ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL⛪FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2022💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Today’s Theme: ⛪️ MY PEOPLE”And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people”Text: 2 Corinthians 6:16MESSAGE:💚What a sweet title? “My people!” What a cheering revelation? “Their God!” How much of meaning is attached in those two words? “My people!”. In 2 Chronicles 7: 14, when the Almighty wanted to show his mercy unto the generation of David, His beloved, with his sure mercies, after effected a glorious tabernacle to God through his son Solomon, He said, “If my people…” There is something about God’s People. God’s People are special people. They are peculiar people. They are Royal Priests. (1 Peter 2:9). In Isaiah 65: 22 the Lord says “…My People, and My elect shall long enjoy the works of their hands”. God’s people are the seed of the blessed of the lord. (Isaiah 65:23). God’s People are His elect.The whole world is God’s (Psalm 24;1); the heaven, even the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s, and he reigns among the children of men; but of those whom he hath chosen, whom he hath purchased to himself, he saith what he saith not of others, “My people.” In this word there is the idea of proprietorship. In a special manner “the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.” (Deut. 32:9)All the nations upon earth are his; the whole world is in his power; yet are his people, his chosen, more especially his possession; for he has done more for them than others; he has bought them with his blood; he has brought them nigh to himself; he has set his great heart upon them; he has loved them with an everlasting love, a love which many waters cannot quench, and which the revolutions of time shall never suffice in the least degree to diminish. Dear friends, can you, by faith, see yourselves in that number? Can you look up to heaven and say, “My Lord and my God (John 20:28): mine by that sweet relationship which entitles me to call thee Father; mine by that hallowed fellowship which I delight to hold with thee when thou art pleased to manifest thyself unto me as thou dost not unto the world?” Can you read the Book of life, and find there the indentures (legal agreement, contracts, or documents) of thy salvation? Can thou read thy title writ in precious blood? Can you, by humble faith, lay hold of Jesus’ garments, and say, “My Christ”? If you can, then God saith of thee, and of others like thee, “My people;” for, if God be your God, and Christ your Christ, the Lord has a special, peculiar favour to you; you are the object of his choice, accepted in His Beloved Son. And you will long enjoy the works of your hand by His divine providence (Isaiah 65: 22c). Hallelujah!PRAYERS♨️Heavenly Father, I thank you this day for the gift of life and for making me your beloved. Father, empower me in your beloved, even Jesus Christ and galvanized me in your love for bountiful harvest in Jesus mighty name, Amen.I am most grateful to you for giving me this golden opportunity to be among your people. In this, I can call you: My Father, My Father, the hope of your people, Israel, the source of my strength, the rejoicing of my heart and the essence of my life. Thank you, Father. Heavenly Father, whatsoever in this life, that wants to detach me from your beloved, I crush them by the blood of Jesus Christ. And I severe such contacts from my body, soul and spirit by the blood of the everlasting covenant, in Jesus mighty name, Amen. I decree that the arms of the Lord preserve me and my family forever in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.FURTHER BIBLE READING:John 1: 10-18BIBLE READING PLAN FOR THE YEAR, 2022MORNING: EXODUS, 22-23.
