DEVOTION ~ YOU'LL NEVER CAUSE SHAME

-



Theme: You'll Never Cause Shame 

Text: Proverbs 10:5

5 He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. 


In yesterday's devotion, we learned that we ought to be diligent by being hardworking rather than being lazy. The text for today weighs the work of the wise person against the lazy person. It is written, that there is time for everything under the sun, a time to plant, and a time for harvest. We ought to know what time it is in our lives. At the time of harvest, we should work effectively to ensure we secure the harvest. The harvest of our lives can be the time to study, nurture children, honor our marital vows, be responsible, work effectively, and get things done well. If we fail to make the best use of the time of harvest, we shall be a disgrace to ourselves, family, and society. Anyone who fails to work during the harvest comes to nothing and causes shame because of the result. Dear beloved in the Lord, never sleep during the harvest for you ought to work while it is day for the night comes where no one can work. 


Let us Pray: Almighty God, equip me for every good work, and may Your Holy Spirit instruct me to gather in summer rather than sleep. Make me useful in my marriage, nurturing of children, ministry, career, and all spheres of my life. 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!
