TOPIC: Faith For The Journey (IV) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 6 January 2021)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 10-13

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:5-10 (KJV)

5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

MEMORY VERSE: “And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” – Acts 3:16

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
If you can believe, all things are possible to them that believe.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I DECREE AND DECLARE THAT THE FAITH THAT PRODUCES EXPLOITS IS YOURS HENCEFORTH, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

The MESSAGE:

In our discourse yesterday, we emphasised that God has special promises for those who exercise faith and indeed rewards acts of faith. We identified answer to prayer and sonship as two benefits or rewards of faith. Let us examine more of these benefits today.

Another benefit you stand to gain for exercising faith in God is spiritual inheritance. James 2:5 confirms this: “Hearken my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs to the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” Faith earns you spiritual inheritance: the Living Water, eternal life, keys of the kingdom, etc.

Also, by exercising faith in God, you receive power from Him. This promise is firmly established in God’s unfailing word. In John 14:12, Jesus gave every believer this assurance: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” Similarly, Colossians 1:23 enjoins believers to “continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven…” God’s promise of power never fails!

The blessings of faith to those who exercise it genuinely cannot be over-emphasised. God has promised to give spiritual rest (Hebrews 4:3) to those who demonstrate genuine faith in Him. The Israelites left Egypt by God’s dramatic deliverance, but many of them perished in the wilderness because of lack of faith. Only those who had faith entered into God’s rest. He also promised them spiritual foundation (1 Peter 2:6) and spiritual assurance (1 John 5:14).

I encourage you to make faith your steady companion this year. Faith is a game changer. You need it for a turnaround experience in all areas of your life. You need it for personal, corporate and national revival. You need it to make heaven and reign with Christ. In all your getting this year, get mountain-moving faith!

PRAYER POINTS:

God, help me to be grounded and settled and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

I will make faith my companion for life, in the name of Jesus.
O God, arise and turn my night to day, in the name of Jesus.
My Father, let faith produce revival and new glory in my life, in the name of Jesus.
My Father, grant me the faith and power to do greater works that Jesus promised, in the name of Jesus.
