DAILY SHOWER March 7, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_O God, I bless Your Holy name. Open my eyes to see and believe You as I worship You today in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Gospel of men in God's House
Text: Galatians 1:6-10 (AMP Bible)
“I am astonished and extremely irritated that you are so quickly shifting your allegiance and deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different [even contrary] gospel; which is really not another [gospel]; but there are [obviously] some [people masquerading as teachers] who are disturbing and confusing you [with a misleading, counterfeit teaching] and want to distort the gospel of Christ [twisting it into something which it absolutely is not]. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we [originally] preached to you, let him be condemned to destruction! As we have said before, so I now say again, if anyone is preaching to you a gospel different from that which you received [from us], let him be condemned to destruction! Am I now trying to win the favor and approval of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please someone? If I were still trying to be popular with men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
*SHOWER:*
It's a pity that the Church of God seemed to be muptipling every day just as sins are equally multiplying. Every city, towns, streets and even households can now boost of Churches, Ministries, Christians and Ministers. There are also an increase in sins, atrocities and evil tendencies even in the house of God. Why is it so? Why are we degenerating too low like this? It's simply because we resorted to pleasing men rather than to please God. The Church has abandoned soul winning to wealth winning. People are calling themselves; lying that God calls them. Paul is lamenting over this in today's texts. He decries that men are preaching contrary gospels, counterfeit and conflicting teachings. Just to gather much members, people are bending the rules and the Gospel. Prosperity is good. But not when you twist the Gospel to uphold it. Think twice, ask yourself questions and retrace your footsteps before is too late. This is why our God calls us back in Isaiah 58:1-end to see the types of fasting and prayers He wants.
