DEVOTION ~ AT YOUR WORD LORD

-
Theme: At Your Word Lord
Text: Luke 5:5&6

5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 



Simon did toil all night long and caught nothing and while washing his nets, he gave his boat out to the Lord. When asked to launch into the deep and let down the nets for a catch, he replied sincerely, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the net.” There are times we feel like throwing in the towel but at the Word of the Master, we must obey and keep up to the task. 

It was in the obedience he (Simon) had his breakthrough, not in the toil. We need to understand the distinction between labouring without grace (toil) and labouring with grace (divine intervention). If we heed the Word, grace will change our story. As it was in the case of Simon and his companions, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking, so will our breakthrough come forth visibly and tangibly to the glory of God's Name. 


PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for that at Your Word there is a turnaround to all situations even to those that seem dead and impossible. Strengthen me to always act on Your Word in faith. Thank You, Lord, in the Name of Jesus Christ for answered prayer and all-around breakthroughs and testimonies. 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!"
