DEVOTION ~ YOU'RE MADE RIGHT

Theme: You're Made Right
Text: Ecclesiastes 7:27-29 
27 “Here is what I have found,” says the Preacher, “Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason, 28 Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find: One man among a thousand I have found, but a woman among all these I have not found. 29 Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”


Man has been a perfect masterpiece of God. He created us wholly in His image without flaws. However, the sins of Adam and Eve tainted the glory of man. In the concluding verses of Ecclesiastes seven, the Preacher reveals his curious intent and what its outcome was. First, he realised experimental living does not always prove a point. He simply reveals that man cannot find reasons for everything that happens on this earth because we don't know beyond our abilities. 

Second, he also stated he could find a rare man in a thousand but not a woman. His numerous wives and concubines may have failed him in his search for a rare woman. Probably, he noticed they might all have similar characteristics. With his wisdom, he realises it's all vanity to have numerous wives, for God's reward to man is a wife (Ecclesiastes 9:9). His assertion was fully affirmed in the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31, which is ascribed to him.

Lastly, the Preacher reveals what led to the fall of man. Our passion to have, even what isn't ours, has led us astray from God's purpose for our lives. Thanks be to Jesus, we can be made righteous in His righteousness. Dear beloved in the Lord, we can only have our original blueprint in Christ Jesus. 


Let us Pray: Almighty God, forgive me for staining my garment of righteousness and help me to walk in the righteousness of Christ wholeheartedly. 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!
