MFM Topic for Tue 04-10-22:-take the leap of faith

WELCOME TO 04-10-22 MFM DEVOTIONAL

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 7:30-34, JEREMIAH 8, JEREMIAH 9:1-16, COLOSSIANS 1:1-23, PSALM 116:12-19

WORSHIP & PRAISE
O LORD MY GOD

1 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!

2 When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

3 And when I think how God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burdens gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:

4 When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation,
To take me home, what joy will fill my heart!
Then I will bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!

MEMORY VERSE: ACTS 26: 28-29
“THEN AGRIPPA SAID UNTO PAUL, ALMOST THOU PERSUADEST ME TO BE A CHRISTIAN. AND PAUL SAID, I WOULD TO GOD, THAT NOT ONLY THOU, BUT ALSO ALL THAT HEAR ME THIS DAY, WERE BOTH ALMOST, AND ALTOGETHER SUCH AS I AM, EXCEPT THESE BONDS.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
FAITH THAT REMAINS PASSIVE BRINGS NO RESULT. PUT YOUR FAITH TO ACTION AND GET GOOD RESULTS.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 4/10/22:
YOUR FAITH IN GOD WILL NOT FAIL, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: RUTH 1:14-19 (New international Version)

14 At this they wept aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.

15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.”

16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.

19 So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”

04-10-22 MESSAGE:
Life is all about choices and decisions. That is why, as a believer, you should ensure that every decision you make in life is guided by God and His word. We will all face the consequences of the choices we make in life and eternity. Are you making God-led and right choices?

The decisions of Ruth and Orpah present a picture of what is involved in true conversion. They also prove that there are consequences attached to our decisions in life. The sojourn of Ruth, Orpah and Naomi, their mother-in-law in the land of Moab had been a very painful experience. As they were leaving Moab, Orpah drew back to end her days in heathen idolatry. Ruth moved on to have her name inscribed in the divine record.

Two decisions made by two persons and two rewards or results. I pray that every decision you make will bring you joy and fulfilment in life and eternity, in the name of Jesus. Ruth took a leap of faith, chose to go with God and never regretted it. On the other hand, Orpah who chose not to go with God, went into oblivion: no one ever heard of her again!

Another Bible character who failed to take the leap of faith was King Agrippa. Though he decided to hear Paul’s message and had an opportunity to make a decision to serve the living God, he did otherwise. The king said to Paul, “Almost thou persuasest me to be a Christian.”

It shows that it was King Agrippa’s decision not to become a Christian. Apostle Paul had shared the gospel with him and had revealed the love of God to him, but he chose not to be convened. What a pity! It is really sad that some will travel with God’s people, yet fail to take that “leap of faith” and entrust all to the Saviour.

Beloved, everyday, new opportunities present themselves for us to either become believers or get more intimate with God and follow Him more dearly. Do not scuttle the opportunity as Orpah and Agrippa did theirs.

Take that leap of faith like Ruth and you will be highly blessed, in the name of Jesus.
