DEVOTION ~ FAITHFUL SAYING II

-




Theme: Faithful Saying II
Text: 2 Timothy 2:12
12 If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.


In our previous devotion, we mentioned that we shall be learning about three faithful sayings of the apostle Paul of which we learned the first one on dying with Christ. In today's devotion, we shall look at the second saying: "If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. The Lord's path to victory was not rosy. At the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed if it is possible the cup should pass Him by but not His will but rather the Father's will be done. Teaching us to learn to endure to reign with Him. We are not called to a ministry of ease but the Lord is faithful to see us through if we do not give up. A possible means to endure is not denying who the Lord is to us. Denying Christ is embracing the devil. Jesus said it plainly: But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven (Matthew 10:33). Will you deny the Lord? 


Let us Pray: Almighty God, forgive me for not enduring the hardship of faith. Have mercy on me and strengthen me to endure to the end. May I never deny You no matter the circumstance that comes my way. 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!
