health, on hearing bad news or even sometimes when we are overjoyed. When Saul encountered the Lord, he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank. In yesterday's devotion, we saw how the Lord restored his sight through the laying on of the hands by Ananias, and later receiving the Holy Spirit after baptism. He gained his will to eat after all these.

Dear beloved in the Lord, we ought to be strengthened both physically and spiritually to carry on with our tasks. Strength comes from within but is given to us through the power of God that dwells in us. If we solely depend on our physical being we cannot be strengthened. Just as we take in food to keep the body healthy so must we nourish the soul and spirit with the study of the Word, prayer and fasting. Invite the Holy Spirit to strengthen you.


PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the grace of Your divine supply to keep me strengthened at all times. I give myself away please use me as You desire and help me to keep good company to Your glory. This I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

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!"
