DEVOTION ~ CHRIST IS KING

-
Theme: Christ is King!
Text: John 1:49

49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”


Encounters are great and it does transform lives making them well-defined. He who doubted something good can come out of Nazareth has seen the Christ and had no choice but to declare Him the Son of God. The Kingly glory of Christ, first makes us know our true identity and then grants us the boldness to approach Him in truth. In boldness and truth, Nathaniel called Him Rabbi, the Son of God and the King of Isreal.

 The Messiah is;
√ A teacher who led many to the True Light of God. He called twelve core disciples and others who went out to proclaim God's gracious gift to mankind. 
√ The Christ is the Son of God. He is not of carnal descent but of the Spiritual being divinely conceived by the Blessed Virgin Mary. He is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of men and well echoed in John 3:16-18.
√ He is the King of kings. The Messiah will return as a King to judge the world. His Kingdom is an everlasting one. 
In whatever way you coin this phrase, it communicates loudly who Jesus is in our lives; KNOW Jesus, KNOW Life!


PRAYER: Dear Good Teacher, teach me Your command to love as You have loved me. Thank You the Only Begotten Son given that I may not perish. King of kings, I lay my crowns and I worship You. Thank You, Jesus Christ, in Your Majestic Name have I prayed. 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!
