DEVOTION ~ DIVINE INSTRUCTION

-



Theme: Divine Instruction

Text: Acts 10:21&22

21 Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?” 22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” 


In yesterday's devotion, we learned that the angel instructed Peter to go meet the men downstairs without doubting anything. In the text for today, Peter meets up with the men and gets to acquaint with them and to know their mission. The response of the men affirms what the angel told Peter that he had sent them. Dear beloved in the Lord, if you are spiritually conscious, you will never fail any divine instruction concerning your marriage, conception, nurturing of children, family, ministry, businesses, career, projects, and other areas of your life. There is a word from God concerning your life that you must hear. Until you submit to God, and resist the deceit of the devil, the word cannot reach you. You ought to study the word and avail like Cornelius. He is described to be a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews. Are your ways just? Do you fear God? Do you have a good reputation among true believers? If your response to these questions is no, then you need to reconsider your ways in the Lord. Talk to God about the things that hinder your obedience to His divine instruction and make a conscious effort to hearken to His voice always.


Let us Pray: Almighty God, grant me a listening spirit to be attentive to Your divine instructions. May I fear You in all my ways, so that my ways will be just, and earn a good reputation in whatsoever I do. 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!
