MFM 2024: OUR YEAR OF OPEN DOORS & DIVINE SPEED
MFM Topic, Fri 17 May 24: help when facing life’s battles
Welcome to MFM Devotional, 17 May 24
PRAISE & WORSHIP:
I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2
My heart has no desire to stay.
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
3
I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
4
I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezra 9, Ezra 10, Nehemiah 1, Luke 21, Luke 22
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 121:1-8
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
MEMORY VERSE:
Zechariah 4:7 – “Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.”
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
If you fail in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
FRI 17 MAY MESSAGE:
Job 14:1 says, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” Everyone faces adversity at one point or another in life. Troubles, problems, adversity or whatever name you may call it are the reasons why it is said that life is not easy. Everyone has where the shoe is pinching them.
The Bible does not leave us in the dark about this reality of life. However, in the Bible also, we find solutions to all life’s problems.
Isaiah 43:1-2 says, “But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee”.
All of life’s battles can be summarised under the following two categories: the water of affliction and the fire of affliction. The Scriptures in the foregoing says, when and not if you go through them. Therefore, whether it is the water of affliction or the fire of affliction that you are passing through, God says, He will be with you.
What matters most then is your attitude towards adversity. Sometime ago, I met a certain man who could not reason normally.
I asked what was wrong and he apologised and said, “Ah, adversity has affected my reasoning.” And he is a Christian. It shouldn’t be so because no matter what we are going through as Christians, God is able to make a way for us to manifest victoriously.
Therefore, face your adversity headlong knowing that God is on your side and victory is sure. Psalm 50:15 says, “And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.”
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. O God, arise and disgrace my stubborn pursuers, in the name of Jesus.
2. Every Pharaoh of my father’s house, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Any power working against my peace and progress, die, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
4. Every enemy that has vowed to keep me in bondage, die, in the name of Jesus.
5. Battles assigned to frustrate me, die, in the name of Jesus.
6. Any power making life difficult for me, die, in the name of Jesus.
7. Powers making me to weep, woe to you, in the name of Jesus.
