Welcome to MFM Devotional, 14/12/22

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]

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 14/12/22:
God will make you His ambassador of peace and unity, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 133:1-3: (KJV)

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

For brethren to dwell together in unity!

2  It is like the precious ointment upon the head,

That ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard:

That went down to the skirts of his garments;

3  As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:

For there the Lord commanded the blessing,

Even life for evermore.

14/12/22 MESSAGE:
God wants us to have unity. He also wants us to promote unity wherever we are. We are ambassadors of Christ. God’s word is clear on this. Psalm 133:1 says, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” He also said that there should be no divisions among you, but be perfectly joined together in the same mind (1 Corinthians 1:10). Similarly, 2 Corinthian 13:11 says, “Be ye of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”

The Holy Spirit does not operate where there is disunity and strife. Disunity hinders progress and development, both spiritual and physical. Disunity promotes chaos and disorder and hinders peaceful co-existence. In Proverbs 6:16 and 19, the Bible says that God hates anyone that sows discord among the brethren. The same Holy Book also says that if you have strife in your heart you should not glory because strife does not descend from above but is of the devil (James 3:13-14).

Beloved, having learnt that God hates disunity and enjoins us to promote oneness, let us look at the causes of disunity. This will enable us to avoid becoming its agent.

First, pride and lust cause disunity.
Proverbs 13:10 says that only by pride comes contention. Proverbs 28:25 adds that he that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife and James 4:1-3 affirms that strife comes from people’s lusts. Dear reader, avoid pride and lust the same way you avoid a plague.

Second, disunity comes from not walking in the Spirit. It is a sign of carnality. Galatians 5:19-21 identifies hatred, wrath and strife (among others) as works of the flesh. Similarly, 1 Corinthians 3:3 says, “Ye are carnal: there is among you strife and divisions.” Have you been involved in hatred wrath, strife and divisions in your family, neighbourhood, workplace or church? You are not being a good ambassador of Christ. Repent today!

Our greatest desire, as believers should be to become like Christ who laid down His life to destroy the walls of partition that divided mankind. He brought unity and peace that the world needed greatly.

He also prayed for the church and the unity of believers. We should all follow His example.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. My Father, banish the spirit of strife from my life, in the name of Jesus.

2. Father, give me the wisdom to dwell together in unity with the brethren, in the name of Jesus.

3. I banish pride, contention and lust from my life, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. I shall walk in the Spirit and promote unity, in the name of Jesus.

5. I reject any form of carnality, in the name of Jesus.

6. Spirit of hatred, I am not your candidate, die, in the name of Jesus.

7. Strife and division, depart from my family, in the name Jesus.
