EASTER DECLARATION ~ TRIUMPH

-





Theme: Triumph 
Text: John 19:30
 
30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.




The text for today will look at the word of triumph spoken by Jesus on the cross when He said "It is finished". He endured the pain, agony, and shame on the cross that He might give us victory. The Greek word translated as "It is finished" is tetelestai. Indeed Christ has conquered and given us victory on all sides. The fulfillment of the new covenant was established on the cross by the shedding of the Blood of the innocent for the guilty. The burden of the high priest to enter into the Most Holy place in fear has been overpowered. Our own flaws which have become a barrier to directly accessing God have been removed for us to enter into His presence in boldness. What Christ awaits after nailing all burdens to the cross is the resurrection. He has fulfilled every prophecy and so His declaration it is finished is a triumph cry of the mighty work of salvation. Dear beloved in the Lord, what is your burden in life? Christ has conquered it on the cross so you need not allow it to weigh you down. Rise up and speak to the burden it is finished and it has no hold on you again.



Let us Pray: Thank You God that I can boldly declare "It is finished" tetelestai to every stubborn challenge in every sphere of my life. I declare victory on all sides and I triumph in my going out and coming in from this day forth in the Mighty 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!
