Return to God and be saved

 DAILY SHOWER February 19, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _O merciful father, I have come before You with Thanksgiving. Forgive me and help me not to disappoint You today, in Christ Jesus, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Return to God and be saved

Text: Jeremiah 4:1-4 (AMP Bible)

“If you will return, O Israel,” says the Lord, “If you will return to Me, And if you will put away your detestable things and remove your man-made gods from My sight, And not stray or waver, And if you swear [your oaths], ‘As the Lord lives,’ In truth, in justice, and in righteousness, Then the nations will bless themselves in Him, And in Him they will glory.” For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Plow your uncultivated ground [for a season], And do not sow among thorns. “Circumcise (dedicate, sanctify) yourselves to the Lord And remove the foreskin [sins] of your heart, Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Or else My wrath will go forth like fire [consuming all that gets in its way] And burn and there will be no one to quench it, Because of the evil of your acts.”

*SHOWER:*

Where have you been to? The God, Almighty is calling on us to return to Him. You might have prayed for 'long' and when the expected answer seemed not to be ready, you back out, and probably took to idolatry? God is calling for your return. He is able to forgive, embrace and take us higher if we agree to return. Don't wait for tomorrow. It may be dangerous. The time is now. 

*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*

O God I thank You for today's scriptural and physical opportunities. Help me become 

*1. Anything from my father's or mother's foundation that wants to frustrates me out of my destined Paradise must die in Jesus name.*

*2. I'm child of God. I must return to my maker. Therefore, sins and the world's pleasure cannot push me away from Christ.

*3. I hereby decree and declare that I shall be prosperous in all I do. No man or woman, or circumstances can make me draw back or fail In Jesus name, Amen!*

Time to sanitize the temple of God

 DAILY SHOWER February 18, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _Father I thank You for Your loving kindness upon my life. Open my eyes to behold a new life in Your word today in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Time to sanitize the temple of God

Text: John 2:13-16 (AMP Bible)

"Now the Passover of the Jews was approaching, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And in the temple [enclosure] He found the people who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at their tables. He made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; then to those who sold the doves He said, “Take these things away! Stop making My Father’s house a place of commerce!”

*SHOWER:*

Sanitation is a regular or continues exercise aimed at keeping a place or thing clean, healthy and inhabitable. The Bible made us to understand that God loves clean environment or cleaningness is the next to Godliness.  The environment being  refers in today's texts is God's temple. Our body is number of this because Bible says our body is God's temple. That our body also signifies the Church. It's unlimited because it represent different things at different times. The second place is the physical Church building. How do you keep all these places clean? Our Lord Jesus Christ could not condone it. He could not resist the urge for safety. That was why He had to drive away the uncleaned, illegality and filthy in His father's house when HE walked in to behold the ugly sin. However, today we allowed or apply all kinds of things to our life in the name of fashion, civilization or lifestyle. Who are you still waiting for to come and sanitize your hearth, beauty and physique? What are you waiting for to push away the commercialisation of testimonies and other activities in our physical Churches? You can be the change we desire. Move on to make a new change now. " 

*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*

O God I honour You for enriching my soul and spirit today in Jesus name, Amen.

*1. I am living by His anointing. I hereby declare myself clean in the soul and the spirit.*

*2. God has sanitize me. There is nothing that can make me filthy again.*

*3. I hereby decree and declare that I shall be prosperous in all I do. No man or circumstances can make me draw back or fail In Jesus name, Amen!*

Prayer before the Word: 

 _Father, I thank You for bringing me into a new day. Please, guide me to study and follow the dictate of Your word in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: The consequences of sin

Text: Genesis 4:9-14 (AMP Bible)

"Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he [lied and] said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” The Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s [innocent] blood is crying out to Me from the ground [for justice]. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s [shed] blood from your hand. When you cultivate the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength [it will resist producing good crops] for you; you shall be a fugitive and a vagabond [roaming aimlessly] on the earth [in perpetual exile without a home, a degraded outcast].” Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, You have driven me out this day from the face of the land; and from Your face (presence) I will be hidden, and I will be a fugitive and an [aimless] vagabond on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

*SHOWER:*

Story of Cain and Abel is not new to us. It is usually taught from the kindergarten to tertiary institutions level. People have read it again and again. Sa anger iand jealous. As a result, mankind was exposed of their true nature, send packing from the heaven, and axlazb

Executing impossible tasks at supposed impossible situations

 DAILY SHOWER February 16, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _God be praised. God be adored. God be honoured forever. Inspire me to study and apply Your words accordingly in Jesus name, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Executing impossible tasks at supposed impossible situations

Text: Philippians 1:12-18 (AMP Bible)

"Now I want you to know, believers, that what has happened to me [this imprisonment that was meant to stop me] has actually served to advance [the spread of] the good news [regarding salvation]. My imprisonment in [the cause of] Christ has become common knowledge throughout the whole praetorian (imperial) guard and to everyone else. Because of my chains [seeing that I am doing well and that God is accomplishing great things], most of the brothers have renewed confidence in the Lord, and have far more courage to speak the word of God [concerning salvation] without fear [of the consequences, seeing that God can work His good in all circumstances]. Some, it is true, are [actually] preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry [toward me—for no better reason than a competitive spirit or misguided ambition], but others out of goodwill and a loyal spirit [toward me]. The latter [preach Christ] out of love, because they know that I have been put here [by God on purpose] for the defense of the gospel; but the former preach Christ [insincerely] out of selfish ambition [just self-promotion], thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. What then [does it matter]? So long as in every way, whether in pretense [for self-promotion] or in all honesty [to spread the truth], Christ is being preached; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice [later as well]."

*SHOWER:*

We are sometimes faced with difficult situations that can even make us to reject or forget God. But the truth remains that every situation exists with opportunities abd blessings. David found favour before God as a 'mere' shepherd. The exposure led him into conquering the Goliath, thereby becoming a king. Jonah, from belle of a fish, was forced to preach at Nineva. And many souls were won for God. What of Samson that killed more people at point of death? Today's text is an account of how Paul utilised his time of been in prison to preach the Gospel, and win more souls for Christ. What is that situation are you in that you cannot allow God to elevate you from for glorification of his name? Be wise and start now!!! 

*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*

O God I honour You for feeding my soul and spirit this morning. Your Grace I need to practicalise them in Jesus name, Amen.

*1. I am in God's prison. Therefore, I will always discover and utilise every opportunity I found myself in.*

*2. God has empowered me to conquer every fear, problems and prospects before me.*

*3. I hereby decree and declare that I am a child of favour and grace of God. So, never again shall I struggle to succeed In Jesus name, Amen!*

Confirmation by the evidence

 DAILY SHOWER February 15, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _O God, I adore and worship You this morning. Please forgive my sins, open my eyes to see, and ears to hear and abide by Your words today in Christ Jesus, Amen_ 

TODAY’S TOPIC: Confirmation by the evidence 

Text: John 1:29-34 (AMP Bible)

"The next day he (John) saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I and has priority over me, for He existed before me.’ I did not recognize Him [as the Messiah]; but I came baptizing in water so that He would be [publicly] revealed to Israel.” John gave [further] evidence [testifying officially for the record, with validity and relevance], saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. I did not recognize Him [as the Messiah], but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this One is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ I myself have [actually] seen [that happen], and my testimony is that this is the Son of God!”

*SHOWER:*

When John, the Baptist saw Jesus coming towards him, he proclaimed that this is surely the Son of God. He confirmed that He was (is) the Man whom he was sent to make ways for His coming by baptising through the water. I don't know where you're now or what you're passing through. If John can look inward to find out one thing he could use to confirm that truly 'He's the one" what's still stopping you from giving the same testimony? Look around you, remember your yesterday, compare it to today...you will surely see one or many things you can use to testify of His goodness in your life. At least the life He gave you is enough reason to worship Him always. 

*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*

I thank You great God for always feeding me physically and spiritually. Help me abide by Your words in Jesus name, Amen.

*1. God, Almighty Has instructed me. I must abide by His words in my life.*

*2. Therefore, I confess that nothing on Earth can stop me from knowing Him and abiding by His words.*

*3. I shall manifest the power of Holy Ghost in my life.*

*4. The God, Almighty shall see me grow from glory to glory.*

*5. I hereby decree and declare that as I encounter God today, everything about me must change for Good. In Jesus name, Amen!*

TODAY’S TOPIC: Ordained, Isolated for Impossible Mission 

Text: Jeremiah 1:5-8 (AMP Bible)

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument], And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own]; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, For I am [only] a young man.” But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am [only] a young man,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. “Do not be afraid of them [or their hostile faces], For I am with you [always] to protect you and deliver you,” says the Lord."

*SHOWER:*

Brethren, what is God sending you to do? What is that your talents you don't know how to harness? Are you afraid, discouraged or doubt how to march forward because of whatever that is happening around you? The God Almighty has taken over. He chose you even before you were conceived. He ordained you as His instrument for evangelism, service to humanity, etc. You only need to listen to Him. So, wake up now, take action. Sky is your starting point. 

*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*

O! merciful father, I thank You for speaking to me this morning. Kindly help me to follow Your instructions in Jesus name, Amen.

*1. God preordained and empowered me for greatness.*

*2. Therefore, I shall keep marching forward. Nothing created on Earth or existing in the spirit can stop me.*

*3. I shall grow from glory to glory. My family shall grow from glory to glory.*

*4. The wealth of the nations must come to me.*

*5. I hereby decree and declare that I shall invest or take off that journey, business or mission He sent me to embark on, and prosper in it Jesus name, Amen!*

Seeking the face of God

 DAILY SHOWER February 13, 2022 Devotion and Declarations

Prayer before the Word: 

 _Father, I thank You for today. I thank You for all You've done, doing and about doing in my life today. Please have Your way in my life as I study Your Word in Jesus name, Amen_ 

*TODAY’S TOPIC: Seeking the face of God*

Text: Luke 6:20-21 (AMP Bible)

"And looking toward His disciples, He began speaking: “Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are you who are poor [in spirit, those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant], for the kingdom of God is yours [both now and forever]. Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are you who hunger now [for righteousness, actively seeking right standing with God], for you will be [completely] satisfied. Blessed [forgiven, refreshed by God’s grace] are you who weep now [over your sins and repent], for you will laugh [when the burden of sin is lifted]."

*SHOWER:*

What do you do when you are seeking for something from a fellow man/woman? Yes u definitely must humble yourself, package and present yourself well before them so that you will be acceptable to them. So, it is required of us now in the presence of God. The poor in the spirit are those who acknowledge that they are sinners, the humane, the modest, etc. They are those who weep for the Kingdom sake, those who weep for the poor or for good of others, etc. They will surely laugh lasts later. 

*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*

O God, I have come to see and worship You. Help me to know You more, abide by Your words and reap the fruit tomorrow in Jesus name, Amen.

*1. I am servant of the most High God. I will never submit to evil.*

*2. I'm poor in the spirit. Therefore, I must be rich in heaven tomorrow.*

*3. I have secured a permanent home in heaven because God has said so.*

*4. I shall be a blessing to my generation in the morning, afternoon, evening and night.*

*5. I hereby decree and declare that I shall not again in Jesus name, Amen!*
