DAILY SHOWER July 30, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The superiority of love
Text: Romans 13:8-14 (NIV):
"13:8. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.
13:9. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
13:10. Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
13:11. And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
13:12. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13:13. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
13:14. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Yesterday, we reflected on why we must confess our sins and move ahead. Today, we shall look at the Superiority of love. Love is one of the most pronounced word on daily basis. But many don't actually understand what it is all about or how to love. Today, God wants us to understand how and why to love. He says in verse 8 and 9 that we must love because it is a debt we owe one another, the debt we owe God, and only way we can fulfill the laws (ten commandments, constitutions of the world, nations, organisations). Yes. It is only when you love your neighbour that you will give to him what is due to him or not, etc. It continues in verse 10, then in verse 11, it reminds us about our salvation, and the reasons to be light in verse 12. On 13 and 14, He told us to flee from sins of immortality, drunkenness and others. Embrace Jesus today and shine forth.
PRAYER/DECLARATIONS
1. O God, I believe in You. I will keep pushing to love and become an ambassador of love of God. Rekindle Your light of love in me.
2. The light of God is in me. He has set on fire every darkness in me and around me, and matches me forward to attain the crown of purity and prosperity in Jesus name, Amen.
3. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, July 2022 shall not end without manifestations of all the God's glory to me. I will not end with the month of July, rather I will see, live and enjoy the greater part of August and beyond in Jesus name, Amen!!!
