Your Devotional message for 5th January 2023
Scripture:
Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (Luke 4:1).
Explanation:
All the great works of God are carried out by the Holy Spirit. The counsel of the Lord is by the Holy Spirit. As we begin the New Year, there is something crucial for many Christians to do by committing your written plans unto God for 2023. This is good by asking God for His counsel concerning those plans. There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand (Proverbs 19:21). The Holy Spirit gives us the counsel about the Promises of God, His plans, guidance, direction, instruction, and enlightenment. Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (Luke 4:1).
I pray for you that in this year the Lord shall bring to you favour, mercy, blessing, success, and progress in the name of Jesus.
In today Daily Meditation, day 05 of the 31 days of the month of December, we will study and meditate on the scriptures relating to our new series ‘The counsel of the Lord’
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God (Romans 8:14).
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you (John 14:26).
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations (Psalm 33:11).
Here are further scriptures:
Plans are established by counsel; By wise counsel wage war (Proverbs 20:18).
As we journey through the month of January 2023, I pray for you that you may be victorious no matter what come your way. I pray that His mercy and grace will preserve you and keep you in the name of Jesus. You will walk in the counsel of the Lord for your life. Glory be to God.
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?
Today, let me encourage you that Jesus Christ came for your salvation and to give you freely Eternal life. If you are yet to receive Christ, do so today by repentance from all your sins and confess Jesus Christ as Your Lord and saviour.
Glory be to God!
We would love you to stay connected as we will study and meditate on ‘The Counsel of the Lord’ throughout the month of January 2023.
Faith Confession of the Month:
Thanks be to God for my salvation, divine health, grace, glory, provision, protection, eternal life, healings, and supernatural ability at work in me. I operate in the Higher dimension of the Spirit and Power of God. I am more than a conqueror every day of my life. I function in the Powerful name of Jesus with great grace and Mighty Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles, signs, and wonders. Infirmity in my body be scattered and be destroyed by Fire. I cast you out. Behold, I take authority over serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). Prosperity is mine.
This month Our God, the Great Counsellor shall manifest His glory in your life in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
