SATURDAY 5TH MAY, 2018 MORNING PRAYER DEVOTION
SCRIPTURE READING:– LUKE 7:11-17
TOPIC:- STOP YOUR WEEPING
TEXT:- PHILIPPIANS 3:18
The dictionary meaning of weeping is an expression of grief, or any overwhelming emotion by shedding tears. It means to let fall drops of water or other liquid drip from the eyes.
Although there is weeping of joy, but what we are discussing here is weeping which correspond with the meaning above. Weeping is definitely not for our living, for it is the opposite of joy, Psalm 30:5.
Weeping is so fervent in the lives of its victim to the extent that a family can be wiped out. In view of that, it will make sure that perpetual weeping and destruction continues.
Weeping nearly destroyed an entire family and wanted the family to be remembered for weeping for ever. It killed the head of the family i.e. the husband, since the time we do not know. It even went ahead to make the widow to lose the only child in the family.
That is termed an everlasting and continuous grief and sorrow. If not because of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who always do good on daily basis, [Acts 10:38], met the woman and terminated her weeping by restoring her child back to life. I believe this widow would have died sooner if she had not met with Jesus. See Luke 7:11-17.
Prayer Points:–
1. I refuse to package myself before the Holy Spirit who knows me better, in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. Godly sorrow that worketh repentance, come upon me now by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. O Lord God, turn my sorrow, tears, weeping to weeping of Joy, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Beautiful Saturday!
