DAILY SHOWER March 21, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_O God I worship You for another opportunity You granted me to be here today. Help me not to take it for granted. Open my heart to understand Your word and follow You accordingly in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Encourage one another in kindgom calls
Text: Hebrews 3:12-15 (AMP Bible)
“Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart] that turns away from the living God. But continually encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today” [and there is an opportunity], so that none of you will be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [its cleverness, delusive glamour, and sophistication]. For we [believers] have become partakers of Christ [sharing in all that the Messiah has for us], if only we hold firm our newborn confidence [which originally led us to Him] until the end, while it is said, “Today [while there is still opportunity] if you hear His voice, Do not harden your heart, as when they provoked Me [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].”
*SHOWER:*
The world we live in is full of deceits, hypocrites and evil. Today's passage enjoins us to remember to encourage one another in all we do. Because every living soul has an opportunity to change, an opportunity to become born again, another opportunity to make it, opportunity to go higher... So, don't harden your heart. So many have used because of these daily opportunities to forget God. This is apparently because they see new kind of evils everyday among the so-called believers. But can you use because you are thirsty of water to live inside well? It was because some Israelites hardened their hearts made them to perish in the wilderness. We must move on. But don't move on alone. Get someone to follow you to Christ. You must also be careful in doing this so that the person you want to carry along won't drag you back.
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
O God, it is my choice to follow You with all my households and property. Help me to accomplish this in Jesus name, Amen.
*1. The grace to follow God with all I have, including my family and friends, have come over me this day.*
*2. O God, I shall not disappoint You. Your might hand upon me will never allow me to be drag back by anyone.*
*3. I hereby decree and declare God's open door, mercy and uncommon favour to realise all my dreams in Jesus name, Amen.*
