Welcome to MFM Devotional, 16/12/22

PRAISE & WORSHIP:
HEAR THE FOOTSTEP OF JESUS

1. Hear the footsteps of Jesus,
He is now passing by,
Bearing balm for the wounded,
Healing all who apply;
As He spake to the suff’rer
Who lay at the pool,
He is saying this moment,
Wilt thou be made whole?

Refrain
Wilt thou be made whole?
Wilt thou be made whole?
O come, weary suff’rer,
O come, sin-sick soul;
See the life-stream is flowing,
See the cleansing waves roll,
Step into the current and thou shalt be whole.

2. ’Tis the voice of that Savior,
Whose merciful call
Freely offers salvation
To one and to all;
He is now beck’ning to Him
Each sin-tainted soul,
And lovingly asking,
Wilt thou be made whole? [Refrain]

3. Are you halting and struggling,
Overpowr’d by your sin,
While the waters are troubled
Can you not enter in?
Lo, the Savior stands waiting
To strengthen your soul;
He is earnestly pleading,
Wilt thou be made whole? [Refrain]

4. Blessèd Savior, assist us
To rest on Thy Word;
Let the soul healing power
On us now be outpoured;
Wash away every sin-spot,
Take perfect control,
Say to each trusting spirit,
Thy faith makes thee whole. [Refrain]

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Malachi 2:17, Malachi 3, Malachi 4, Revelation 7, Psalm 144:1-8

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 15:36-40 (KJV)
36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.

37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

MEMORY VERSE:
“An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.” – Proverbs 29:22

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Where anger reigns, disunity will also reign.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 16/12/22:
I DECREE TOTAL DESTRUCTION TO THE POWERS ASSIGNED TO TEAR OUR FAMILIES AND NATION APART, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

FRI 16 DEC MESSAGE:
Today, we will further examine the causes of disunity in various institutions and strata of the society. My prayer is that God will establish unity among the saints and His purpose for mankind will be fully achieved, in the name of Jesus.

Bitterness is another root cause of disunity. Bitterness defiles and God warns all believers against giving it any room in their lives. Hebrews 12:15 says, “Lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” The gall of bitterness is destructive and divisive. It filled King Saul’s heart and he pursued David for years, bent on killing the young man, but God did not allow it.

Dear reader, avoid bitterness at all cost. Anger and quick temper also leads to disunity. Proverbs 29:22 says, “An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.” There are many Christians that are still struggling with uncontrollable temper. They are poor learners. It was anger that ruined the illustrious career and ministry of Moses. Where anger reigns, disunity will also reigns. You must pray anger out of your life so that you can be God’s agent of peace.

The habit of repeating things we know we shouldn’t cause disunity. Why do you have to open a wound that is healing? Proverbs 17:9 says that he that repeateth a matter separates friends. Closely related to this is the fact that talebearers are enemies of unity. You should avoid them. The Bible says that where there is no tale bearer, the strife will cease (Proverbs 26:20).

Finally, the inability to stop arguing gives birth to disunity. That is why the Bible counsels us that the beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water and that we should leave off contention. Proverbs 20:3 also says that it is an honour to cease from strife. Dearly beloved, avoid unnecessary argument, contention and strife. Let unity, love and peace reign. When there is disunity, people will not be able to work together (Amos 3:3). Acts 15:36-40 proves this between Paul and Barnabas. This can destroy the work of God. Let us avoid disunity.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1.Contention and strife assigned to tear the brethren apart, die, in the name of Jesus.

2. Powers assigned to hinder believers from working together, die, in the name of Jesus.

3. The grace to cease from strife, fall upon all believers, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

1. Spirit of friendship and togetherness, reign among believers and in the Church, in the name of Jesus.

2. I overcome the spirit of uncontrollable anger, in the name of Jesus.

3. Spirit of bitterness that defiles, I am not your candidate, die, in the name of Jesus.

4. O God, arise and let every enemy of peace and unity in my nation scatter, in the name of Jesus.
