ANGLICAN COMMUNION DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY.
The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 3rd October 2024 Is “The Blessed Man”
Read: Psalm 1: 1-6(NKJV)
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 3RD OCTOBER 2024.
In the African culture, the blessed man in the African culture is one with sons, daughters, cars, houses, lands, multiple thriving investments or has positions of power.
On the contrary, our text outlines the profile of the blessed man as follows:
1. One who does not obey the counsel of ungodly people.
2. Does not partner with sinners to do evil
3. Does not join or applaud those who mock people
4. Delights and meditates on the word of God, day and night.
The result of this lifestyle is an all-encompassing spiritual, material as well as generational fruitfulness and prosperity.
On the other hand, the ungodly man has no regard for God(vv.4-6). He neither obeys nor meditates on the word of God and the consequences are apparent destruction and separation from God. Today, we remember Bishop Ajayi Crowther, a slave boy who was later freed and became the first CMS African Bishop of West Africa.
God used him to evangelise some parts of this country and to translate the English bible into many Nigerian languages. His godly works and faith still speak in this generation. To be a blessed or an ungodly man is a choice which attracts blessings and consequences respectively. However, God does not desire the death of any man but that all should repent and be saved. Therefore, choose wisely and enjoy God’s blessings and prosperity.
PRAYER: Help me Lord to live like a blessed man so that my faith and works will speak beyondmy generation in Jesus name.
