EASTER DECLARATION ~ REUNION

-



Theme: Reunion

Text: Luke 23:46

46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” Having said this, He breathed His last.


In yesterday's devotion, we learned the Saviour on the cross said tetelesai (it is finished). Today's text focuses on what Jesus said before He gave up His Spirit. This word is recorded in Luke 23 verse 46 which is often referred to as a word of reunion with the Father. Christ knew just who He must entrust His Spirit to and that is the Almighty God. Entrusting our spirits to God means a total surrender and embracing the perfect will of God for our lives. Whatever we surrender to God can never be snatched by the evil one. This explains why Christ did not remain in the grave but rather resurrected. We ought to begin and end every phase of our lives with God, Christ began and ended with the Father and His ending is glorious to behold. Let us strive to reunite with God physically and spiritually daily. A reunion with the Father breaks the barriers to us having a peaceful fulfilled life. 


Let us Pray: Thank You Almighty God for the gift of Easter and for teaching us every step on the cross on forgiveness, salvation, relationship, abandonment, distress, triumph, and reunion. I commit my spirit to Your Hands and ask that I shall be transformed by the passion of Christ to bring glory and honor to Your Name. This I ask 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!
