DAILY SHOWER February 11, 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: Prayer is the antidote
Text: James 5:12- 16 (NIV):
"5:12. Above all, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.
5:13. Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
5:14. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
5:15. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
5:16. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
SHOWER (Reflection):
Brethren, we have cried unto men alot. We have cried to the government, gods and offices yet no solution to our prayers. This is the right and perfect time for us to seek the face of God. Today's reading is encouraging us not to allow ourselves to be subjected to oath taking and complaints when our Lord Jesus is able and available to listen to us. Like Matthew 7:7, is also telling us to pray with faith, and the sick shall be healed, those in want will receive abundantly, and so on. Elijah prayed and rain ceased. Hannah prayed and received her child. We must seek the face of God and be uplifted in Jesus name, Amen.
