5-Day Devotional (9/14/2025-9/20/2025)
Day 1: The Progressive Revelation of God
Reading: Acts 18:24-28
Devotional: Just as Apollos grew in his understanding of Christ through Priscilla and Aquila's guidance, God reveals Himself to us progressively. Reflect on your spiritual journey. How has your understanding of God deepened over time? Consider areas where you might need further growth or correction in your faith. Pray for humility to receive instruction and for God to continually reveal Himself to you through His Word and other believers.
Day 2: The Power of Discipleship
Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:11-14
Devotional: Paul's ministry was marked by constant encouragement and strengthening of disciples. How are you participating in discipleship relationships? Whether you're being mentored or mentoring others, these connections are vital for spiritual growth. Today, reach out to someone in your faith community. Offer encouragement, share a biblical insight, or simply listen to their struggles. Remember, discipleship isn't just about knowledge transfer—it's about doing life together in Christ.
Day 3: The Holy Spirit's Role in Our Lives
Reading: John 14:15-26
Devotional: The disciples in Ephesus hadn't heard about the Holy Spirit, but their encounter with Paul changed everything. The Holy Spirit is not just a theological concept, but a living presence in believers' lives. Reflect on how you've experienced the Holy Spirit's guidance, comfort, or conviction. Are there areas where you might be resisting His influence? Ask God to make you more sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading in your daily life.
Day 4: Correction and Growth in Community
Reading: Proverbs 27:17, Hebrews 10:24-25
Devotional: Priscilla and Aquila gently corrected Apollos, leading to powerful ministry. Genuine spiritual community involves both encouragement and loving correction. How do you respond to correction from fellow believers? Practice humility today by asking a trusted friend or mentor for feedback on your spiritual walk. Remember, correction in the body of Christ should always be motivated by love and aimed at growth, not condemnation.
Day 5: Using Your Gifts to Serve Others
Reading: 1 Peter 4:10-11
Devotional: Apollos used his gift of eloquence to powerfully share the gospel. Every believer has been given spiritual gifts to benefit the body of Christ. What are your unique gifts and talents? How are you using them to serve others and glorify God? Today, look for an opportunity to use your gifts in a way that encourages another believer or shares Christ's love with someone who doesn't know Him. Remember, your gifts are meant to be a channel of God's grace to others.
