DEVOTION ~ YOUR ADDRESS SHALL CHANGE

Theme: Your Address Shall Change

Text: Matthew 28:5&6

5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.



In the past few days, our focus has been on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The text for today is on an angel communicating to the women who came to the tomb what had happened to the Messiah. Yesterday's devotion highlights that the appearance of the angel scared even the guard so it will not be surprising the women could have also felt the same but were encouraged by the angel not to be afraid. They were told Jesus had risen and was not where He was lay which is proof of His resurrection. Dear beloved in the Lord, understanding the power of the resurrection aids us in employing it in our own circumstances when it seems the circumstance is beyond human reach. Whatever your challenge is, understand that when God sends your guardian angel, he will announce your change of address. Where people despise you, note God is turning things around for your good. Stop murmuring or complaining about the situation and rather seek God's guidance on how to develop ideas to break through. May God intervene in your circumstance and divinely strategically position you for His glory.


Let us Pray: Thank You God for making available the proof of the resurrection. I decree the power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in my life transforming and repositioning me at a place of honor. Where I was seen as nothing, by divine change of address, I am being honored to the glory of God. 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!
