Revelation of the Word:

THEME: INIQUITY 

John 10:10-11 NIV

”The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.“

INSIGHT

–Temptations come to distract, dissuade and draw us away from the will of God. Everyone is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed, and when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and when sin is full-grown, it brings forth death (James 1:14-15). Iniquity gives birth to death and allows room for the devil to kill, steal and destroy. God is faithful and does not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able, but with the temptation He makes the way of escape, that we may be able to bear it (1 Corinthians 10:13). After He had fasted and prayed, Jesus was tempted by the devil but He overcame. At the end of the temptations, the devil departed from Him until an opportune time (Luke 4:13). Jesus is the Author of life and He makes our lives complete. He is our Good Shepherd and gives us abundant life and life everlasting by His grace. 

PRAYER 

Lord Jesus You are Faithful, You remain Faithful even when we become faithless, we worship You Lord God Almighty. We thank You for enabling us to see this new month knowing that there are many who have passed on before us. We give You all the glory and praise. We ask You to open all the gates of February for us to gain favor and grace before You dear Lord Jesus. May You deliver us from evil and temptation, and grant us victory in every sphere of our lives. We love You oh Lord for You are our Good Shepherd. We thank You for laying Your life down for us even when we did not deserve it. You are so good and wonderful to us. Thank You Jesus for laying Your life for us and making our lives complete. Oh all we bless Your name. Dear Lord Jesus, we humbly repent from all the sins we have committed, may You forgive us and sanctify us by Your precious blood. May You purify us and blot out all our transgressions in our lives oh Lord. Today we pray for all who don’t know You that You may allow them to enter through Your Door of salvation. Father You are the one who restores, may You restore us all and everything that we have lost. We pray all these knowing You are our Faithful Father, and You are able and You have already done it. We thank You Lord and pray this in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
