DAILY SHOWER August 16, 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: Live a good life
Text: Ephesians 4:17-25 (NIV):
"4:17. So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
4:18. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.4:19. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
4:20. You, however, did not come to know Christ that way.
4:21. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
4:22. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
4:23. to be made new in the attitude of your minds;
4:24. and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
4:25. Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body."
SHOWER (Reflection):
It's always good to live a good life in purity and righteousness. When one is in Christ, he is a new creature and should allow His life to depict Christ. You will rejoice when you are free to meet Christ.
