DEVOTION ~ DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL

-



Theme: Destroy the Works of the Devil

Text: 1 John 3:8

8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 


In previous devotion, we have been admonished to be careful of the antics of the devil so we are not deceived. The text for today's devotion is focused on Christ destroying the works of the devil. The origin of sin takes its root from the deeds of the devil and his agents. Therefore, he who sins is of the devil and is subject to the manipulation of the devil. However, there is hope in Christ Jesus to liberate such a soul from the dictates of the devil. Christ the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Dear beloved in the Lord, in Christ, you can also overpower the works of darkness in your family, health, workplace, community, church, and anywhere you find yourself. What works of darkness are tormenting the spheres of your life? Beloved, declare their end comes today by the power of the Holy Spirit. Begin to talk to God about that stubborn situation and declare that the Lord will put your adversaries to shame in the Name of Jesus Christ. 


Let us Pray: Thank You, God, for sending Your Son to destroy the works of the devil. I declare every hold of sin whatever the form it takes; secret, willful, or presumptuous is broken by the Blood of the Lamb of God. I declare I am a child of God and I subdue the works of the evil one underfoot 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!
