DEVOTION ~ ARE YOU AFRAID?

Theme: Are You Afraid?

Text: Psalm 91:5&6

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.


In yesterday's devotion, we learned that God shall deliver us from evil traps and deadly diseases. Today's text is the psalmist's assurance that there is no need to fear if you are secured in the shelter of the Most High. Are you frightened by the sight of the wickedness of the wicked? You don't have to for the Lord is your refuge and fortress. The wicked schemes evil at any given time whether by night or day; dawn, morning, noon, twilight, evening, and deep in the night. The wicked terrify people by night, they shoot arrows of untimely death, affliction, pain, unforgiveness, bitterness, discord, and all manner of evil arrows by day. As we awake to have a quiet moment with God and to seek His face, they shoot arrows of evil against people by satanic enchantment. In the night, they attack people with deadly diseases in nightmares and on their beds. By noon their evil destructions begin to manifest against those who fail to take refuge in the Lord's shelter. But we who have the mark of the Blood of the Lamb and abide in the shadow of the Almighty, shall not be afraid of their satanic agenda. Decree you are secured in Christ therefore you shall not be afraid. 


Let us Pray: Thank You, Lord, that I abide in Your shadow therefore I shall not be afraid of the wickedness of the wicked. I decree the operations of every terror of the night, the arrow of every that flies by day, the pestilence that walks in darkness, and the destruction that lays waste at noonday expire in my life and family. We trample them underfoot in the Name of Jesus Christ have I prayed. 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!
