DAILY SHOWER June 22, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, I trust in You. Help me to know You more as I study Your word today in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The demons submitted
Text: Luke 9: 37- (NIV):
"9:37. The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.9:38. A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.
9:39. A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.9:40. I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not."
9:41. "O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here."
9:42. Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
9:43. And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples."
SHOWER (Reflection):
When the demons met our Lord Jesus, they trembled and submitted themselves immediately. But why couldn't the disciples chase away the evil spirits too? It takes the grace of God for one to do certain things very well. If only you can trust Him, follow Him diligently and honourably, you will be able to command demons and they obey you too. Because our bodies are God's temple. Again, we are His children. Therefore, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
