DEVOTION ~ CHAFF DRIVEN BY THE WIND

-

Theme: Chaff Driven by the Wind

Text: Psalm 1:4

4 The ungodly are not so but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.


In previous devotions, we talked about the righteous or the man who walks according to the precepts, instructions, and teachings of God listing the benefits of being faithful in the Lord. Today's text is about the ungodly. The ungodly is anyone who does not embrace the precepts, instructions, and teachings of God but rather finds pleasure in the counsel of the ungodly, walks with sinners, and takes a seat with the scornful. Such a man is described as chaff driven by the wind. That is to say, he is easily influenced or carried away by every doctrine or falsehood. He has no purpose for life and is spiritually worthless.

Therefore, the ungodly will be condemned in judgment. Unlike the righteous whom the Lord's grace will pardon, the ungodly shall not go unpunished. He will also not have any place with the godly (share in the inheritance of salvation). Dear beloved in the Lord, are you easily carried away by false teaching? Do you find it comfortable with ungodly ways, be warned that your end is destruction or damnation. The time to repent is now so confess your sins to God and ask Him to lead you in the narrow path of life in Christ Jesus.


PRAYER: Father, forgive me for my ungodly ways in my marriage, nurturing of children, ministry, and career, (list your shortcomings), and cleanse me by the precious Blood of Jesus. I break away from the worthless power of ungodliness and embrace the power of salvation in Christ Jesus. Lord have mercy on me and save me in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ 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...

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!"
