Welcome to MFM Devotional 16\08\23

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 26 – 27; Revelation 7 – 8

PRAISE & WORSHIP

Thy Word is a lamp to my feet,
A light to my path alway,
To guide and to save me from sin,
And show me the heav’nly way.

Refraiin:
Thy Word have I hid in my heart,
That I might not sin against Thee;
That I might not sin, that I might not sin,
Thy Word have I hid in my heart.

2 Forever, O Lord, is Thy Word
Established and fixed on high;
Thy faithfulness unto all men
Abideth for ever nigh. (Refrain)

3 At morning, at noon, and at night
I ever will give Thee praise;
For Thou art my portion, O Lord,
And shall be thro’ all my days! (Refrain)

4 Thro’ Him whom Thy Word hath foretold,
The Saviour and Morning Star,
Salvation and peace have been bro’t
To those who have strayed afar. (Refrain)

MEMORY VERSE: Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Destitute of the fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing fire, nothing else matters.

16|8|23 PROPHETIC WORD:
As from today, God’s word in your heart will be like a burning fire, shut up in your bones, and you will be able to do His will, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:3-11

3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

16|8|23 MESSAGE:

Fire is communicable. It can spread easily. Another way to fan your flame of faith is by associating with people who are already on fire for God. The believers in Philippi helped to share the good news about Christ after Paul shared it with them. They fellowshipped with Paul who was on fire for God, and little wonder Paul prayed that God who had begun the good work in them would carry it through to completion on the day of Christ Jesus (Phil. 1:6). It means that the believers were actually growing.

You can identify believers on fire by their conversations, their decisions, their beliefs about purpose and eternity, and by their actions. Do they put God first in all these? Do they ‘decrease’ so that Jesus would ‘increase through their lives (John 3:30)? Do they do things through strife and vainglory, or esteem others better than themselves (Phil. 2:3)? Do they follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness (1 Timothy 6:11)?

The association of Moses and Joshua produced a great man of God and a successor in Joshua because Moses was on fire for God. The same thing applies to Elijah and Elisha as well as Jesus and the apostles.

Beloved, find believers who are on fire for God, and be humble enough to fellowship with them, and you, in turn, fire up those whose flames are low.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Every spirit of pride preventing me from fellowshipping with the right people, depart from me, in the name of Jesus.

2. Lord, open my eyes to the helpful associations You have placed around me, in the name of Jesus.

3. I receive the grace to be a hearer and doer of God’s word, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4. I decrease, so that Jesus may increase in my life, in the name of Jesus.

5. Every spiritual gift that has become dormant in my life, receive the fire of God and come alive, in the name of Jesus.

6. My family and I are for signs and wonders, to the glory of God, in the name of Jesus.

7. Whether the devil likes it or not, I shall fulfil my purpose, in the name of Jesus.
