DEVOTION ~ SWAYED FROM THE TRUTH

-



Theme: Strayed from the Truth
Text: 2 Timothy 2:17b&18
Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.



Yesterday's devotion taught us that we should not entertain worthless utterances as they lead us to sin. Today's text gives an example of worthless talk concerning the resurrection. Hymenaeus and Philetus were converts of the apostle Paul but failed to learn from him. Dear beloved in the Lord, the Saviour of our souls shall return to judge both the living and the dead on how they lived their lives. Be not deceived that the Day of the Lord has come already. Jesus' return is unknown to anyone therefore be on guard lest you are swayed from the truth. Let every action you take reflect the truth and the will of God. Jesus is the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in Him, shall have eternal life. However, if we are swayed from the truth, we shall not partake of the resurrection. Live every moment as though it is your last on earth. 
  


Let us Pray: Almighty God, the desires of the flesh often make me compromise my faith acting in ways contrary to Your truth. Please deliver me from unwholesome lifestyles that sway me from Your truth. May I be found worthy to enter into Your rest on the Day of the Lord. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

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...

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!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
