DAILY SHOWER August 25, 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: Repentance opens door
Text: Acts 2:29-39 (NIV):
"2:29. "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
2:30. But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
2:31. Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
2:32. God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
2:33. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
2:34. For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
2:35. until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." '
2:36. "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
2:37. When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
2:38. Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
2:39. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."
SHOWER (Reflection):
God works wonders to His lovely children. Peter, in this scripture, reeled out God's plan to the mankind, how His son Jesus Christ came and died for us and other good things. And they were marvelled. Hence, they asked him what is the solution. He told them that it is repentance! Our Lord Jesus demands nothing but repentance from us. Once you allow Christ to rule over your life, you will see His powers, goodies and upliftment. Give Him a trial and get convinced.
