CHARISMA DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SUNDAY 19TH JULY 2020

THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE  

Scriptural Reading: Matt. 7: 13-23

 

One of the days, while Jesus was teaching, a man walked up to Him and asked: "will many people be saved on the last day?” Jesus looked at him and simply answered 'try to enter through the narrow way". He further explained that the way that leads to life is narrow and that very few people find it. But broad is the way that leads to death and very many walk through it. Does the life you live today reflect the narrow way? God has no problems with our wealth, beauty, education, etc. If he does, he would not have created them in the first place. God has a problem with the way we use them and how much attention we give to them which replace the attention due to Him as God. Today, Jesus calls on us to walk through the narrow way. This is the way of self-denial, purity and consecration; whereas the broadway is the convenient way of worldliness, quest for materialism and comfort. Choose the narrow way today and enjoy life eternal.

 

MEDITATION:

On which way am I travelling?

 

STRATEGIC PRAYER POINTS:

1. Father, help me by your grace to deny myself, take up the cross and follow you

2. By the grace of God, I resist every satanic pull towards the broadway

3. Holy Spirit be my helper and guide unto righteousness in Jesus mighty name

4. Pray for the leaders of the Church for the grace of humility in service.

5. Pay now against the spread of coronavirus pandemic

6. Say the prayers to St. Michael and St. Jude in pages 101 and 103

7. Present your private intentions to God

8. Say your daily prophetic prayers

 

DAILY PROPHETIC PRAYERS

Oh Lord God of power and might we praise and thank you for your goodness and mercy in my life. I acknowledge that you are the only one true God and the Almighty who can do all things, who knows all things and who is everywhere at the same time.

I beseech you, Lord, to show me your mercy and forgiveness, I have sinned against you through my thoughts, words, and actions. Through your sacrificial death on the cross, I receive mercy and boldness to approach your throne of grace.

Let the precious blood of Jesus wash me and make me whiter than snow. Heal me oh Lord by your wounds that I may be restored.

I receive your Grace to rise above every limitation.

I receive your Grace to move from Glory to Glory. I proclaim my total freedom in the mighty name of Jesus.

I shall testify the goodness of God in the land of the living in the most powerful name of Jesus.

I shall not die but live to declare the goodness of God I shall not be put to shame for the Lord is by my side. I shall glorify the Lord all the days of my life.

 

PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL AGAINST THE FORCES BEHIND COVID - 19.

Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebukes him, we humbly pray, and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

 

WE PRAY WITH ST JUDE THE PATRON OF DIFFICULT CASES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS

O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, and things almost despaired of.

Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.

Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succour of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly...

(insert your prayer request here, especially  the menace of COVID - 19 Pandemic)

...and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.

I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
