DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES SUNDAY 09 MAY 2021.
Topic: The Only Thing That Counts.
Today’s Scripture: “…The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” Galatians chapter 5 verse 6, (NIV). NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION.
Message: So often, it’s easy to get caught up in our to-do lists of life. You might even have a spiritual checklist, so to speak, of all the things you think you need to do in order to please God. And we should have the desire to please Him and follow His commands, but pleasing Him starts with our heart condition.
Scripture tells us in First Corinthians that only faith, hope and love will last into eternity. The point is that we have to adjust our focus and make sure that we aren’t just going through the motions in our spiritual walk. We can do a lot of “good” things, but if we don’t have love, they won’t matter in eternity. We can have a lot of knowledge, but if we don’t have love, it won’t do us any good. When love is the foundation for everything we do, it’s a different story. Love honours God and opens the door for the life of victory and blessing He has in store!
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You for Your blessing and peace on my life. Today, I choose love, knowing that it fuels my faith. I don’t want to go through the motions; I want to love the way You love me. Show me ways to grow in love as I keep my heart and mind fixed on You in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: This is where it all started, if you whole heartedly love God, you will have faith in Him. In the letter of Apostle Paul, First Corinthians chapter 13 verse 3, (NIV), Paul stated that: “If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing”. From today, you shall receive heart to love and honour God, and this shall open the door of God’s favour and mercy for your life. Victory and blessing that God has in store for you shall not elude you 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.
