TOPIC: Leading In Times Of Crisis (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 8 June 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 7; 2 Chronicles 4
FIRE SCRIPTURE: James 4:1-3
1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
MEMORY VERSE: “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.” – Titus 3:9
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
A good leader is known in the time of war not in the time of peace.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
THE WISDOM THAT SURPASSES THAT OF SOLOMON SHALL BE YOUR PORTION, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Crisis starts in the heart. In the Fire Scripture for today, James is making a specific application of the fundamental principle that Jesus taught in Matthew 15:19. Joshua was afraid when the mantle of leadership fell on him. It would require a lot of wisdom and courage to lead the people after the death of Moses, their leader. He had also seen how they were faced with huge obstacles in the past. But God kept on telling him to be strong and courageous. If you will succeed in your divine purpose and assignment, you must be strong, courageous and confident that God is with you at all times. Fear is a strategy of the devil to limit you; never allow it in your heart.

Courage is the ability to carry on in the face of fear, difficulties and danger with the confidence that God is with you. A good leader, in times of crisis, will remain focused on the vision and mission until they are accomplished. A good leader, in times of crisis, takes bold steps to make his vision a reality and, at the same time, does not undermine the spiritual and physical wellbeing of his followers.
Leaders with the right attitude find opportunity in any difficulty. We have different types of leaders: oppressive leaders, repressive leaders, domineering leaders, progressive leaders, etc. What type of leader are you?
Here are some facts every leader should know: Charisma without character leads to catastrophe. Aroma without anointing leads to annoyance. Crown without the cross leads to weakness. Sound without sense leads to shallowness. Sight without vision leads to stagnation. Shadow without substance leads to reduction. Reason without revelation leads to ridicule.
Finally, beloved, I want you to note that you can only be a successful leader and guide your followers to overcome crisis when you are born again and are daily led by the Holy Spirit. Leaders who genuinely follow Christ and His Spirit cannot fail.

MFM SINGLES FASTING & PRAYER – JUNE 8, 2021 – DAY 17
SECTION THREE
PERSONAL CONFESSION
As I make this confession, I declare to the devil that I am not ignorant of who I am in Christ. I am born again and I belong to God. Jesus bought me with His precious and blameless blood and He has translated my life from the kingdom of darkness into His kingdom of light.
I confess and decree that this is my season of marital celebration. The Lord will have mercy on me. My Saviour will shower me with His favour for marital breakthrough that will make me forget my past tears. I do not have any reason to worry because my God will never come late in my case.
I am peculiar and unique. My story will end in glory. My God has the final say and He will make me to laugh last over my marital foes.
I begin to prophetically dance the way I would dance on my wedding day. I will sing for joy and my joy shall be full. This is my season, my time has come. My marriage shall be fruitful, I shall not have delay in child bearing. The Lord has counted me worthy among those who will get married this year. I may not understand how it will happen but my God will bring it to pass because He is a mysterious God. His ways are different from those of men.
Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses. Some trust in other gods and some trust in their wisdom, but I put my trust in the name of the Lord. I have faith in God because He has never failed and He will never fail. I am blessed, my life partner is blessed, my marriage is blessed, and the children that God will give me are blessed. I will be a source of blessing to my life partner. I shall live long to enjoy my marriage in good health and prosperity. And by this time next year, my marital status would have changed; my testimony will be full and complete. The God of Israel will bless me maritally without
adding any sorrow, in the name of Jesus.
I make the confession, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!!!!
NOTE: Make the Personal confession before you start the prayer each day for the section.
