MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 5 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – The Power of His Voice

TOPIC: The Power of His Voice (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 5 December 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 29:3-11

MEMORY VERSE: “But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.” – Exodus 23:22

The MESSAGE:

There are different voices that speak to human beings. The devil tries to confuse believers by sending voices from the pit of hell to them. It is the work of believers to try to distinguish between the voices they hear as the ability to distinguish between these voices makes one a true Christian. Also, God speaks in different ways. He may decide to speak through the prophets, through the reading of His words and most importantly, through the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Two salient things you need the most to make it in life are your ability to recognise the voice of God from any other voice when He speaks to you and your ability to obey Him. A lot of believers actually hear the voice of God but disregard it because it is not what their itching ears want to hear or because most of the time, what God is saying goes against the gains of their personal agenda. It is, however, dangerous to pretend that God has not been speaking to you because it is only the power of that voice that can turn your situation around.

In Exodus 23:20-21, God says: “Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.” The truth is that, once you listen to Him and obey His voice, He will keep you in the way until you come to your Promised Land. As believers, God is always, God is always interested in speaking to us but it is our inability to listen to Him when He speaks that is the problem. To hear from God, we must always be in the spirit. The Bible says: “God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24). John the beloved said: “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (Revelation 1:10a). It then means that to hear from God, we must be in the spirit.

Come closer to Him today by reading His word, and you will hear that voice, that still small voice meant to comfort you.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
WHEN THE POWER OF HIS VOICE GETS YOU UP, NO POWER CAN BRING YOU DOWN AGAIN.

PROPHETIC WORD:
By the power of His voice, I prophesy the change of levels in your life now.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. O voice of the LORD, come forth now and let my problem mountains scatter, in the name of Jesus.
2. O voice of the LORD, silence every evil voice prophesying evil things into my life, in the name of Jesus.
3. My Father, by Your voice let complete deliverance happen to my life today, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. By the voice of the Almighty, I command all impossibilities in my life to become possible, in the name of Jesus.
5. Every stubborn longtime problem that has refused to let me rest, by the voice of the LORD, be cursed now to your root, in the name of Jesus.
6. By the power in the voice of the LORD, I reject failure, in the name of Jesus.
7. Thou power of the voice of the LORD, liberate me completely from every entanglement of darkness, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: You Are Precious To God [TREM Devotional 5 December 2018]

“Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.” Isaiah 43:4

Don’t ever look down on yourself. One very potent tool in the hands of the devil is self-doubt. When people don’t believe in you, it is one thing, but when you do not believe in yourself, it is quite another and indeed the latter is worse than the former. If no one believes in you and you believe in yourself, God can turn things around in your favour, but when you do not believe in yourself, it is like calling God a liar. Wow! That is strong you may say, but that is the truth. When you don’t believe in yourself, when God believes in you, you cannot walk in the newness of life He has made available to you through His blood.

In our text today, God says you are precious in His sight. Stop and think about it; if God calls you precious, how then should you carry yourself? He did not say you are precious in the sight of man, but precious in His own sight. He saw you in your mess and still chose to pay the price for your redemption, because you are precious to Him. Yes, you may have missed it repeatedly, but that has not diminished your importance in the Kingdom, He still says you are precious. Even when you think you are down and out and like Naomi, when she was returning from the land of Moab told the people, call me not Naomi (which means pleasant) but call me Mara (which means bitterness), God still looked at her and from her daughter-in-law, God raised Obed the grandfather of David of the lineage of Jesus. Can you see that? What can be worse than that. She looked at herself and wrote herself off, but mercy reached out to her and God restored her.

If that happened to Naomi under the Old Covenant, how much more you, under the New Covenant! You are precious to God. He shed His blood just because of you. Don’t give up, don’t give in, don’t lose hope. Look up, it is a new dawn for you.

Topic: Start That Chain [Open Heavens for Teens 5 December 2018]

Memorise: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:10

Read: Romans 10:13-15 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Daniel 5-6, 1 John 4

MESSAGE:

God can use anyone. He does not discriminate. If you yield to Him, you will become a candidate of divine occupation. If you can simply obey God’s instructions, you will be dazed at the impact of your obedience. In the Kingdom, there is a chain, a power network. And that chain is the chain of believers constantly working to bring more people to that chain. You were saved to save others. If we all live by this charge, by and by, the world would be reached or Christ.

A man once led his boss to Christ. That boss eventually gave many buildings to ensure that the RCCG was established in Port-Harcourt. Today, in Rivers state, Nigeria, we have about 1000 parishes all because of a driver witnessed Christ to his boss! All God wants you to do is to speak up, and He will do the rest. Do not ignore any opportunity you have to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those you meet. You can start your chain today!

Action Point:

Start a chain today. Win a soul!

Topic: Understanding Prayer [Seeds of Destiny 5 December 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-13,

Thought For The Day: A person’s relationship with God is confirmed by the buoyancy, vibrancy and liveliness of their prayer life.

The subject of prayer has always been greeted with many misconceptions. Some people think that prayer is only done when there is a problem or a need. This is why such people can actually live for a week, month or year without talking to God in prayer until there is a challenge. This is a serious misconception about prayer.

Now, what is prayer?
Prayer is a platform for communion between God and man; it is the platform for the building, strengthening, and development of relationship between God and man. Relationship must precede request. To request for things from someone you have no relationship with makes one a beggar.

Every relationship must be serviced by communication. Communication breakdown equals relationship breakdown. A person’s relationship with God is confirmed by the buoyancy, vibrancy and liveliness of their prayer life.

Now, as a person communicates with God at the place of prayer, he has the opportunity to really know the God he is serving. Prayer brings you to a point where you are no longer a stranger to God, and thus, positions you for exploits.

Beloved, as you stand before God at the place of prayer consistently, may He open your eyes to see clearly the plans He has for you, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember This: A person’s relationship with God is confirmed by the buoyancy, vibrancy and liveliness of their prayer life.

Assignments:
1. Decide to make praying and studying of the Word of God part of your daily schedule.
2. Pray as often as you breathe.

Prayer: O Lord, draw me closer to Yourself in relationship. Open my eyes to behold the wonders of Your Presence, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: He Knows [DCLM Daily Manna 5 December 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Exodus 2:23-25; 3:1-10 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows“ (Exodus 3:7).

MESSAGE:

The following statement was found penned on the wall of a prison cell in Europe: “I believe in love even when I don’t feel it. I believe in God even when He is silent.” Someone asked C.S. Lewis, “Why do the righteous suffer?” “Why not?” He replied; “they’re the only ones who can take it.”

From our text, the Israelites grew in number after the death of Joseph. The new Pharaoh that emerged at the time conveniently chose to forget Joseph’s contributions to the Egyptian economy and his good legacy, deciding rather to punish Israel with a view to breaking their will and reducing them to slaves in the process. Israelites, now facing pain and agony under the Egyptian oppressors, cried out to God who responded by assuring them that He hears, He sees and understands the sorrows of men. He sent Moses as a deliverer because He remembered His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Many want to know why God allows suffering today. ‘If God is a loving God’, they say, ‘He would not allow natural disasters and wars that claim the lives of thousands’. The answers are not hard to find. God told Israel in Isaiah 59:1,2 that their iniquities had separated them from Him and made Him hide his face from attending to their cry. When Israel abandoned God and turned to idolatry in Egypt, the Lord allowed them to suffer at the hands of the Egyptian taskmasters, until they cried to the Lord in repentance.

Whatever we face today, we must understand that God sees, hears, knows and understands. He knows the oppressors and what they do to us. When we repent and turn away from our sins, He will protect and deliver us from all evils and make everything work out for our good and His glory.
