DEVOTION ~ YOU SHALL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME

 Theme: You Shall not be Put to Shame 

Text: 2 Corinthians 7:14

14 For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so, our boasting to Titus was found true.


In our previous devotion, we learned the Apostle Paul was comforted by Titus' return from the church in Corinth. He made mention of the Corinthians' good deeds to Titus and was confident they would uphold the truth in all things. Titus' report confirmed what he said about the church in Corinth. Dear beloved in the Lord can there be an honest report about you which will prove true when those who do not know you encounter you? The Corinthians persisted to live to the expectation even in the absence of Apostle Paul.  If you live a double life, you would be put to shame but if you abide in the truth, you shall never be put to shame. Likewise, we must train new converts and our children in truth so they live truthful lives. Correct and praise them when you have to so that their lives are not built on deceit and ungodly living. Their lives would bring honour to God and you shall not be put to shame. 



PRAYER: Help me Lord to abide in Your truth in all things and at all places. I pray You shall send the right people my way to guide me in truth so that I may live to please You. Likewise, make me a true friend to all You send my way so that I may guide them in the truth of Your Word. This I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

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!"
