DAILY SHOWER October 3, 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: Divine Encounter
Text: Acts 16:16-19 (NIV):
"16:16. Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling.
16:17. This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved."
16:18. She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!" At that moment the spirit left her.
16:19. When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities."
SHOWER (Reflection):
God is divine. When you encounter Him, things will change in your life for good. A fortune teller or girl possessed with evil spirit, was used here for money making purposes. Her story, however, changed on the day she met Jesus through the disciples. She was set free. Her masters were thrown into confusion. Today, God will do more than that for us individually and collectively in Jesus name, Amen.
