DAILY SHOWER October 17, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Have you been written-off?
Text: Mark 14:56-65 (NIV):
"14:56. Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
14:57. Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him:
14:58. "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this man-made temple and in three days will build another, not made by man.'"
14:59. Yet even then their testimony did not agree.
14:60. Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?"
14:61. But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
14:62. "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
14:63. The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked.
14:64. "You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death.
14:65. Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, "Prophesy!" And the guards took him and beat him."
SHOWER (Reflection):
The world hates those who love them. And love those who hate them. If you are facing rejection, dejection or hatred from the world, do not worry. Cheer-up and move on prayerfully and faith. There is nothing they will do you they have never done to Jesus before. They can say you blasphemed. Just stand your ground in truth; you're winner.
