DEVOTION ~ ROOTED TO PROSPER

-

Theme: Rooted to Prosper

 Text: Psalm 1:3b

3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.


In yesterday's devotion, we learned that a tree planted by rivers of water is never dehydrated and is fresh at all times. Indeed, so long as the tree has sufficient water to keep it fresh from the roots, the whole tree including its leaves shall not wither. Trees survive from the roots and manifest their blossoms and withers through their leaves. In the same vein, man can blossom or wither depending on the ground of his spiritual life: If he is rooted in the Living Water (John 4:10-14) will blossom but will wither the moment he departs from the Living Water. 

To wither means to be challenged by circumstances above your control and it will take the intervention of God to turn the situation around for good. The success  (ability to overcome the circumstance) of the man rooted in the Living water outweighs him who is not as he obtains divine peace to prosper in fields that are not fruitful and to display the glory of God at all times. Have you committed every field (ministry, marriage, children, family, career, finances, business, projects, etc...) of your life to God? If you have, then open your eyes to the prosperity in your fields of life. If you have not, it is never too late to be rooted in Christ to flourish. 


PRAYER: Lord God, Your Word enlightens me to be rooted in Christ so I may prosper. It is written to seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things shall be added unto it. I come to You today Lord, have mercy on me and water the fields of my life with Your Living Water that I may prosper spiritually and physically 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!"
