CHARISMA DAILY DEVOTIONAL
WEDNESDAY 8TH JULY 2020
THE WEDDING FEAST OF THE LAMB
Scriptural Reading: Rev 19:7-9
Jesus gave us eternal life. The fullness of this eternal life shall be experienced in heaven. The Lord invites us to eternal life with him. We shall be to the lamb like a wife is to the husband. But to partake in this wedding feast, we must be dressed in clean white garments. The righteousness of the saints is that white garment; the wedding garment. In order to avoid eternal embarrassment; in order not to be disqualified on the last day, we must put on the garment of righteousness.
God calls on us to live a holy life if we must live with him forever. We are required to be ready for the groom since we do not know when he will return. The parable of the wise and foolish virgins should make us realize why we, as brides, must be ready for the groom always. Let's live our lives daily as if it is the only day we have left on earth. Be conscious in every circumstance that Jesus is coming soon.
MEDITATION:
Am I clothed in righteousness?

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.
