WELCOME to MFM Devotional, 22/08/22

PRAISE & WORSHIP;

O God, Our Help In Ages Past

1 Our God, our Help in ages past,
our Hope for years to come,
our Shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal Home.

2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is Thine arm alone,
a our defense is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting Thou art God,
to endless years the same.

4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
are like an ev’ning gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.

5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op’ning day.

6 Our God, our Help in ages past,
our Hope for years to come,
be Thou our Guide while life shall last,
and our eternal Home!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 16, 2 Chronicles 17, 2 Chronicles 18:1-27, 1 Corinthians 15:1-34, Psalm 102:1-11.

MEMORY VERSE:
Luke 21:26: “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Spirituality is not determined by biological age but by inner maturity.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 22/08/22:
Your life will daily attract men into the Kingdom, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE:
Matthew 24:10-24

Monday 22/08/22 MESSAGE:

Yesterday we looked at persecution and killing of Christians as parts of the signs of the times foretold by Jesus Christ. Another is grand scale hatred of believers. The Bible says, If the world hate you, ye know that it hated, me before it hated you (John 15:18). Because of this hatred, many Christians are being denied of their benefits and legitimate rights. if this is your experience, be sure that your God will fight for you, in Jesus’ name.

In addition, in the circle of believers, many shall be offended (Matt. 24:10). This sign of the times is very touching because there are many people who are turning away from Christ today, giving ridiculously flimsy excuses like ‘when I returned from my trip, nobody came to greet me’; “when my aged father was sick, I prayed for him, yet he died’ etc.

Many of those taking offence are supposedly old Christians. You, who are reading this devotional today, l hope you are not like that.

Brotherly betrayal is another sign of the times. The way some believers are crushing the hearts of their fellow brethren these days is something unimaginable. The question raised by Prophet Malachi is very relevant. “Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother…?” (Mal 2:10).

In a communist country, the communist soldiers arrested a pastor and his disciples- two teenage sisters. On the promise of liberty by the soldiers, the Pastor shot the two sisters dead. Unfortunately, he too was eventually killed by the soldiers as they asked him to go.

Other signs include hatred among Christians; emergence of many false prophets who will deceive many, and the love of many waxing cold because of iniquity. There is also the widespread preaching of the gospel globally which has been enhanced through the internet. “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:28).

Are you ready for His coming?
