DAILY SHOWER January 26, 2023 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, I thank You for yet another day. I magnify Your name because You are my God and all I have. Please, use me according to Your will and prosper me in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Now you're Born-Again
Text: Galatians 5:15-24 (NIV):
5:15. But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased
1:16. to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man,
1:17. nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
1:18. Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter and stayed with him fifteen days.
1:19. I saw none of the other apostles--only James, the Lord's brother.
1:20. I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.
1:21. Later I went to Syria and Cilicia.
1:22. I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
1:23. They only heard the report: "The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."
1:24. And they praised God because of me.
SHOWER (Reflection):
You made a great choice to choose Christ as your personal lord and saviour. It pays to serve God. Bible says in John 3:3 that no one can see God unless such a person is born again. This is why we should consider this interesting topic- now you are born again. It is a phrase you can turn to a sentence by saying 'now you're born again what next' or ''what impact has your been born again made on people!" Yes! That is the better of it today. Since you accepted Christ what contributions have you made in the lives of others? How do you now relate or have related to others? What can people say about you without knowing you physically? Apostle Paul said in verses 22 to 23 of today's teaching that Christians at Judea only heard that he has become born again yet they praised God about him. That is what your life should be this year. Don't go on behaving same way, avoiding or forming another clique. You should rather allow your light shine on all around you irrespective of them been born again or not. Let that light win more for God!!!
