DEVOTION ~ KEPT IN GOD'S NAME

Theme: Kept in God's Name

Text: John 17:11&12

11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled


In yesterday's devotion, we learned that we need to offer a divine prayer for all our subordinates just as Jesus did for His disciples. The divine prayer of Christ for His disciples further stated that the disciples be kept in the Name of God. Why would He pray the disciples be kept in God's Name? According to Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe". Whatever God has entrusted to us can only be preserved in the Name of God. Your marriage, children, family, career, and everything you possess even your every life can only be preserved in God's Name. Take note, Judas Iscariot is the son of perdition. His involvement with people outside the circle of Jesus Christ took him out of the protection of God and exposed him to the dictates of the devil. Dear beloved in the Lord, if you are kept in the Name of the Lord the fulfillment of scripture in your life ends in glory but if you take the route of Judas Iscariot, you will perish. 


PRAYER: Almighty God, keep us in Your Name and deliver us from the path of perdition. Thank You Jesus for keeping us in the Name of God, in Your Name have we prayed. 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...

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!
