DEVOTION ~ THE SCORNFUL

-

Theme: The Scornful 

Text: Psalm 1:1c

1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful



In previous devotion, we learned that the way of sinners ends in destruction while the narrow way of godliness brings life. Today we will look at the final plague in Psalm 1:1 which talks about the seat of the scornful. The scornful has no regard for people and despises others either in words or by their actions. Sitting in the seat of the scornful means associating and indulging in the act of the scornful. Dear beloved in the Lord, if you give a little room to ungodly counsel, it guides you to the path of sinners and finally settles you in the seat of the scornful where you disregard the warnings of other believers as well as the Word of God contemptuously. You need to avoid the seat of the scornful because you do not mock men but rather God when you express yourself or act scornfully. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Galatians 6:7). Therefore, the scornful cannot benefit from the blessings of God.


PRAYER: Father in heaven, thank You for Your Word that teaches me how to access Your blessings. Guide me Holy Spirit of God to avoid the counsel of the ungodly, the path of sinners, and the seat of the scornful. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I am delivered from the spirit of the scornful and I manifest the fruit of the Holy Spirit. 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!"
