DAILY SHOWER April 27, 2023 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Principle of mentorship
Text: 2 Timothy 1:7-14 (NIV):
"1:7. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
1:8. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,
1:9. who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
1:10. but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
1:11. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher.
1:12. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.
1:13. What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
1:14. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you--guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Paul kept on relating with his son, Timothy, encouraging him to keep following the messages he heard, the footsteps of his mother and to always testify of God's goodness in his dear life. This is what is called mentorship! Legacy! The lessons from this passage are many. First, we must learn from the mistakes and good footsteps of our parents. Learn also from your church leaders or mentors and move on to testify of God's goodness. You must become someone else mentor. But your character must change to effect positive changes into your mentes. Let's this guide you to build your faith in God so you won't miss heaven at last.
PRAYER/DECLARATIONS
1. O God, my father, empower me to become a good mentor who with his mentes will all make heaven at last, in Jesus name, Amen.
2. By the power in the blood of Jesus Christ, I will never be a disappointment to my generation and generations to come. Any attempt by the devil to turn me into one, die...in Jesus name, Amen
3. O God arise and rewind the hand of clock for my blessings to begin to manifest now in Jesus name, Amen.
