MFM Topic, Fri 28 June 24:- what to do when trouble comes [5]
Welcome to the life-changing programme that always connect participants for an encounter with the God that Answers by Fire.
MFM 2024: OUR YEAR OF OPEN DOORS & DIVINE SPEED
PRAISE & WORSHIP:
Blessed be the Fountain of blood,
To a world of sinners revealed;
Blessed be the dear Son of God –
Only by His stripes we are healed.
Tho I’ve wandered far from His fold,
Bringing to my heart pain and woe,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
Chorus:
Whiter than the snow,
Whiter than the snow,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.
2 Thorny was the crown that He wore,
And the cross His body o’ercame;
Grievous were the sorrows He bore,
But He suffered thus not in vain.
May I to that Fountain be led,
Made to cleanse my sins here below;
Wash me in the blood that He shed,
And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]
3 Father, I have wandered from Thee,
Often has my heart gone astray;
Crimson do my sins seem to me—
Water cannot wash them away.
Jesus, to the Fountain of Thine,
Leaning on Thy promise, I go;
Cleanse me by Thy washing divine,
And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus]
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 60, Psalms 61, Psalms 62; 1 Corinthians 16; 2 Corinthians 1
MEMORY VERSE: Acts 16: 26
26 “And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.”
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
PROBLEMS ARE OFTEN MEANS OF TOUGHENING US TO MAKE US FIT FOR THE HEAVENLY RACE.
FRI 28 JUNE PROPHETIC WORD:
I prophesy upon your life that the Hand of God will work wonder for you, in the name of Jesus.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 16: 25-34
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
MESSAGE FOR FRIDAY 28 JUNE:
After casting out the spirit of divination from a damsel, Paul and Silas got into trouble with the people. They were mercilessly beaten and cast into the innermost part of the prison with their feet chained down. Under normal circumstances, they should have been exhausted from the
riotous activities of the day coupled with the beatings they received.
Naturally, one would expect them to either be fast asleep like Peter or to be in a mood sulking and angry with God for allowing them to go through such ordeals despite Him. But that was not the case with Paul and Silas.
Rather, they started a revival; that brought down an earthquake of deliverance, the foundations of the prison were shaken, all the doors were opened and everyone’s bands were loosed. This subsequently led to the conversion of the jailer and his entire household.
Are you a pastor, evangelist, minister, worker or just a regular believer? You are zealous for God’s work and you do it tirelessly to the best of your human ability. Rather than commendation, all you get is rebuke, persecution and chastisement and you are beginning to wonder if it’s worth going on. That’s the exact corner the devil wants to box you into. It’s up to you to say ‘No.’
Like Paul and Silas, if only you can keep up a positive attitude, God will certainly show to bring something glorious out of your seemingly negative predicament and it will end in praise! God is still in the business of helping, saving and vindicating His people who call on Him when trouble comes to them. He did not forsake Daniel who kept praying to Him in spite of the earthly king’s order. He did not abandon Meshack, Shadrack and Abednego who were thrown into the fiery furnace for not bowing down to the king’s golden image. Call upon Him with unwavering faith when trouble comes. He will save you, in the name of Jesus.
