DEVOTION ~ THE CHAIN OF GLORIFICATION

-

Theme: The Chain of Glorification
Text: Romans 6:29-30
29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover, whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.



God is the greatest architect. He has a divine plan for virtually everything from its inception to the end. His plan for man is evident in His eternal chain for salvation in today's text. This chain is beautifully woven between being foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified by God. While we were made in secret, God knew us and has great plans for us. Despite the shortcomings of the fallen man, God has predestined that we shall have the image of Christ reflected in us. Our lives are transformed into a divine dimension after death, for we shall experience the resurrection just as our Messiah. God has called us His children, and the seal of the Holy Spirit justifies our sonship or adoption to be authentic. By this justification, we are glorified as coheirs with Christ. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a peculiar people in God's Kingdom. 


Let us Pray: Almighty God, I'm overjoyed You foreknew me, and have predestined me to conform to the image of Christ. You have called me Your child and justified it through the Holy Spirit so that I can call You, Abba! Father! Thank You for the glorification in Christ Jesus upon my life. May I live daily to this truth in the Name of Jesus Christ, I have prayed. 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!
