DEVOTION ~ THERE'S AN END TO EVERYTHING

Theme: There's An End to Everything

Text: 1 Corinthians 13:8

8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away


To everything in existence, there would surely come an end. That is, they would cease to exist. Just like how human beings die and are no longer present so would the gifts we have one day would cease. Whether be it the gift of prophecies, tongues, or knowledge they would cease at a point in time to give way to the perfect ceaseless presence of God. The only thing that would not cease is love for that is the true nature of God. When we appear before Him in His glory, love will bind us to Him, not our spiritual gifts. Dear beloved in the Lord, in as much as we desire to be filled with the gifts of the Spirit, we should understand that building a good relationship with the Lord is the utmost thing to do for that is what sums up the entirety of the law. 


Let us Pray: Heavenly Father, please help me to love unconditionally even as You bestow on me the diverse gifts of the Holy Spirit as they would one day cease but love would not. 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!
