DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES MONDAY 29 MARCH 2021
Topic: Get Filled Up!
Today’s Scripture: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6, (NIV)
Message: Sometimes, it’s easy to get wrapped up in taking care of the people around us. This is more so for pastors, who are busy 24/7 attending to the spiritual and other needs of people. Yours may be helping people spiritually by preaching sermons and giving counselling to many people daily. Taking care of the children, working overtime at the office, or helping that friend who is struggling. And that’s all good. But if you’re not careful, you can end up feeling rundown. That’s why you have to take time every day to get filled back up. Your first priority should be taking care of yourself, and making time to get into the presence of Jesus. Throughout the scripture, we see that in God’s presence there is fullness of joy, fullness of peace, and fullness of victory. In His presence, you’re refreshed and restored. That’s why it’s so important to take time every day to read your Bible and meditate on His promises. We have to be diligent to have that quiet time with Him.
Today, take time to get alone with God and just say, “God, I love You today. Thank You for my life, for my family, for the opportunities You’ve given me. Lord, I know every good thing comes from You.” When you live like that, with your heart connected to His, you’ll be refreshed, restored, reenergised and filled up for the journey of life!
Prayer for Today: Father, thank you for filling me with Your strength. Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus, so that I can be righteous in You. I hunger for Your truth and seek You first. Draw me to You and keep me close to You always in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us a golden rule which He called “The Greatest Commandment”. It’s stated in the book of Mark chapter 12 verses 30 to 31. It says: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Here, Jesus is asking you to put love of God first. Whereas, in the name of being busy for the Lord, some pastors and other Christians go into gross carelessness and act of stupidity to ignore adequate rest and quality time of being alone with God. It’s important to pay good attention to one’s spiritual and physical health care. Wisdom with strong determination to put all these into consideration is released unto you. You shall not die untimely death through carelessness in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
