DEVOTION ~ BLESSED ARE THE UNDEFILED

-

Theme: Blessed are the Undefiled

Text: Psalm 119:1

119 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord!


The undefiled in the Lord are those who have upheld the integrity of the faith. They never deviate from the law of the Lord but rather they walk honestly by the instructions of God. Dear beloved in the Lord, have you truthfully kept the faith? The way as Jesus admonished is narrow and difficult to walk but its end is life everlasting. However, the broad way is a lawless way that leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13&14). If you intend to walk the undefiled way be sure to be seen as weird or an alien before those who walk on the broad way. Unfortunately, people compromise their faith in the name of it being the new normal: Take note, what is normal to the people of the world is never normal with the children of God. Choose to be different and be light where there is darkness. 


PRAYER: Dear God, have mercy on me and deliver me from walking the defiled way. Grant me strength through the Blood of Jesus to uphold Your law and to keep my garment undefiled even as I journey in this perverse world. This I asked 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...

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!
