Welcome to MFM Devotional, 15/12/22

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 1, Malachi 2:1-16, Revelation 6, Psalm 143:1-12

MEMORY VERSE: Galatians 5:26 –
“Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Unity is strength. We are only strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY 15/12/22: The spirit of disunity is banished from your life permanently, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Numbers 16:1-17

THUR 15 DEC MESSAGE:
We are called to be ambassadors of unity, peace and progress. It is when we remove disunity far from our camp that we will enjoy the benefits of unity. That is why we will continue to look at other causes of disunity in our discourse today.
Hatred and ill feeling are major causes of disunity. We should not allow hatred, bitterness and ill feeling to grow in the garden of our lives. That is why Proverbs 10:12 says that hatred stirs up strifes: but love covers up all sins.

Also, Proverbs 26:24 says, “He who hates disguises it with his lips and lays up deceit within himself.” Another cause of disunity is envy and jealousy. The Bible affirms that where envy is, there is every evil work (James 3:13-14). It also says love does not envy and does not vaunt itself (1 Corinthians 13:4). Galatians 5:26 adds, “Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” Disunity also often arises where there is favouritism and partiality. In Acts 6:1, the Bible records that there arose murmuring among the Grecians against the Hebrews because the Grecian widows were neglected.

This was in the early church, and the apostles had to deal with the issue.
Self-exaltation and desire for leadership also cause disunity. Numbers 12:1-5 shows that Miriam and Aaron rebelled against Moses, desiring power. Numbers 16:1-35 provides an account of Korah’s rebellion against Moses, desiring leadership. In Luke 22:24, there was strife among the disciples of Jesus on who should be the greatest.

Lastly, 3 John 1:9-11 mentions Diotrephes who loved to have preeminence among the brethren and promoted disunity.
In 1 Timothy 6:3-5, Apostle Paul warned the brethren about false teachers who love to dote about questions and strifes of words, thereby causing strife and disunity.

Beloved, the unity of the brethren, families as well as the peaceful co-existence of nations of the world is of paramount importance to God.
Don’t allow the enemy to lure you into strife and disunity through any of his baits and antics.

You are Christ’s ambassador of peace and unity!
