DEVOTION ~ LAWLESSNESS

-




Theme: Lawlessness 

Text: 1 John 3:4

4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.


The rate of crime is on the ascendancy and most people do not even have any shame in committing crime because it is the new normal. The text for today states whoever sins also commits lawlessness and sin is lawlessness. Indeed the lawlessness in our society is a result of sin. As a child of God let the Word of God be a guide to you in whatsoever you do. Whatever is unlawful in the Word is sin so do not let the desires of the flesh entice you to engage in them. We need to rise up to curb the menace of lawlessness in our society by first turning to God in true repentance. We must also rebuke those who encourage lawlessness so that we may direct them to the saving grace of God. Never promote lawlessness in the enacting of laws that do not conform to the purpose of God.   


Let us Pray: Almighty God, have mercy on me for my acts of lawlessness in my speech, actions, thoughts, and heart. I pray Your precious Blood cleanses me from every form of lawlessness and may the cleansing have a reflection in the world, especially with governing bodies that make decisions in enforcing laws. May their hearts and minds conform to Your will and help them to reject any form of lawlessness. 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!
