LEAVE THE CROWD BEHIND

TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: SATURDAY, 27 AUGUST 2022

One of the most difficult things we must deal with in life if we want to lead a great life while fulfilling our destinies is dealing with the crowd mentality. We all have a crowd. It maybe crowd in our neighborhood, crowd in our places of work, or the crowd in our friendships. Whichever, it’s applied to, but the truth is, we all have our own little crowd. So, today we shall be looking at how to deal with the crowd mentality to maximally accomplish our purposes both in life and destiny.

SCRIPTURE: After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, (Matthew 14:23 BSB)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: So, beloved, there are certain levels and dimensions of increase in life you will never get to unless you leave the crowd behind. God would always want to speak to you and take you to places. But there are sure places the crowd won’t go with you. And God wants to speak to you personally. So, it makes more sense for you sometimes to excuse yourself and go to God in the quiet. That was the character of our Lord and Master Jesus. The Scripture recorded that even when great crowd followed Him, “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Luke 5:16). So, I counsel you, leave whatever that’s crowd to you and always find time to be with the Lord alone. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: There are certain revelation God would not divulge to you when you’re with the crowd.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, deliberately learn to find time to be with the Lord as often as possible.

PRAYER: O LORD, draw me closer to You and cause me to remain in You, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)

PROPHETIC WORD: As you seek the Lord in the solitary, may He announce you in the open, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: Matt 14:23, Lk 5:16, Mk 1:35
