DAILY SHOWER April 16 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: Gods blinded unbelievers
Text: 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 (NIV):
"4:1. Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.
4:2. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
4:3. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
4:4. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
4:5. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
4:6. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Welcome to yet another day in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Brethren, our God is still faithful to His promise and will remain same now and forever, Amen. Today's message is urging us to refrain from every act or behaviour that shows us as taken God's glory. It says we should preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by showing good example. No one should preach himself but God. Think, reflect to know if there are ways you are projecting yourself instead of God. This mounts to idolatry and gods of the world have blind folded unbelievers that they will never see the light. Let the light of God so shines on you!!!
