Welcome to MFM Devotional, 07/12/22

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: Proverbs 15:10 “CORRECTION IS GRIEVOUS UNTO HIM THAT FORSAKETH THE WAY: AND HE THAT HATETH REPROOF SHALL DIE”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
A BACKSLIDER IS SIMPLY TELLING GOD THAT HE OR SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE RAPTURED OR SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN”.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR 7/12/22:
I DECREE A TOTAL SEPARATION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY POWER THAT WANTS YOU TO END IN HELL FIRE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

FIRE SCRIPTURE:PROVERBS 28:9-14 (KJV)

[1] The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
[2] For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
[3] A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
[4] They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
[5] Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
[6] Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
[7] Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
[8] He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
[9] He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
[10] Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
[11] The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
[12] When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
[13] He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
[14] Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

7 DEC 22 MESSAGE:
Acquiring knowledge about the causes or danger signals of backsliding will help us to avoid falling into its trap. Today, we will learn more about the danger signals. You and I will never backslide, in the name of Jesus.

A man who loves and accepts correction will grow in faith and will not fall prey to the enemy. However, some people often refuse to receive correction. This is tantamount to rejecting God’s word and will. This is because the word of God is for the believers” correction and reproof. The Bible says that correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way (Proverbs 15:10).

Anyone who refuses to receive correction will backslide. Therefore, you should have the right attitude towards correction. Failure to confess problems and sins is another danger signal of backsliding. The Bible encourages us to confess our sins to God and to one another. It frowns at covering up our sins. When sins are not confessed and forsaken, they will grow and multiply until they push the victim into the pit of backsliding and ruin.

Proverbs 28:13 says, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper.” Deal with sin by confession and repentance. Backsliding will not be your portion, in Jesus’ name. Backsliding sometimes results from people’s failure to respond to God’s reproof. When God reproves or chastises a person, it is out of love and for the good of the person.

The reproof or chastisement should be accepted with appreciation and the necessary adjustment should be made. God is not happy when He is angry and reproves but the offender goes on still in his or her wrong ways (Isaiah 57:17). The Bible affirms that he that is being reproved and hardens his heart shall be destroyed suddenly (Proverbs 29:1). So, respond to God’s correction wisely and you will not lose faith.

Also, when a believer allows bitterness to grow, the result will be a falling away from God (backsliding). Bitterness is a negative emotional feeling and it is a counter-productive spirit. It breeds hatred, strife, division and destroys peaceful co-existence. Whenever bitterness shows up, it should be nipped in the bud through peaceful resolution. If it is not, its victims will backslide.

Beloved, avoid bitterness. God bless you immensely, in the name of Jesus.
