DEVOTION ~ WORSHIP WITHOUT DOUBTS

Theme: Worship Without Doubts 

text: Matthew 28:16&17

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.



In previous devotion, we learned that the women who came to the tomb were instructed to tell the disciples of Jesus to meet Him at Galilee. Today's text talks about their journey to Galilee to meet Him. On seeing the Lord, they worshipped Him but some had doubts. Doubt is a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction. As children of faith, the tool that can easily pull us down is doubt. Doubt is the opposite of faith and it does not assure us to hope in the possibilities of God's mighty act of miracles. Faith ceases to work when a pinch of doubt is in motion. Fear is a product of doubts and a perfect example is Simon Peter in Matthew 14 verses 27 to 30 said confidently “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” The Lord granted his request but when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Faithful worshippers have no doubts but rather activate the potency of faith while worshipping for that is the point they become untouchable. 


Let us Pray: I have come to worship You Lord, but my physical knowledge seems to cloud my judgment. Doubts and fear have set in my spirit but today I raise a hallelujah and declare the grip of doubt over my life is broken and I'm loosed. The fragrance of my worship is absolute faith that all things are possible with You. This I pray 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!
