DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES MONDAY 24 MAY 2021.
Topic: No Regrets.
Today’s Scripture: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians chapter 1 verse 10, (NIV). NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION.
Message: I read a report from a nurse who takes care of people who are close to death. She asked hundreds of patients in the last twelve weeks of their life what their biggest regret was. The number one regret reported was, “I wish I had been true to who I was and not just lived to meet the expectations of others.” How many people today are not being true to who God created them to be? Is it simply because they are afraid they’re going to disappoint somebody? They’re afraid they may fall out of someone else’s good grace. They worry about not being accepted into a certain group. I say this respectfully, but you cannot live trying to be who your parents want you to be, or who your boss wants you to be, or who your friends want you to be. You’ve got to stay true to who God has called you to be.
Today, make the decision to live life with no regrets. Surrender yourself wholeheartedly to who God created you to be. Let Him mold and shape your character. Let Him order your steps. As you submit your ways to Him, He will shine down on you, and you will live the fulfilled, abundant life He has prepared for you!
Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for loving me and accepting me just the way I am. It is my heart’s desire to know You and to be known by You. Help me to live the life You’ve called me to and be faithful to You always in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: People pleasers often act the way they do because of their insecurities and lack of self-esteem. If this is you, stop it! You shall receive ability to establish your values, set your boundaries and stop being a people pleaser. You shall be able to take control of your own life and be set free from seeking other people’s validation. You shall no longer live life of regret. Grace to appreciate who God created you to be is given to you in Jesus mighty name. 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.
