Devotional: Fully Committed Day1

 Day 1: Called and Committed

Scripture: 1 Kings 19:15–16, 19–21

Focus: God's call demands a response.

Devotional Thought:
When Elisha is called by Elijah, he doesn’t hesitate. He burns his plow and slaughters his oxen—a dramatic way of saying, “I’m not going back.” That’s full commitment. God doesn’t call us to convenience; He calls us to commitment.

Reflection Questions:

• What plows do you need to burn in your life?
• Are you holding onto a “plan B” in case following Jesus gets too hard?

Challenge:
Identify one “backup plan” or security blanket that keeps you from trusting God fully. Write it down—and take one bold step this week to lay it down.

Prayer:
Lord, give me the courage to respond like Elisha—to follow You wholeheartedly, leaving behind what once defined me. Amen.

Devotional: Journey of Deliverance and Purpose Part 5

 Day 5: From Delivered to Commissioned

Scripture: Luke 8:39

“So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.”

Observation:
The man’s story didn’t end at healing—it launched a new mission. He became one of the first evangelists to the Gentiles, spreading hope to ten cities. Deliverance is the doorway to purpose.

Truth: Jesus doesn’t just save us—He sends us.

Challenge:
Have you embraced the mission that comes with your freedom? Who needs to hear what Jesus has done in your life?

Prayer:
Father, thank You for not only saving me but entrusting me with a purpose. Let my life be a testimony that shouts Your name.

Final Word:

Jesus delivers, Jesus transforms, and Jesus sends.
You are not just freed from something—you are freed for something. Go and tell.

 Day 4: Stay and Share

Scripture: Luke 8:38-39

“The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with Him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, ‘Return home and tell how much God has done for you.’”

Observation:
Jesus didn’t allow the man to follow Him. Instead, He sent him home with a purpose—to share his story. He turned a formerly broken man into a bold witness among people who once feared him.

Truth: You don’t need a stage to preach—your story is the sermon.

Challenge:
Is there a place or group of people where God is asking you to stay, speak up, and share what He’s done in your life?

Prayer:
Jesus, help me be willing to stay if that’s where You want me. Use my story to point others to Your goodness and power. Amen.

 Day 3: When Freedom Feels Uncomfortable

Scripture: Luke 8:35,37

“...they found the man... sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid... Then all the people of the region asked Jesus to leave them.”

Observation:
Instead of celebrating the miracle, the people became afraid and pushed Jesus away. They were more familiar with the man’s brokenness than his healing. Jesus disrupted their comfort zone.

Truth: True transformation challenges the status quo.

Challenge:
Are you ever afraid of the change Jesus might bring? Do you resist transformation in yourself—or in others—because it's unfamiliar?

Prayer:
Lord, help me not to fear what I don’t understand. Give me eyes to see the beauty in transformation—even when it stretches me. Amen.

 Day 2: Authority That Breaks Chains

Scripture: Luke 8:30-33

“Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’ ‘Legion,’ he replied, because many demons had gone into him.”

Observation:
Thousands of demons were powerless in the presence of Jesus. No shouting match, no struggle—just authority. The demons obeyed His command immediately. His authority wasn't just for show; it was for freedom.

Truth: Jesus doesn’t negotiate with darkness—He defeats it.

Challenge:
What has power over you right now—fear, addiction, lies, shame? Bring it before Jesus. Ask Him to speak with authority into that place.

Prayer:
Jesus, speak to the areas in me that feel out of control. Break every chain that keeps me from living free. Amen.
