DEVOTIONLESS

(Devotion is classified as:

1. dedication; consecration.
2. earnest attachment to a cause, person etc.
3. religious observance or worship; a form of prayer or worship for special use.)
(Less: means “without.”  It indicates failure or inability to perform or be performed)

(Luke 18:14) “Everyone who exalts himself will be abased (lowered), and he who humbles himself will be exalted (elevated as in rank or character).

“Anyone who lacks wisdom, “you should pray to God, who will give it to you” (James 1:5).  For wisdom is what it takes for a person’s devotion to be upheld in a moral code of life’s agendas for worthiness in any such way to be established in that person’s devotion to the Lord, or in service to Him through the work they do for their employer, as well as the devotion primarily which begins in the family life, through loving parents showing a true devotion for themselves and for their children.
 
We come away from that devotion in times of disruptive anger, threatenings, and the  like, which tears family relationships apart from the goal of one-some and  unity among the family members.  I invite you all now to repent out loud -

*”Lord Jesus you were extricated (disengaged from combination) from your family – mankind – which you created for a loving relationship, to have for one another in loving you.

Lord Jesus in the disruption of allowing you to be crucified by the people, whom you came from heaven to be with especially the Jews and all other nations who believed in you, not for the good works you did, but abhorred the very thought that you could be the Son of God, who crucified you believing not in you but in their own principles and ideals of what God’s Son, the Messiah would look like were dismayed and protruded (projected) from their faith to God Almighty, the El Shaddai of their Jewish faith from Abraham’s seed, to be catapulted into sheer “devotionless” to God Almighty – the God of Abraham – El Shaddai’s provision of His Son Jesus being ridiculed, for even imagining that He could send a Son like Jesus to represent Him.

The people lost all their devotion to you Lord Jesus, when they exalted a robber Barabbas in your place, to set him free instead of you and honouring God in your  representation of Him.

We have all sinned against you too Lord Jesus in many ways when we have betrayed one another’s trust, whether it has been from our family years growing up with the family unit, or in our own times of losing friendships and broken relationships, when one has turned against us without remorse for their “devotionless” actions towards and against us.

Lord Jesus, we have inherited curses of “devotionless” through our loss of relationship in our family unit from the beginning of your creation of Adam and Eve and in their sin they committed against you, by believing the lies of Satan against you Father God – the curses they laid upon those after them is “devotionless."

This curse has oppressed generations upon generations through the original sin of our forebears Adam and Eve throughout mankind’s history, to default all of man’s true devotion towards God and as the Scripture tells us in (Deuteronomy 5:8-10) “Do not make for yourself images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth.  Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, for I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals.  I bring punishment on those who hate Me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation.”

Punishment is what gets our attention dear Lord Jesus, for when things are going well our attention has not been focused on you at all, until all our own attempts to resolve problems have been exhausted.

Lord Jesus, by dying on that cross at Calvary you defeated death and have brought life back into the world through your shed blood’s cleansing power which washes all our sins away through our repentance.  (Acts 16:33) tells how Paul and Silas were imprisoned for believing on the Lord Jesus, and in so doing were thrown into prison – but God!  For what Satan had intended for their harm God turned around for their good, in resulting with the jailer’s family believing in the apostle’s acclamation and were saved in Jesus’ name too, he and his household became believers and were baptized.

Lord Jesus this account tells us that you will prove us when our devotion is to you alone, and through the cross you have redeemed us from the curse and judgement of the sin through our forefathers and their sins of devotionless to you and amongst their family members and their relationships together.

Lord Jesus you also know about this division in your own family with your siblings.  Like you declared in (Mark 6:4) “Prophets are respected everywhere except in their own home town and by their relatives and their family.”

Jesus we now commit ourselves to you as a living sacrifice of worship and praising you as the Son of God, who through the Father’s love conquered evil once and for all through your shed blood atoning  for our sins on the cross of salvation, for our carnal and generational curses afflicted upon us through the generational bloodline curses of “devotionless.”

Lord Jesus I am now repenting on behalf of myself and all my siblings and their families, and my own (if married – name all your family members), of all our sins including the generational bloodline curses of “devotionless.”  I cast all of those sins upon you now Jesus, and I ask for your forgiveness and redemption from all our sins of “devotionless” to be eradicated from our family’s lines, and to be washed in your precious blood Jesus, cleaned from all the oppressions we have endured through disunity and dysfunctioning  family units leading to breakups and loveless relationships amongst us of the - (name your family name and members),  (if single – name your family’s surname and each member of the family), we renounce Satan and all his works of deception in “devotionless “ attacks on God’s creation of His family units.  We now renounce all of “devotionless” inhabitation within our families from time past and accept you Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, who through your sinless nature and obedience, loyalty and devotion to the Father, you were able to deliver us from the curse of “devotionless” into your ways, your truth, and your life displayed and continued throughout  our lives as believers, to receive your gift of true devotion in our families  now and forevermore, Amen!  So be it Lord Jesus do it, and I draw the bloodline  of Jesus over the whole lot, Amen!”
