Welcome to MFM Devotional, 18/12/22

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezra 2:68-70, Ezra 3, Ezra 4:1-5, Revelation 9:13-21, Revelation 10, Proverbs 30:24-33

PRAISE & WORSHIP

Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my Light, my Strength, my Song
This Cornerstone, this Solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

Verse 2
In Christ alone, Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This Gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Verse 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 55:1
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Freshness of the spiritual life is a function of the flow of the water of life into your life.

PROPHETIC WORD for 18/12/22:
I decree upon your life that spiritual dryness shall be far from you, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 7:37-40 (NIV)

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”

MESSAGE 18 DEC 2022:
Water is life, is a popular saying in our contemporary times. Of course, water is life! From biological and physiological contexts, it has been established that seventy-five percent of our bodily composition is water. Our cells, tissues, organs, systems, blood etc need water to function well. The human brain also needs water to function effectively. Water in the body regulates and maintains temperature and all our bodily functions.

Now, imagine what will happen to a person whose body lacks sufficient water. The state of insufficient water in the body is called dehydration. This could lead to serious health issues if not properly handled. Physical dehydration is dangerous to our well-being.
You need to know that as there is physical dehydration, there is also spiritual dehydration. The Bible uses water to symbolise both the Holy Spirit (Isa. 55:1; John 7:39) and the word of God (Eph. 5:26; Tit. 2:5).

What I am trying to tell you is that spiritual dehydration is even worse than the physical one. The Almighty God wants all His children to be well hydrated so as to be able to function optimally in every facet of their spiritual life.

Therefore, to be well hydrated spiritually, you need to saturate your life with the word of God, Let the word of Holy Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Colossians 3:16) and be filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). The word of God in your life and the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit in you, just like natural water in the body, will help regulate and maintain your spiritual temperature and functions.

The word of God cleanses the heart, the imagination and the thought pattern of the believer who daily drinks from the Fountain of the Word of life. As you take in this spiritual water every day, your spirit-man is well lubricated to avoid internal pressure and friction which could damage your spiritual life.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Thank You, Lord, for the redemption of my life, in the name of Jesus.

2. Powers assigned to cut me off from the fountain of life, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.

3. Arrow of spiritual dryness fired against me, backfire, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. Every witchcraft pot, cooking my glory, scatter by thunder, in the name of Jesus.

5. Bewitchment from the marine kingdom assigned to waste my life, die, in the name of Jesus.

6. Holy Ghost fire, saturate my life, in the name of Jesus.

7. O Lord, turn me to fire, in the name of Jesus.
