METAMORPHOSIS DEVOTIONAL. (Excerpts from Devotionalbox-a daily devotional by Dr. Isaiah and Lianna Wealth) 8th December,2014. TITLE: A GRATEFUL MAN REPENTS TEXT: Luke 19:8 “And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.” God’s love melts even the hardest of hearts. Not only does an encounter with Jesus melt the heart, it convicts. None who claims to have seen the hand of God in their lives continues in sin or uncleanness. The story of Zacchaeus emphasises this great truth. Many would have been taken by surprise by Zacchaeus’ instant repentance when he hosted Jesus, because no lengthy sermon was preached. But we see that in gratitude to Jesus’ love, Zacchaeus made a commitment to righteous living. Love is a potent tool in a soulwinner’s hand for bringing the lost to repentance. Glory to God! More so, for those who are saved, maintaining gratitude entails that you do not return to that which you were saved from. Only an ungrateful man returns to his sin just as a dog to its vomit (Prov. 26:11). Are you truly grateful for the mercy of God upon your life, resolve to keep your sanctification, daily consecrating yourself to the Living God. Praise God! * * * * * * * LIANNA PROPHESIES: I release on you grace for unwavering commitment to God today in Jesus name. * * * * * * * Action Points DO THIS: Consecrate yourself to God and make a commitment to Him, not to return to your past again. * * * * * * * SAY THIS: I decree and I declare that I am seated with Christ in heavenly places. * * * * * * * STUDY YOUR BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ZECHARIAH 8, ACTS 24, PSALMS 11 * * * * * * * CHRISTIAN MISSION FOCUS COUNTRY: Anguilla Anguilla is a small island with few people of over 15000.
