Purity Foundation Daily Devotional Friday 11th July 2025  Topic: Divine Transformation 11 - Visitation 2 Text: Genesis 21:1-2 "And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” Reflection:  THE IMPACT OF DIVINE VISITATION • Delayed Promises Are Fulfilled (Genesis 18:10) When God visits, long-standing delays are broken, and promises are fulfilled. • Bondages Are Broken (Exodus 3:7-8) The Israelites were in slavery for 430 years, but when God visited them, they were set free. • The Impossible Becomes Possible (Luke 1:37) Divine visitation brings miracles beyond human understanding. • Divine Restoration Takes Place (Joel 2:25) Whatever has been lost or stolen is restored in the hour of divine visitation. • Biblical Example: The widow of Nain experienced divine visitation when Jesus raised her son from the dead (Luke 7:13-1...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Thursday 10th July 2025  Topic: Divine Transformation 10 - Visitation  Text: Genesis 21:1-2 "And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” Reflection:  Divine visitation is a supernatural intervention of God in the affairs of men. It is the moment when God steps into a situation and turns things around for His people. Throughout the Bible, we see instances where God visited individuals, families, and nations, bringing deliverance, healing, and restoration. When the hour of divine visitation comes, everything changes, a season of transformations.  UNDERSTANDING DIVINE VISITATION • The Purpose of Divine Visitation (Luke 1:68) God's visitation brings redemption, deliverance, and fulfilment of His promises. • Signs of Divine Visitation (Luke 19:44) God’s presence is tan...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Wednesday 9th July 2025  Text: Divine Transformation 9  Text: 1 John 3:3 "Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, and we can’t even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. And all who believe this will keep themselves pure, just as Christ is pure." Reflection:  Embracing the need for change, desiring the change, determining to submit to God as he makes the change. I want to focus our thoughts on what’s to come. Listen to these promises: "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." – 1 Corinthians 15:51-52   None of us will reach perfection in this life. Even Paul didn’t claim that for himself. We will all struggle, all...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Tuesday 8th July 2025 Topic: Divine Transformation 8 Text: 2 Corinthians 3:18  "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." Reflection:  Change is not free. But it’s worth it. I can guarantee that the cost of following Christ is insignificant compared to what you will gain. I can say with absolute certainty that obedience will always be worth whatever price we must pay. What did Paul say? "Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ." Philippians 3:8 Knowing Christ is worthy any cost. But still, there is a cost. And so you have a choice. You can stay just where you are, holding on to what you’ve known, even though it’s making you miserable, even though you...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Monday 7th July 2025  Topic: Divine Transformation 7  Text: John 5:1-9 "Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked."  Reflection:  This seems like a pretty ridiculous question. Of course he wanted to get well! He’d been crippled for thirty-eight long years! But as always, Jesus shows deep insight as he interacts with this man. Certainly, it was a great inconvenience to be crippled.  Unable to walk, to care for oneself, to earn a living. And yet, it was the only life this man knew. As an invalid, and probably therefore a beggar, he at least knew what was expected of him. He had a place in society. He had friends there at the pool. But once he was healed, his world would be completely changed. All the things which others had done for him he would now have to do for himself. He would have to leave the pool and his disabled friends, find ...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Friday 4th July 2025 Topic: Divine Transformation 4  Text: Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Reflection:  The verb tense here is passive, indicating that it’s something God does to us, yet it’s in the form of an imperative; a command, which means that it’s also something we do. "Be transformed." "Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." Philippians 2:12-13 Now, when we see the words "work" and "salvation" in the same sentence, warning lights start to flash, because we believe in salvation by grace, and not by works. Yet here Paul puts them together. Why? Well, let me explain. What he is not saying is that we need to earn forgiveness, or merit a right standing with God. Those things happen once for all when...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Thursday 3rd July 2025  Topic: Divine Transformation  Text: 2 Corinthians 4:16 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."  Reflection:  The changes God wants to make in our lives are good ones. We know that. Still, it’s human nature to be apprehensive about changes, even positive ones.  There may be things in your life that you readily admit are not as they should be. Perhaps a heart attitude of resentment and bitterness toward some person who wounded you. You know it’s wrong, but you can’t seem to get over it. Or maybe you’re experiencing some unhealthy fear and anxiety. Or it could be a tendency to anger and rage that you’d like to overcome. I’m sure each of us could name a dozen things we’d like to see changed in ourselves. The problem is that even when we recognize our need for change, we may still be reluctant to actually make the ...
