DAILY SHOWER December 27, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Save yourself
Text: Matthew 3:1-9 (NIV):
"3:1. Those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea
3:2. and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."
3:3. This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'"
3:4. John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
3:5. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan.
3:6. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
3:7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
3:8. Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
3:9. And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Welcome, brethren. I trust you are enjoying the season and the reason for the season. We are been exposed to another reason to be careful in life. You don't need to live anyhow or behave anyhow because you are celebrating Christ's glorious birth. It is a call for Salvation and to express gratitude to God. Today's teaching is teaching us to understand that our presents cannot save us. No matter how much they love you, cherish, pray for you and do all kinds things for your survival. You must stand your ground to water the ground. The grace of your parents can fade any moment. But that which you built in Christ Jesus stands forever. Jesus will deal with you directly when you seek Him diligently.
