DAILY SHOWER July 2, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, I honour and adore You for making me to be living among the living today. Please, open my eyes to understand and work according to Your word in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Come back to God
Text: Lamentations 1:13-20 (NIV):
"1:13. Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.
1:14. Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.
1:15. Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
1:16. Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes--joy and gladness from the house of our God?
1:17. The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up.
1:18. How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
1:19. To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
1:20. Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the open pastures."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Good day. We trust you started the new month well with Lord. Good. Our God is seeking for our total repentance and submission to Him this month. This month may become a trying month to many. Different countries are in wars, same with families and organisations. Those who believed they are strong, the believers and all that, must come together to seek the face of God for a divine turnaround. Don't hesitate to do this. And you will see God's favour and upliftment upon you in Jesus name, Amen.
