DAILY SHOWER July 1, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, I thank You for a new month. Please, help me to grow and prosper beyond the human reach this month in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The present from the supposed enemy
Text: Jeremiah 40:1-6 (NIV):
"40:1. The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard had released him at Ramah. He had found Jeremiah bound in chains among all the captives from Jerusalem and Judah who were being carried into exile to Babylon.
40:2. When the commander of the guard found Jeremiah, he said to him, "The LORD your God decreed this disaster for this place.
40:3. And now the LORD has brought it about; he has done just as he said he would. All this happened because you people sinned against the LORD and did not obey him.
40:4. But today I am freeing you from the chains on your wrists. Come with me to Babylon, if you like, and I will look after you; but if you do not want to, then don't come. Look, the whole country lies before you; go wherever you please."
40:5. However, before Jeremiah turned to go, Nebuzaradan added, "Go back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the towns of Judah, and live with him among the people, or go anywhere else you please." Then the commander gave him provisions and a present and let him go.
40:6. So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah and stayed with him among the people who were left behind in the land."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Welcome to a new month, dearest. We are happy and must appreciate our God for making it possible for us to crossover to this month of July...the month of decision. This is seven month of the year. I trust you are living up to your dream. Brethren, our today's scripture is also telling us that a day has come when our enemies will set us free with presents. If you're in captives before now, cheer up. God will set you free this month. And He will make your supposed enemies to return all they owe you with additions in Jesus name, Amen.
