Theme: Redeemed by God's Hand

Text: Nehemiah 1:10

10 Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand. 



Nehemiah's prayer is drawing to a close and he keeps his request politely and constantly reminding God what He has said concerning Jerusalem and its inhabitants. Dear beloved in the Lord, Nehemiah keeps a record of the redemption from the bondage of Egypt however, our redemption is in the great work of Christ on Golgotha. When we approach God to pray, we must understand we are His servants (sent out to proclaim the Gospel) and His people (coheirs with Christ). Therefore, we must pray to receive the power to proclaim His glory and ask that we be preserved in the strong Hands of God. The Blood of Jesus is speaking life over our destinies because we have been redeemed by the great power that raised Christ from the grave and the strong hand of God that lifted Him up to heaven. Fear not for you are the redeemed of the Lord.



PRAYER: Thank You heavenly Father that I am both Your servant and Your child by the redemptive work of Christ on the cross of Calvary. I pray Your great power and strong Hand shall keep me safe at all times even in the darkest moments of my life that I shall fear no evil. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

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!

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!
