MFM Topic, TUE 06-12-22:- say no to backsliding (3)

Welcome to MFM Devotional, 06/12/22

PRAISE & WORSHIP
O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED

1 O Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
Be thou forever near me,
My Master and my friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If thou wilt be my guide.

2 O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.

3 O let me hear thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
Thou guardian of my soul.

4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
To all who follow thee
That where thou art in glory
There shall thy servant be.
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
My Master and my friend

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Haggai 1, Haggai 2:1-23, 2 John 1:1-13, Proverbs 29:19-27

MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 3:12 –
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart [of unbelief, in departing from the living God.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Winners don’t quit and quitters don’t win.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY 6-12-22: I decree that, as the Lord lives, you will never go back to the world, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 6:60-66 (KJV)
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

06/12/22 MESSAGE:
The spirit of backsliding is on rampage and many are falling away by the day. So far, we have learnt some of the danger signals of backsliding. We will look at some more today.

One danger signal of backsliding we should not ignore is unbelieving attitude. Without faith, it is impossible to please God and have a successful walk with Him. Faith is having courageous trust in God and His ability to do all things. That is why backsliding is synonymous with losing faith or falling away from faith. This will not be your portion, in the name of Jesus.

The Scriptures have instances of unbelief and condemn all of them. Jude 1:5 says, “The Lord, having saved the people out of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not” (NKJV). Similarly, concerning some disciples of Jesus, John 6:60, 66 reveal this, “Many disciples said, this is a hard saying; who can hear it? Many went back, and walked no more with him” (NKJV). Heed God’s admonition in Hebrews 3:12, “Beware lest any man spoil you through unbelief, in departing from the living God” (NKJV). Arise, and prav unbelief out of your life!

Another danger signal of backsliding is hardening one’s heart to the truth. The Bible says that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Jesus is the Truth. The word of God is the Truth, but it is the truth you know, believe and live by that can set you free. When a person rejects the truth, he or she has chosen the path of falsehood and darkness. Such a person has ears that are dull of hearing and eyes that have been closed (Matthew 13:15).

He or she will eventually backslide.
Double mindedness and wavering constitute another danger signal of backsliding. We have earlier established that you need faith to please God and that unbelief causes backsliding. The kind of faith that can help to prevent backsliding is unwavering faith. It is the kind of faith that Joshua and Caleb exhibited, not grasshopper kind of faith. The Bible says that a double minded man is unstable in his ways (James1:6-8).

Similarly, double-minded and wavering people are “those who did not set their hearts aright and their spirits were not right” (Psalm 78:8).

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Spirit of unbelief, depart from me, in the name of Jesus.

2. Father, make me a lover and doer of the truth, in the name of Jesus.

3. Father, take double-mindedness and wavering away from my life, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. Father, give me steadfast, unwavering and enduring faith, in the name of Jesus.

5. I declare that my faith will not fail, in the name of Jesus.

6. Agents of backsliding assigned against my life, die, in the name of Jesus.

7. I reject the path of falsehood and darkness, in the name ofJesus
