DAILY SHOWER February 26, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_O God, I thank You for today. Have mercy upon me. Let Your Grace lead me as I study Your word in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The Good news
Text: Collossians 1: 4 -8 (AMP Bible)
"For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus [how you lean on Him with absolute confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness], and of the [unselfish] love which you have for all the saints (God’s people); because of the [confident] hope [of experiencing that] which is reserved and waiting for you in heaven. You previously heard of this hope in the message of truth, the gospel [regarding salvation] which has come to you. Indeed, just as in the whole world the gospel is constantly bearing fruit and spreading [by God’s power], just as it has been doing among you ever since the day you first heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth [becoming thoroughly and deeply acquainted with it]. You learned it from [our representative] Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf and he also has told us of your love [well-grounded and nurtured] in the [Holy] Spirit."

I worship God for today's teaching. Help me to uphold them and walk according to Your words and instructions in Jesus name, Amen!
*1. I'm happy for the growth of Gospel at my households. The grace of God to do more exploit are already in me. Therefore, I hereby decree and declare that no evil shall come near me again in Jesus name, amen."
