DEVOTION ~ THE LAST SUPPER

-



Theme: The Last Supper
Text: Luke 22:14-16
14 When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”



Previous devotion taught us that Jesus requested His disciples to prepare a place for the Passover meal. Today's text focuses on the day of the Passover and its unfolding events. What was your experience the last time the entire family was together to feast or dine? Guess it was such an awesome moment to behold, and you wished it would be a daily affair. In reflecting on the essence of the Last Supper, we are struck by the profound significance of this moment. Jesus gathers with His disciples, sharing a meal that transcends mere sustenance. He speaks of eagerly desiring to eat this Passover with them, highlighting the deep connection and love He has for His followers. This meal is not just a farewell; it’s a covenant, a promise of redemption. 

The Last Supper is a call to remember, to reflect on the depths of His love and the new life He offers. It’s a moment that invites us to partake in an intimate and transformative relationship, reminding us that through Him, we are never alone. The Last Supper is not the end but rather the beginning of a new dawn—a dawn of hope and assurance that the Kingdom of God is our ultimate destination. 


Let us Pray: Almighty God, I invite You into my life to be Lord over it. May the covenant in Christ deepen our relationship and may I someday partake of the Passover meal with You in Your Kingdom. 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!
