Be my ambassador

 DAILY SHOWER December 31, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Be my ambassador 

Text: Ephesians 4:1-10 (NIV):

"4:1. As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

4:2. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.4:3. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

4:4. There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called--

4:5. one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

4:6. one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

4:7. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.

4:8. This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men."

4:9. (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions?

4:10. He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)"

SHOWER (Reflection):

Brethren, welcome to the last day of the month of December, and last day of the year 2022. We are grateful to God who made it possible. We are glad that we are seeing the last day but the last day will not see us in Jesus name, Amen. It has been eventful, uplifting and others throughout the year. We pray God to help us see more of this kind day in Jesus name, Amen. Today, this scriptural verse is reminding us of changes of attitudes, revival and restoration as we crossover to the year 2023. Christ wants us to remember to become or remain His ambassador as we enter next year. Do not disappoint Him. He will surely bless you richly. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O Jesus, thank You for this Year 2022. I am thanking you also for taking me to the year 2023 in Jesus name, Amen.

2. I am unstoppable because Christ Jesus has made me so. Therefore, I command you- devil that wants to stop me to be put to shame in Jesus name, Amen.

3. Powers and principalities that have joined war with those from my father's house with hope to kill me, by the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, be wasted before 12am today in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Keeping to your purpose in life

 DAILY SHOWER December 29, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Keeping to your purpose in life 

Text: John 12:20-28 (NIV):

"12:20. Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the Feast.

12:21. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we would like to see Jesus."

12:22. Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.

12:23. Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

12:24. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

12:25. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

12:26. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

12:27. "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.

12:28. Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

SHOWER (Reflection):

This is teaching us to discover our purpose in life and keep to it. Do not allow the pressure or pleasure to take away your purpose in life. Do not allow the situations of life or whatever to constitute a clog in your wheel. Some of us are always victims of indecision in life. Come on! Become that man or woman God wants you to become. Turn deaf ears and blind to the world. And you will get to the appointed place. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O Jesus, help me to discover your purpose for me on earth, and to stand up for it forever in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O God arise, level the ground for total emancipation for me ahead of 2023 in Jesus name, Amen.

3. Powers and principalities that have joined war with those from my father's house with hope to kill me, by the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, be wasted by fire before 31st night, Amen!!!

If you suffer for the kingdom

 DAILY SHOWER December 28, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: If you suffer for the kingdom 

Text: 1 Peter 4:13-19 (NIV):

"4.3. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

4:14. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

4:15. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.

4:16. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

4:17. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

4:18. And, "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"

4:19. So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Brethren, do not get angry when you suffer for the kingdom. God has promised to reward those who suffered for the gospel richly at the end. What does suffering for kingdom entails? This includes doing the works of God amidst persecution. It also means investing in promoting the gospel, fasting and praying, etc. Get up now and start the movements to serve God.  

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O Jesus, empower and enlighten me to share in Your suffering and wear the crown at last. In Jesus name, Amen.

2. O God arise, bring down to me good tidings and all blessing meant for me this year, in Jesus name, Amen.

3. God of vengeance, arise and consume them by power and authority all those wishing me dead this year, Jesus name, Amen!!!

Save yourself

 DAILY SHOWER December 27, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Save yourself 

Text: Matthew 3:1-9 (NIV):

"3:1. Those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea

3:2. and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

3:3. This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'"

3:4. John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

3:5. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan.

3:6. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

3:7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

3:8. Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

3:9. And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Welcome, brethren. I trust you are enjoying the season and the reason for the season. We are been exposed to another reason to be careful in life. You don't need to live anyhow or behave anyhow because you are celebrating Christ's glorious birth. It is a call for Salvation and to express gratitude to God. Today's teaching is teaching us to understand that our presents cannot save us. No matter how much they love you, cherish, pray for you and do all kinds things for your survival. You must stand your ground to water the ground. The grace of your parents can fade any moment. But that which you built in Christ Jesus stands forever. Jesus will deal with you directly when you seek Him diligently. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O Jesus, I worship You. You are too good. I pray for strength and wisdom to serve You better in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O God arise, force my enemies into the pits they prepared for me this year so that cannot follow me to 2023. In Jesus name, Amen.

3. Every principality and power touring East, West, North and South to prevent my joy; I commit you in fire of hell in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Text: Romans 1:3-7(NIV):

"1:3. regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David,

1:4. and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

1:6. And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

1:7. To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Today is a great day. The day we become expectant mothers, fathers and sons. God who ordained us to live to this day, is doing it with a reason. He wants us to go on going good in His name. He has ordained us to carry-on the onerous project of discipleship. Join the train.

2. O God arise, disgrace those who planned to disgrace me this season. Kill those who wished me dead in Jesus name, Amen.

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Time to pay back

Text: Luke 5:33-39 (NIV):

"2:12. Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime!

2:13. Has not the LORD Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?

2:14. For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

2:15. "Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies.

2:16. You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and be exposed! The cup from the LORD'S right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

2:17. The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and your destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Glory be to God! Hallelujah hosanna in the highest. We are happy to have behold a new day of glory. God has done it as He always does. Today is however, most special because He has promised to visit the evil men with evil, destructions and others they have been sending to us. Rise up! Just be shouting Hallelujah hosanna because He has taken over our problems. You shall celebrate all through the Yuletide. Those who wished you evil are those to suffer the pain in Jesus name, Amen.

3. O Jesus! Because You live, I shall celebrate this season, while my enemies mourn although in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Testimonies

 DAILY SHOWER December 19, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Testimonies 

Text: John 1:19-28 (NIV):

"1:19. Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was.

1:20. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Christ."

1:21. They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."

1:22. Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

1:23. John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'"

1:24. Now some Pharisees who had been sent

1:25. questioned him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

1:26. "I baptize with water," John replied, "but among you stands one you do not know.

1:27. He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie."

1:28. This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing."

SHOWER (Reflection):

This is season of testimonies. The year is coming to an end in about two weeks time. What has God done to you this year that you are yet to honour or celebrate him? That you are alive from January to December, is a great testimony. Go on and testify of God's goodness before men and women. Go to motherless babies homes, Old people homes, street beggars and so on to celebrate with them. Let them have you to testify to God about. John testified about Jesus; a man whose thong's sandals he cannot remove. What of you? What can people say about you tomorrow ? Make an amend today as we journey to 2023!!!

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O Jesus, we testify of goodness and kindness unto us in the year 2022. Be praised, be magnified and exalted in the highest, Amen.

2. O God arise, cut down and burn to ashes any tree standing anyway to my greatness in Jesus name, Amen.

3. Jesus I love You. All I have is yours today and forever more. Remove and destroy anything that wants to stop me from enjoying my Christmas and New Year in Jesus name, Amen!!!

My God will humble them

 DAILY SHOWER December 18, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: My God will humble them

Text: Habakkuk 1:5- 11(NIV):

"1:5. Look at the nations and watch--and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.

1:6. I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwelling places not their own.

1:7. They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honor.

1:8. Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their cavalry gallops headlong; their horsemen come from afar. They fly like a vulture swooping to devour;

1:9. they all come bent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners like sand.

1:10. They deride kings and scoff at rulers.. They laugh at all fortified cities; they build earthen ramps and capture them.

1:11. Then they sweep past like the wind and go on--guilty men, whose own strength is their god."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Don't loose hope. God will humble them that are attacking you. Whatever measure they put in place on this December, God will empower you to overcome. What kills man more is pride. God humbled Babylon, making them to acknowledge and reference Him alone. Two days are enough to redo all you lost in the past.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, my father, punish them, devalue them and prosecute them who are currently fighting for my head. In  Jesus name I pray, Amen.

2. I am servant of the Most High God, December shall not spill my blood or those of my family in Jesus name, Amen.

3.Jesus I love you. All I have is yours today and forever more. In You, I stand out and positioned for exploit in  Jesus name, Amen!!!

My stranger

 DAILY SHOWER December 17, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: My stranger 

Text: Colossians 4:1-6 (NIV):

"4.1. Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

4:2. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

4:3. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

4:4.;Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.

4:5. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.

4:6. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Stranger is assumed to be an unknown person, visitor or observer, depending on the context it is being discussed. In today's bible passages, strangers could also be your saviour. If you look the parable of good Samaritan, you will see that a stranger can be your saviour, destiny helper or God's angel. That is why you should treat all equal and better. You make do with what an opportunity presents to you. That stranger might have been sent to uplift you because God designed everything His own way. If you don't utilise it, you may loose it forever. Don't disperse them...rather study and prayerfully take care of strangers to see if God will bless and uplift you. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, my father, open my eyes to recognise and walk in good way with every stranger you sent to uplift me in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

2. I am servant of the Most High God. I resist satanic plans to deprive me access to my destiny helpers and promotions in Jesus name, Amen.

3. December 2022, what are you still waiting for to bless me? Loose yourself now and allow God to change my story for good before 25th; in  Jesus name, Amen!!!

Be attentive to God's word

 DAILY SHOWER December 16, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Be attentive to God's word

Text: Isaiah 21:1-10 (NIV):

"21:1. An oracle concerning the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the southland, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror.

21:2. A dire vision has been shown to me: The traitor betrays, the looter takes loot. Elam, attack! Media, lay siege! I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.

21:3. At this my body is racked with pain, pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor; I am staggered by what I hear, I am bewildered by what I see.

21:4. My heart falters, fear makes me tremble; the twilight I longed for has become a horror to me.

21:5. They set the tables, they spread the rugs, they eat, they drink! Get up, you officers, oil the shields!

21:6. This is what the Lord says to me: "Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.

21:7. When he sees chariots with teams of horses, riders on donkeys or riders on camels, let him be alert, fully alert."

21:8. And the lookout shouted, "Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; every night I stay at my post.

21:9. Look, here comes a man in a chariot with a team of horses. And he gives back the answer: 'Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!'"

21:10. O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD Almighty, from the God of Israel."

SHOWER (Reflection):

When the prophets speak, sometimes it is hard to be understood. But God's word is like two edged sword; it takes a critical look, wisdom and knowledge to be understood. Our God is by this word, urging us to repent as our trusted allies, gods and goddesses are powerless and failures. They always fail when you need them most. But God almighty helps, saves and uplifts especially when you less expected. What a contrast! God comes when people believed that your own is gone! He comes when people already wrote you off. And His word is usually the last bus stop. It was when Sampson was at the verge of death that bible recorded that he killed more people. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, make me to know You! O God, bring me closer to You and save me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

2. Every obstacles on my way to success, die so that I must move forward. In Jesus name, Amen.

3. The favour that will shake and surprise the world around me, fall on me now in   Jesus name, Amen!!!

Self defence

 DAILY SHOWER December 15, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Be ready to defend yourself 

Text: Luke 21:5-14 (NIV):

"21:5. Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said,

21:6. "As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down."

21:7. "Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?"

21:8. He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.

21:9. When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

21:10. Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

21:11. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

21:12. "But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.

21:13. This will result in your being witnesses to them.

21:14. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Defence is a mechanism by which person or people are expected to prove their worthiness or showcase evidence or surety of their action or cause they are fighting. But Jesus is talking about what will happen at last on the last day; when the trumpet will sound everyone is expected to tell God why he/she did this or that, including how they were able to carry-on the purposes by which they were created. Don't worry about fake prophets and prophesies but remain focused on living a purposeful life. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. By your power O God, I resist every satanic utterances and craftiness to make me empty in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

2. O God arise, send my destiny helpers to locate, honour and uplift me with good tidings in this Yuletide. In Jesus name, Amen.

3. Agenda of the wickedness over my life this season, I return you to your senders in  Jesus name, Amen!!!

Reconciliation

 DAILY SHOWER December 13, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Reconciliation  

Text: Colossians 1:15-23 (NIV):

"1:15. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

1:16. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

1:17. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

1:18. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

1:19. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,

1:20. and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

1:21. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.

1:22. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation--

1:23. if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Reconciliation is process of making peace or bringing back enemies (or people who held contrary views in the past due to selfish needs). To reconcile, is to reconnect, reshape and revive people again. We are sinners, and it separated us from God. However, Christ came and died on the cross to bring us and make peace between us and God. This is commendable and should be valued by all. If you want to experience it before hand, try to cause feud with your benefactor and see how life would be with you throughout the period. Let us acknowledge Him in our behaviour. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I am sorry for not living to the standard You created me to be due to sins. Have mercy and reshape me again. I promise not to disappoint You again in Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I resist all forces of darkness and evil mercenaries targeted against me and my household this month. In Jesus name, Amen.

3. O God arise, destroy my destroyers; burn the household enemies to ashes in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: When God not devil is talking 

Text: Isaiah 48:2-11 (NIV):

"48:2. you who call yourselves citizens of the holy city and rely on the God of Israel--the LORD Almighty is his name:

48:3. I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

48:4. For I knew how stubborn you were; the sinews of your neck were iron, your forehead was bronze.

48:5. Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, 'My idols did them; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.'

48:6. You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? "From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you.

48:7. They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, 'Yes, I knew of them.'

48:8. You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ear has not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth.

48:9. For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off.

48:10. See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

48:11. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another."

SHOWER (Reflection):

When the God Almighty is talking to you, you will know. He says he has refined us. He has done and He is doing a new thing to us. He has promised new things to us. And are hopeful. Just be hopeful and prayerful. God will show us mercy without sorrow. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. Every conspiracy of the wicked world over my life, I command them all to be roasted by fire in Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I shall be favoured by my friends and enemies in Jesus name, Amen.

3. I reject whatever that was done in my father's house against me. O God arise and destroy them in Jesus name, Amen!!!

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Be you not afraid 

Text: Matthew 17:1-7 (NIV):

"17:1. After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

17:2. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

17:3. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

17:4. Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

17:5. While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

17:6. When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified.

17:7. But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid."

SHOWER (Reflection):

At the beatitudes, the disciples became afraid. They were probably terrified because of what they saw, heard and also thinking about. A lot happens in our society that could make or mar our moods. But Jesus is telling us not to be afraid. Is it because of sickness, lacks or some other things? Do not be perturbed. God will do a new thing for you this season. Only hold unto Him with prayers and thanksgiving. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. I was created in image of God. Christ is in me, around me and within me. Therefore, I am not afraid of anything or body in Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I reject whatever the evil men are thinking or wishing me. Let them die by fire in  Jesus name I pray, Amen.

3. I reject whatever that was done in my father's house against me. O God arise and destroy them in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Feeding the hungry

 DAILY SHOWER December 6, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Feeding the hungry  

Text: Matthew 15:29-39 (NIV):

"15:29. Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down.

15:30. Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.

15:31. The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.

15:32. Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."

15:33. His disciples answered, "Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?"

15:34. "How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they replied, "and a few small fish."

15:35. He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.

15:36. Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people.

15:37. They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

15:38. The number of those who ate was four thousand, besides women and children.

15:39. After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Christmas is here again. People are running Helter skelter to gather what they will wear, eat or drink. But God is saying another thing to you and I. That's, be still. Be calm; I will do a new thing for you. The people that gathered to hear the word and receive healings from Jesus never expected that they will be fed too. But God saw the need and feted them. That is the type of God we serve. If you know whatever you know how to do, do it well. Don't cheat people or engage in some other illegalities. God will provide for you immesurably. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I commit our leaders into Your able hand; guide, direct and protect them to make good decisions for our benefits in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O God of vengeance, take vengeance for me. Destroy any spirit or power that is rising against me this week in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By your power, O God! Anything in me, around me or surrounding me that will make me not to be favoured this week, I command them to be roasted by fire in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Authorities Prayers

 DAILY SHOWER December 5, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Authority Prayers 

Text: 1Timothy 2:1-7 (NIV):

"2:1. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone--

2:2. for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

2:3. This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

2:4. who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

2:5. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

2:6. who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time.

2:7. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Prayer is the key to life. It remains the right channel through which we communicate with God. If we can use it to gain things from God, what about our fellow humans? It is very easy because bible says that the heart of kings are in God's hand. The king's here is/are people in authorities. These include our leaders from families to the president and ministers of a country. This extends to leaderships of churches, fellowships and other religious institutions. The benefits are enormous: it keeps them alive, healthy with wisdom to run away from temptations/sins. It helps us to draw them closer to God; when a leader is in Christ he makes goods policies; he thinks about people welfare; he surrounds his office with godly people too because bad company corrupts the good one (verse visa). 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I commit our leaders into Your able hand; guide, direct and protect them to make good decisions for our benefits in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O God of vengeance, take vengeance for me. Destroy any spirit or power that is rising against me this week in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By your power, O God! Anything in me, around me or surrounding me that will make me not to be favoured this week, I command them to be roasted by fire in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Appealing the hand of God

 DAILY SHOWER December 3, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Appealing the hand of God 

Text: Isaiah 5:25-30 (NIV):

"5:25. Therefore the LORD'S anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.

5:26. He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come, swiftly and speedily!

5:27. Not one of them grows tired or stumbles, not one slumbers or sleeps; not a belt is loosened at the waist, not a sandal thong is broken.

5:28. Their arrows are sharp, all their bows are strung; their horses' hoofs seem like flint, their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.

5:29. Their roar is like that of the lion, they roar like young lions; they growl as they seize their prey and carry it off with no one to rescue.

5:30. In that day they will roar over it like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks at the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be darkened by the clouds."

SHOWER (Reflection):

The hand of God is not short to gift us our needs. His ears are not shutdown that He wouldn't listen to our supplications. It is our sin; our sins are not allowing us to enjoy the benefits accruing from Him paradise. Therefore, we wake up. The best thing to do in this regard is to make sure His anger is averted. We can only do that individually and collectively by avoiding sins or seeking repentance now! Because once His anger is rekindled against us, it may tarry for it to be quenched, especially if the person/persons have lost the grace of second chance. Give God chance to redefine your life now!

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, the creator and giver of life, I seek for Your repentance today. Forgive and free me from sins and anger in Jesus name, Amen.

2. I plead the anger of God on any power, evil man and woman who are tormenting me and my family in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the name of Jesus Christ, I liberate myself from evil forces, want or sorrow projected on the sky against this festive season. I jump and pass them in  Jesus name, Amen!!!

Now you are in Christ: what next?

 DAILY SHOWER December 2, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Now you are in Christ: what next?

Text: 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 (NIV):

"1:2. We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers.

1:3. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

1:4. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,

1:5. because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.

1:6. You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.

1:7. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

1:8. The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia--your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,

1:9. for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

1:10. and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath."

SHOWER (Reflection):

It is thing of joy to take decision to remain in Christ or not. And the best to it all is when you withstand your decision through sustainable behaviour, prayers and fellowship with the brethren. Today's teaching want to find out how far we have gone especially now the year is coming to an end. Can brethren, church members, neighbours, friends, etc. confess that you are truly what you preach, claim or assume to be? Is your behaviour at home, market, streets and so on? Reflect on this and take a stand. Our behavior and violations to our covenant with God could be the reason we are where we are today!

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I push myself forward to serve and exalt You alone through my behaviour, character and otherwise in Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I have overcome the evil foundation power from my father's house which had been pulling me down. In Jesus name, Amen.

3. O you month of December, I command you to open my doors of favour and let it remain open as ordered by God in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Separating the good from the bad

 DAILY SHOWER October 30, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Separating the good from the bad 

Text: Matthew 13:47-52 (NIV):

"13:47. Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish.

13:48. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.

13:49. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

13:50. and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13:51. "Have you understood all these things?" Jesus asked. "Yes," they replied.

13:52. He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Today's message wants to remind us the need for us to separate ourself from those who are not born again. We are of unequal york with unbelievers. Bible demands separation between the light and the darkness. This could be both physical and spiritual separation. Why it is important is because it helps to prevent contamination, checkmate progress and move forward. However, it doesn't mean that you should start keeping malice or chastise. Yes! Separate with love and purity. God created heaven and Earth, separated day from the darkness, and so on. He did all to distinguish between both and create opportunity for transformation. How can you bring more souls to Christ if you still behave or live same way with same people (unbelievers) you wants to change? That is why there is need for separation. If you fail, it will affect you on the judgement day when God Himself and His angels will separate you from the kingdom. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, my father, help me to separate. Whatever that will prevent me from heaven, please separate me from them in  Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, whoever wants me to perish with the month of November, shall die in my place in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I shall not fail or loose what God destined for me in this month of November, in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: When God will remember you

Text: Isaiah 2:1-5 (NIV):

"2:1. This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2:2. In the last days the mountain of the LORD'S temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

2:3. Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

2:4. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

2:5. Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD."

SHOWER (Reflection):

The time has come for our God to remember us. When He remembers you, He will establish Himself in you, your household and all that concerns you. All your troubles will be settled and set free. He is calling on you. Please, answer that clarion call He is making towards you. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, my father, call again. I will answer. Establish Yourself in me and take me higher in Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, whoever wants me to perish with the month of November, shall die in my place in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I shall not fail or loose what God destined for me in this month of November, in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Discerning the word of God

 DAILY SHOWER October 28, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Discerning the word of God

Text: Matthew 13:13-23 (NIV):

"13:13. This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

13:14. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

13:15. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'

13:16. But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

13:17. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

13:18. "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:

13:19. When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

13:20. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

13:21. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

13:22. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

13:23. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

SHOWER (Reflection):

The word of God is like two edges sword. If you use either of the edges, they can wound or cure, heal and prosper people. Today's scripture passage is only telling us that in all, we must understand the word, how it works and work with it. That is the sure message. Jesus told the parable of sower to illustrate how the word of God enters or works in our life. There are those who have heard the word but could not work with it due to worries of the world (poverty, hunger, etc ), or because they are not strong in the church or house of God where they belonged. This calls for commitment, seriousness, love and purity. When you know your God, you will serve Him alone to the end. Therefore, we must marry and study the word of God for God, not for merrymaking or reading sake. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I desire to worship and follow you for all the rest of my life. Please, give me what wisdom and understanding to actualise this in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O God arise, attack, destroy and push away those who vowed to push me away from the Kingdom You set for me, in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I shall not fail or loose what God destined for me in this month of November, in Jesus name, Amen!!!

My month of Restoration

 DAILY SHOWER October 25, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Your month of Restoration 

Text: Hosea 2: 14-23 (NIV):

"2:14. "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her.

2:15. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will sing as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

2:16. "In that day," declares the LORD, "you will call me 'my husband'; you will no longer call me 'my master.'

2:17. I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips; no longer will their names be invoked.

2:18. In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety.

2:19. I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.

2:20. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD.

2:21. "In that day I will respond," declares the LORD--"I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth;

2:22. and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.

2:23. I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one.' I will say to those called 'Not my people,' 'You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are my God.'"

SHOWER (Reflection):

Our God is ever faithful, merciful and lovely. He promised to restore us and in today's message, He is assuring us immediate restoration. The month of December is actually the month of restoration. But the goodies usually start by late November. That is what is about to happen. All your touring, sufferings, pains, agony and problems from January to November, is going to receive instant blessings. That is what December ought to be. See verses 20 to 23 of our message and see why it is time to praise God. Don't join them in killing yourself for the month of December. Just wait for Him to bless you for all you have done from the beginning of the year. God will surely restore us in Jesus name, Amen. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God of restoration, restore my life, joy, love and family as this month comes to end in Jesus name, Amen.

2. Attackers of my destiny; Attackers of my restoration; Attackers of my life. Jesus Christ is against you. Receive fire of God and die in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, November cannot come to end without allowing God's blessing that will announce me to the world in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Mountain Moving faith

 DAILY SHOWER October 24, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: The Mountain Moving faith 

Text: Matthew 8:5-13(NIV):

"8:5. When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.

8:6. "Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering."

8:7. Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him."

8:8. The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

8:9. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

8:10. When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

8:11. I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

8:12. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

8:13. Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour."

SHOWER (Reflection):

According to Hebrew 11: 1, faith is assurance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. It is an asset that you must tap from if you must excel. From our today's scriptural passage, you will discover that faith is really needed. Many are forcing their ways to visit one God's servant or another for miracle. They wouldn't mind if they must buy forms, tickets or pay cash just to secure appointment or healing with them. But here, a centurion, only pleaded for a word which he believed must set his servant free. If it is to be people of today, they will insist on purchasing air ticket to and fro, or transport fare just to ensure the God's servant visit their houses. We must remove this kind mentality as we move to 2023. You can't bribe your way to success. It comes naturally to the faithful.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O faithful God, speak the word and I shall be made whole. I don't doubt and I won't doubt on efficiency or efficacy of Your word again, in Jesus name, Amen.

2. Satanic go-slow propel by evil world to attack me this month, I command you to be roasted by fire in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, November cannot end without allowing God's blessing that will announce me to the world in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Attributes of a good listener

 DAILY SHOWER October 23, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: The attributes of a Good listener 

Text: Proverb 18:10-15 (NIV)

"18:10. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

18:11. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall.

18:12. Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

18:13. He who answers before listening--that is his folly and his shame.

18:14. A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?

18:15. The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out."

SHOWER (Reflection):

According to today's scriptural passage, a good listener pays attention to details. He/She thinks before replying. A good listener goes to whom or where to learn; not where  to teach. It is the heart that discerns that learns so fast. Do not be proud. It is when you hear or listens well that you can answer or do things perfectly. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, thank You for bringing me among the living today. Please make me a good listener that I may imbibe wisdom and prosper in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O you satanic power knocking at my door for evil, I bind you and cast you into fire in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I cannot be what my enemies said or think I will become in Jesus name, Amen.

4. O God arise, shame them that want to shame me this month in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Text: 1 Thesolonnians 4:7-12 (NIV)

"4:7. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

4:8. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

4:9. Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.

4:10. And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more.

4:11. Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you,4:12. so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

SHOWER (Reflection):

What have you passed through in life that you allowed to define your existence? Come on! Have a rethink and move on for God loved you. And want the best out of you.

Guarding your treasure

 DAILY SHOWER October 21, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Guarding Your treasure 

Text: Matthew 6:19-23 (NIV)

"6:19. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

6:20. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

6:21. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

6:22. "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

6:23. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

SHOWER (Reflection):

Treasure is your loved or valued item. There is no one that value or treasure what they don't value. According to our today's Buble passage, our treasure is supposed to be stored in a safe place depending on how we valued it. Yes. If you value money, you store it in the bank for onward use. If you value clothes, you store it in the wardrobe. This is to keep it safe for future use and benefits. But one day, all these things listed will be rotten, stolen or join the dead body of the owner to the grave. That's why God wants us to secure our heart in Heaven. He sees our heart as the most valuable treasure. Let's secure it now to avoid hard I know. How can we do that? It is by giving our lives to Christ; living holy and relating well with God and people around us.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, help me secure my treasure where it cannot be eaten my termites or mots in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O Jesus, I stand by Your authority and power to trample upon anything on my way to success in Jesus name, Amen.

3. Today is my day. This week is mine. I subdue and destroy the enemies of my progress in Jesus name, Amen!!!

The way to the top

 DAILY SHOWER October 19, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: The way to the top 

Text: Proverb 12:10-15 (NIV)

"12:10. A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

12:11. He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.

12:12. The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.

12:13. An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes trouble.

12:14. From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.

12:15. The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice."

SHOWER (Reflection):

There are many roads in life that seems good to a man. But not all that leads to the right direction. Only those who know where they are heading to will ask questions accordingly, think right and locate the right path. This is necessary because if you make bad or good choice, you will regret or enjoy it. Today, the book of Proverbs is reminding us why we must walk in Christ Jesus. The wise man thinks about others, works and listens to advice. Which of them are you? You must listen, pray, care for others too if you must get to the top.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I want to go the top. I need You in my life so that I won't walk amiss in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O Jesus, destroy those who want to destroy me. O Jesus, kill those who want to kill me. I will live to join in burying them in Jesus name, Amen.

3. I am rising everyday. The sun and the moon must favour me today as I walk about for my good in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Remain Truthful 

Text: Matthew 5: 33-37 (NIV)

"5:33. Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.'

5:34. But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne;

5:35. or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

5:36. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

5:37. Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Some used because of problems of the world to enter into oath they cannot no longer keep. God wants us to avoid making any pledge we cannot fulfill. He said let your yes be your yes. This is sure way to humble and exalt people. If you are under oath, fulfil it. If not, avoid it if you 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I Thank and pray You to guide my words and actions in Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I command all the blessings God destined for me this year (that are yet to come to quicken up in Jesus name, Amen.

3. I can no longer be poor for Jesus has lifted me up. Higher I must rise continuous lylname, Amen!!!

Mouth: an asset for divine favour or curse?

 DAILY SHOWER October 17, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Mouth: an asset for divine favour or curse?

Text: Proverb 10:2-11 (NIV)

"10:2. Ill-gotten treasures are of no value, but righteousness delivers from death.

10:3. The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

10:4. Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.

10:5. He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

10:6. Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

10:7. The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.

10:8. The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.

10:9. The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.

10:10. He who winks maliciously causes grief, and a chattering fool comes to ruin.

10:11. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Your mouth and tongue are special gifts God bestowed on us. He gave us these to serve Him and command our day to favour us and our neighbours. That's why the story of creation centres on it. He proclaimed that there should be light; and it came to pass. He announced there should be night, water, earth and others, and all came to being. What did He used in making the pronouncements? God used tongue/mouth. He also urged us to speak the word and it will be established. Unfortunately, some (if not many) see these as weapon to outshine others. They use their tongues and mouths to kill others, talk down on people, fight, lie, etc. Check yourself and make an amend now. That job you are waiting for or favour denied you, may be because of the sins you committed with your tongue.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I thank You for another day. Forgive me for not using my tongue as You instructed. Give me the grace to make an amend in Jesus name, Amen.

2. My tongue is from Jesus. My mouth is also from Him. I hereby charge them to work for my favour this morning and throughout today in Jesus name, Amen.

3. By the power in the name of Jesus Christ, I kill and destroy any power that dares me today in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Reconciliation not seed of favour

 DAILY SHOWER October 16, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Reconciliation not seed of favour

Text: Matthew 5:21-26 (NIV)

"5:21. You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'

5:22. But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.

5:23. "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,

5:24. leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

5:25. "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

5:26. I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

SHOWER (Reflection):

You might have heard pastors or your other religious leaders insisting, demanding or explaining why you must give offerings, tithes or seed offerings so that God will bless you. Some will even call it seed of favour, seed of prosperity or whatever. But God is telling us today that seeking or forgiving others who have offended you is the key to gaining favour, upliftment, promotions, health and others from God. To reconcile is to set free your heart, time and everything you hold against others. If you don't forgive, you will be insecure, thinking and reflecting on how you can punish or escape from your offender. That leads to heart attack and other health complications.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I thank You for another day of favour and grace. I pray for Your directions to do exploit today in Jesus name, Amen.

2. I stand by the power in the blood of Jesus Christ to cancel every evil thing done against me at night. And I hereon proclaim open doors and connections to move higher in Jesus name, Amen.

3. God has positioned me for exploit. I must do exploit it today. I cannot be push over in Jesus name, Amen!!!

The rewards of the proud

 DAILY SHOWER October 15, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: The rewards of the proud

Text: Daniel 5:18-31 (NIV)

"5:18. O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor.

5:19. Because of the high position he gave him, all the peoples and nations and men of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled.

5:20. But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory.

5:21. He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he wishes.

5:22. "But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this.

5:23. Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.

5:24. Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.

5:25. "This is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

5:26. "This is what these words mean: Mene : God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.

5:27. Tekel : You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

5:28. Peres : Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."

5:29. Then at Belshazzar's command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.

5:30. That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain,

5:31. and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two."

SHOWER (Reflection):

King Belshazzar became too arrogant that he took over the God's sacred materials and gave them to his households to eat and drink from. They were not eating alone but doing that by showering praises to idols. This same man knew that his father committed similar sin. You can see that even when he was been won of the consequences of his action he did not repent. He rather decided to make more merry. Many are living in this kind of proud and arrogance. The rewards of it are; lost of opportunities, lost of kingdoms, failures, premature death and others. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I am Your child. I don't want to live in proud and offend You. Help me to live as obidient child in Jesus name, Amen.

2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I command the earth to revolt against my enemies so that they will fall into the pits they set before me and die in Jesus, Amen.

3. God has risen upon me. I will keep marching forward to wear the crown He destined for me today and forever in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Only God is able to save us

 DAILY SHOWER October 14, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Only God is able to save us

Text: Revelation 5: 1-10 (NIV)

"5:1. Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.

5:2. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"

5:3. But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.

5:4. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.

5:5. Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."

5:6. Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

5:7. He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

5:8. And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

5:9. And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

5:10. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Let the living praise the God, who is able and ever ready to save us. He does the impossible tasks. From the passage, you will see where and how He was able to open and look into a scroll which none else could look at. May His name be exalted. We are always faced with situations like that. It takes Christ to set us free. Yes. What is that problem confronting you today? Call on Him. He will grant your requests.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I thank You for always standing in for me. I will praise You today, tomorrow and forever in Jesus name, Amen.

2. The earth is God and His fullness thereof. Therefore, I speak favour and upliftment into the earth this morning and this week. Men and women I will encounter this week will favour me in Jesus, Amen.

3. O you kingdom of darkness, I set you, your occupants and promoters ablaze. There's nothing you can do to me in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Be focus

Text: 2 Timothy: 4:9-18 (NIV)

"4:9. Do your best to come to me quickly,

4:10. for Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

4:11. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry.

4:12. I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

4:13. When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.

4:14. Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done.

4:15. You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.

4:16. At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.

4:17. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth.

4:18. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Today God wants us to remain focused. He did not want us exhibit any form of fear, discouragement or frustration in this race. This passage makes us to understand that it will never be a bed of all roses. So, temptations will surely come from among the brethren. Some will abandon you, other may accuse you of using extra power, fetish or been whatever. Ignore them! Forge ahead. God will keep fighting for you. Paul recalled here how he was abandoned in the court alone too. Even those who persecuted him was also mentioned. He just adviced Timothy to be weary of them. Let your experience and challenges in life teach and inspire you to do exploit for Christ!  

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I worship you for today's message. I am sorry for not applying this before now. I pray for Your spirit to carry them on in Jesus name, Amen.

2. Jesus, I love You. Empower me to be focused, agile and follow You to the end not minding the challenges of life. My experience and challenges shall win more souls for Jesus, Amen.

3. O you principalities and powers that wish me die before my time, I curse by the power in the blood of Jesus; die and be burnt to ashes in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Serve to be saved

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Serve to be Saved

Text: John 15:1-10 (NIV)

"15:1.  I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

15:2. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

15:3. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

15:4. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

15:5. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

15:6. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

15:7. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

15:8. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

15:9. "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

15:10. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love."

SHOWER (Reflection):

If you must succeed in life, you must submit yourself under someone as their servant. Principles of nature is that a master is over the servant, and must go extra mile to protect him. When you serve, you imbibe new virtues, skills, recognitions and so on. Today's scripture is appealing to us to submit ourselves totally to God so that He will give us our various needs. He is our father. No sensible father that will like his child to suffer or not succeed. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I thank You for allowing me to see this weekend. I submit myself to You. Mould me, use me and straighten me in Jesus name, Amen.

2. This is my day to succeed. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I command Saturday to release the remaining blessing God has made available for me this week in Jesus name, Amen.

3. O God, my father, because You are alive. I cannot suffer or die the same way my parents or relatives suffer or die in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Why you must seek wisdom 

Text: Proverb 8:11-21 (NIV)

"8:11. for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

8:12. "I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.

8:13. To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

8:14. Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power.

8:15. By me kings reign and rulers make laws that are just;

8:16. by me princes govern, and all nobles who rule on earth.

8:17. I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

8:18. With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.

8:19. My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.

8:20. I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,

8:21. bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full."

SHOWER (Reflection):

Wisdom is an asset, great gift from God. If you want to live longer in life with sound health and joy, seek wisdom. It was first thing King Solomon requested from God, and the benefits were the blessings he got from everywhere. With wisdom, you can distinguish between the black and blue, discover and invest on new opportunities. You may not get quick money through it, but wealth will surely come. Kneel down to seek for it before is too late.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I need wisdom. Please, make me wise so that I will serve You better and enjoy a longer healthy life in Jesus name, Amen.

2. I refuse to suffer pains and agony this month. Everyday of this month is blessed for me to live higher in Jesus name, Amen.

3. O God arise, by Your mercy and love, help me to enjoy the fruits of labour. Attract men and women to bless me in Jesus name, Amen!!!

The book of life

TODAY’S TOPIC: The Book of life

Text: Daniel 12:1-4 (NIV)

"12:1. At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the book--will be delivered.

12:2. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

12:3. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

12:4. But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."

SHOWER (Reflection):

The book of life is a sacred document containing believers name who are candidates of heaven. Today's scripture is reminding us of heaven and hell-fire, rapture and judgement day. It wants us to remember that tribulations will come, and second coming is at hand. It assures that anyone whose name is found in the book of life will be saved. How can someone's name appear in the book of life? That is by been born-again and righteous life because our God is Holy. We too must be Holy. Think over this before it is too late. 

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, I am a sinner. Please, have mercy on me and rewrite my name in the book of life in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O you wicked souls and personalities vowing to make me loose heaven. I reject you and your pranks. Your work is forever ineffective where am in Jesus name, Amen.

3. O God arise, by Your mercy and love, help me to enjoy the fruits of labour. Attract men and women to bless me in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Facts about righteousness

Text: 2 Timothy 2:22-26 (NIV)

"2:22. Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2:23. Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.

2:24. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

2:25. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,

2:26. and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will."

SHOWER (Reflection):

To be Righteous is to do things right; to be holy, live and behave like Christ. The righteous is expected to be wise. That is why today's teaching is calling on youth to be righteous. A righteous youth is expected to be holy, wise, truthful and knowledgeable. With this, he can be a good ambassador for Christ, know when to do one thing or another or propagate the word without fear or favour.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, make me a righteous youth so that my seed will change this generation to good for Christ, in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O you wicked souls, I reject you and your works. You can't stop me from following and propagating Christ in Jesus name, Amen.

3. O God arise, by Your mercy and love, connect me to my destiny helpers, and promote me beyond expectations in  Jesus name, Amen!!!

Are you a light of the world

Prayer before the Word: 

 _ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Are you a Light of the world?

Text: John 8: 12-19 (NIV)

"8:12. When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

8:13. The Pharisees challenged him, "Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid."

8:14. Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.

8:15. You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.

8:16. But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.

8:17. In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.

8:18. I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me."

8:19. Then they asked him, "Where is your father?" "You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. "If you knew me, you would know my Father also."

SHOWER (Reflection):

What happened when you lit a candle or switch on an electric bulb? If my guess is right, it shines;  and chases away darkness. That's the function it was actually sent to achieve. Light is meant to show people the way, announce arrival of new things, uncover the hidden, etc. In our today's teaching, Jesus announced Himself as the light of the world, adding that whoever walks with or in Him will have light everlasting. Great! He came to save us, redeem us and reconcile us with God. That is what He expected us to live by or be all through. If you are not living by that, kindly have a rethink before is too late.

PRAYER/DECLARATIONS

1. O God, make me the light that will shine in the world so that more souls shall be won for You in Jesus name, Amen.

2. O you wicked spirit of death following Ember month, my life is not available for you. The life of my family members who believe in Jesus are not also available for you this year. Therefore, I command you to die and be roasted by fire in Jesus name, Amen.

3. O God arise, by Your mercy and love, connect me to my destiny helpers, and promote me beyond expectations in  Jesus name, Amen!!!

3:14.But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."

3:15. But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

3:16. keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

3:17. It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

3:18. For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,

3:19. through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison

3:20. who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,

3:21. and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

3:22. who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand--with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

SHOWER (Reflection):

Many believed that once they are doing good things should improve for them. That is perfectly okay. But not always ideal for spiritual growth. Christ was persecuted because He was good man. Today's scripture is also telling us the same thing that may happen when you are in Christ. It says we should however not be perturbed because it shall be well at the last day.
