DEVOTION ~ DO YOU MAKE GOD A LIAR?

Theme: Do You Make God a Liar?

Text: 1 John 5:10

 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.



In yesterday's devotion, we learned that the testimony of God of Jesus is far greater than any human testimony. Today's text goes further to tell us what we make of God if we reject His testimony of His Only Begotten Son who came to die for our sake. Truth proceeds from God and He has no lie in Him therefore if one fails to believe His testimony, that individual projects God as a liar. The contradiction in that is that such an individual rather embraces the deceit and lies of the devil. No one can make God a liar but rather the individual has allowed the devil to blindfold him from seeing and knowing the truth. The liberation of such an individual is in Christ Jesus, until he believes in Jesus the testimony of God, the scale that covers his eyes cannot fall off. The moment Saul believed, after Ananias had prayed for him, immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized. Dear beloved in the Lord, do you have scales in your eyes? Believe in Jesus Christ and your sight shall be restored.


Let us Pray: Dear God have mercy on me for calling You a liar by not believing Your testimony of Your Son and Your promises in Him concerning my life, health, marriage, conception, career, finances, education, etc... I believe in Jesus and I surrender to Him. 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!
