DAILY SHOWER February 5, 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: Be discovered and uplifted
Text: Luke 13:10-16 (NIV):
"13:10. On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
13:11. and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.
13:12. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity."
13:13. Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
13:14. Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, "There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath."
13:15. The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?
13:16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?"
SHOWER (Reflection):
In verse 12 of today's reading, Jesus discovered or found a crippled woman who had been there for eighteen years. Just mark it "18 years." The woman might have been taken to many churches, babalawos, miracle centres, etc but to no avail. She was probably abandoned by her children, parents, siblings, landlords or relatives to die at a spot. However, our Lord Jesus Christ found her one day and that changed her story from sorrow to joy. That is to say that one day, just one day, one minute or a second, your story will be changed for good. Today, Jesus Christ will find you and heal your diseases in Jesus name, Amen. It does not matter how many years you have been poor, sick, lack or troubled. Once He discovers you, you will be made free. Child of God, do not be discouraged over the happenings around you. Keep on praying! Seek His face more. His will over your life shall surely be fulfilled in Jesus name, Amen.
