There Shall Be No Loss

Wednesday 13 June
READ: Acts 17: 13 – 22
MORE LESSON: Psalm 121: 1 - 8

Paul was with some people who had taken him prisoner and were leading him to Rome. Then arose a real pandemonium of a storm on the Great Sea that overwhelmed the ship and almost sank it. It got so bad that the sailors threw their belongings into the sea so as to lighten up the ship and keep it afloat. The storm lasted for 14 days and no one ate any food nor saw the sun for days. It was in the midst of this apparent hopelessness that the Word of the Lord came forth, …Fear not…God hath given thee all them that sail with thee: Acts 27: 24. This means that there would be no loss or harm to Paul and, because of him God had also decided to secure the soul of everyone in that ship. Be it known to you as well that however gloomy the situation around you looks, there shall be no loss. Peradventure, the ship of your destiny is threatened and you are faced with a raging storm, there is good news for you: there shall be no loss.
It was the presence of Paul in the ship that provided a covenant of security for everyone else in the ship. Even though they had only a temporary association with Paul just for the duration of the journey, that association gave a cover over every one in that ship. This means that whenever you travel by road, air or sea, everyone in that vehicle automatically becomes preserved because of you. It also means that everyone living in the same environment with you begins to enjoy peace and safety because you are there. The cover of God's grace on your life through the Blood of Jesus is over you, everyone and everything around your vicinity. Indeed, you will not suffer any loss and there shall be no loss to anyone around you.
The word, ‘there shall be no loss’ is also applicable in your relationship to the Church. The cover of God over His Church extends to you as you wholeheartedly associate with the house of God. There shall be no loss of any one who sails in the ship which is the Church. This is why one of the strategies of the enemy when he wants to destroy people is to isolate and estrange them from the Church. Please, do not trade the cover of grace over your life for anything. Come with us for the Lord has written good concerning us. And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel: Num. 10:29. As you stay glued to God and to His grace, you will never know loss, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Declare that the cover of the Lord shall be upon you and your household.
* Declare that there shall be no loss in your year.
* Declare that God’s covenant of preservation shall be upon you.

TODAY’S PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, I decree an opening for me in the palace of my fulfillment this month and it shall not be shut, in the name of Jesus.
