From Outcast to A Celebrity: Devotion for Sunday March 1, 2020

MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Devotion for Sunday March 1, 2020

Topic: From Outcast to A Celebrity                         

Text: Judges 11:1 – 11

There are many people born legitimately but has no achievement to show for it while many people who are termed ‘bastard’ have lived to become great and prosperous in the society.

The story of Jephthah in our bible reading for the day is an example that confirms the fact that parentage has little to do with what we become in life. When his people in Gilead were face with impending war from Ammonites, they remembered Jephthah and went to him to lead them into the war. He gave them a condition which they agreed on even with an oath. He that was despised became sought after and celebrity among the people that despised and rejected him. May that be your story that those that despised and rejected you will come looking for you to assist them in Jesus name!

Beloved, have people despised you and called you outcast, never-do-well, etc., because of your past? Are you now a shadow of yourself and downcast, and can’t raise your face in the public because of your past; your parentage, your sins, your failures in life, etc.?

Today, I am reminding you that God has hidden some talents in you that will lift out of your past, sin, failure, etc. God is waiting on you to take a step and your light will burst out for the world to acknowledge you. Those who hitherto had concluded that you can never succeed will come back to congratulate you and to ask for help. I am waiting to hear your testimony.

Food for Thought: Success is not based on parentage

Memory verse: Genesis 26:7

Prayer: Lord God, grant that all who despised me will come back to celebrate me in Jesus name.

Text: Judges 11:1 – 11                                

Jephthah was known as outcast. He was rejected by his people because he was not “born in a legitimate way.” There are many born legitimately but have no achievement whatsoever to show for it, while many people termed ‘bastard’ have lived to become great and prosperous in the society. The story of Jephthah as we have in our text is an example that confirms the fact that noble parentage has little to do with what we become in life.

When his people in Gilead were face with impending war from Ammon, they remembered Jephthah as a man of valour and went to him to lead them to the war. He gave them a condition which they agreed on even with an oath. He that was despised became sought after and celebrity among the people that despised and rejected him.

Beloved, have people despised you and called you outcast, never-do-well and all sorts of names because of your past? Are you now a shadow of yourself because you are downcast and can’t raise your face in the public because of your past, parentage, your sins and failures you have experienced in life?  I reassure you that God has hidden some talents in you that will lift out of that past, sin or failure. God is waiting on you to take a step and your light will begin to shine for the world to acknowledge you. Those who hitherto had concluded that you can never succeed will come back to you for help.

Food for Thought: Judges 11:8             

Memory verse: Judges 11:11

Prayer: Lord God, grant that all who despised me will come back to celebrate me in Jesus name. Amen.

FROM OUTCAST TO CELEBRITY: Devotion for Tuesday March 1, 2016

Text: Judges 11:1 – 11                    Memory verse: v11

People shouldn’t be blamed for their parentage because they can through personal merits roll away and overcome any reproach from such parentage. There are many born legitimately but have no achievement whatsoever to show for it; while many termed ‘bastard’ have lived to become great and prosperous in the society. The story of Jephthah in our text is an example that confirms the fact that parentage has little to do with what we become in life. When his people in Gilead were faced with impending war from Ammon, they remembered Jephthah and went to him to lead them into the war. He gave them a condition which they agreed on, even with an oath. He that was despised became a sought after and celebrity among the people that despised and rejected him.

Beloved, have people despised you and called you outcast, never-do-well, etc, because of your past? Are you now a shadow of yourself because you are downcast and can’t raise your face in the public because of your past; your parentage, your sins, your failures in life, etc? Today I want to reassure you that God has hidden some talents in you that will lift out of that past, sin, failure, etc. God is waiting on you to take a step and your light will burst out for the world to acknowledge you in this new month and beyond. Those who hitherto had concluded that you can never succeed will come back to you for help. Congratulation as I am waiting for your testimony. Happy new month!

Food for Thought: Judges 11:8

Prayer: Lord God, grant that all who despised me will come back to celebrate me in Jesus name.
