MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 9 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Your Separation and Your Destiny

TOPIC: Your Separation and Your Destiny (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 9 December 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

MEMORY VERSE: “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” – Acts 13:2

The MESSAGE:

Many believers are hiding in the comfort zones of iniquity without realising that they are in the danger zones. Therefore, they need to realise such comfort as comfort in bondage and quickly run out of it. In such a place, destinies cannot be fulfilled because there are many things in such comfort zones that hinder destinies from being fulfilled. A separation is needed from such zones as stated in the Fire Scripture. Separation from unbelievers, uncleanliness, unrighteousness, darkness, satan, infidels, idols and ungodliness establish our relationship with God.

There are seven levels of separation:

1. Separation from your place of birth, from demonic gatherings and your nativity (Ezekiel 16, Joshua 24:2). Your nativity has a lot to do with your destiny.
2. Separation from your Father’s house –Abraham separated himself from his father’s household (Genesis 12:1).
3. Separation from Haran (an environment, location or the country where one may be) Genesis 11: 31-32
4. Separation from Lot –Abraham separated himself from Lot in Genesis 13:14 and this brought divine encounter to him.
5. Separation from Egypt –Genesis 13:1. By going to Egypt, Hagar living with Abraham in Egypt became a problem for him.
6. Separation from Hagar and Ishmael –If you cannot wait for the will of God, you will get the devil’s alternative.
7. Separate yourself from your own Isaac –Abraham was submissive and obedient to God to sacrifice his son, and God was able to make him great because of his obedience.

God’s revelation is progressive, always wait on Him for the next instruction, for the next step before you proceed. Most of the times, the things that are too difficult for us to release to God are the sources of our problems.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
UNTIL YOUR Lot IS SEPARATED, YOU MAY NOT GET YOUR lot IN LIFE.

PROPHETIC WORD:
The fire of the Holy Ghost will separate you from evil attachment.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. O God my Father, take away from me, anything that is not from You, in the name of Jesus.
2. I separate myself from any relationship assigned to take me to hell fire, in the name of Jesus.
3. I release my Isaac to God, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

1. I refuse to go back to Egypt, in the name of Jesus.
2. My Lot, preventing me from my divine encounter, go away, in the name of Jesus.
3. My Father, if I am wrongly positioned, please relocate me, in the name of Jesus.
4. Demonic attachment, I separate myself from you, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: Make Room For Greatness [TREM Devotional 9 December 2018]

“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes” Isaiah 54:2

Today, I come your way to challenge you to make room for greatness. The best time to plan for the future is today. The future you do not plan for may never manifest; not because God does not want to bless you, but because you did not plan for it.

All truths are parallel. Have you seen a farmer who plans on Acres of land and has no plan for harvest? Have you seen a farmer go to the field to harvest without a plan for storage or sale? Have you seen a farmer who uses 3 hectares to farm and does not build a barn to store the harvest? If in the natural, you know how to prepare for harvest, why not in the spiritual. Have you forgotten that all truth is parallel?

If a farmer plants rice on an acre of land and does not plan for the harvest, if he takes care of the farm diligently the harvest will come, but because he is not prepared, the produce will go bad in his hands. Now, who will you blame for the loss? Is it God who gave the increase or the man who prayed and waited for increase without a plan?

Let me ask you, if the Lord answers all your prayers, can you handle the result? You want to become CEO of your organization, if the vacancy appears today, will you qualify? That is where the rubber meets the road. Prepare for greatness, luck is nothing but opportunity meeting preparation. Prepare for the greatness. Ask yourself, what do I need to put in place to get the harvest? If there is a course you need to do, go and get it done. If there is a plan you need to set in motion, the time to start is now.

Don’t sit down, fold your hands and expect the greatness to fall on you like a bag of cherries, play your part and God will exceed your expectations.

Topic: What Wisdom? [Open Heavens for Teens 9 December 2018]

Memorise: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. – James 3:17

Read: James 3:14-18 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Hosea 1-4, Jude 1

MESSAGE:

Today’s Bible reading talks about wisdom. Wisdom is the correct application of knowledge. It could be from God or from the devil. In the Bible reading, the two are contrasted. How can you identify the wisdom of the devil? Any suggestion or action that accommodates bitterness is devilish. No matter how laudable an action, plan or step is, the moment bitterness is introduced into it, it turns devilish.

In other words, you can have a God glorifying programme that originated from God; if somewhere along the line bitterness enters, God will step aside. Anything you want to do that is born out of bitterness is not of God. Bitterness harms its host as well as its target. An embittered fellow will struggle with forgiving the one who has offended him or her. Is there any bitterness in your heart against an offender? Forgive that individual immediately.

Action Point: Run away from bitterness.

Hymn 13

1.Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?

Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior who does on the cross

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation?
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

Topic: God’s Posterity [DCLM Daily Manna 9 December 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: 1 Chronicles 8:1-13 (KJV)

Key Verse: “Beriah also, and Shema, who were heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove away the inhabitants of Gath“ (1 Chronicles 8:13).

MESSAGE:

It is a terrible thing to pass through this life without leaving any worthy mark. It is true that everyone does some activities, but mere activities are not enough. The famous American inventor and businessman, Thomas A. Edison, captured this truth thus, “Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”

Genealogical listing, such as we have in today’s text, hardly has room for any significant comment on the lives of the names listed. All that we have is a hint of their position in the family tree, names and number of their offspring. But in verses 12 and 13, the Chronicler could not gloss over the worthy legacies of two sets of people. Their deeds got attached to their names.

The sons of Elpaal built Ono and Lod and their adjoining towns while Beriah and Shema, heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon, drove away the inhabitants of Gath. Gath was one of the five principal cities of Israel’s long-standing enemies; the home of powerful figures like Goliath.

This is our time. Our history is still in the making. A new book of Chronicles is being compiled. Each of us has an ample chance to make a difference. The good news here is that the measuring scale is no longer about any superhuman exploits; rather, being faithful to God and, by His grace, living a holy life and impacting other people’s lives positively. It is about preaching the gospel and doing things that will promote God’s kingdom. The all-seeing and impartial God is keeping the record of our lives and will reward us accordingly.

Thought For The Day: To make a difference, you have to be positively different and act differently.

Topic: Breaking the Forces of Captivity [Seeds of Destiny 9 December 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: …That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13-14

Thought For The Day: There is no mystery that cannot be unravelled;
there is no equation without solution.

It is a fact that there is no endless night on the earth. There is also no endless journey; every journey that started must end sometime. Also, there is no endless examination or temptation; every examination must come to an end. Likewise, there is no door without a key, whether it is locked within or without.

There is no mystery that cannot be unravelled; there is no equation without solution. Mathematicians battled with one of the most difficult equations, the Fermat’s last theorem formulated by Pierre de Fermat in 1637, for many centuries, until Andrew Wiles proved the formula after three hundred and fifty years. Now, if a formula could be solved by a man after many centuries, how much more can God, the Obadabada (the Almighty God), the Father of all mathematicians, solve every mystery around your life.

Beloved, it does not matter the equation the devil is confronting your life with, the difficult examination set before you, the doors that have been locked against you or the mystery surrounding your life and destiny, today, I decree that you are coming out, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember This: There is no mystery that cannot be unravelled; there is no equation without solution

Assignment:

1. Trust God to dissolve every mystery around your life.

Prayer: O Lord, I surrender my all to You. I ask that You break every chain and bondage surrounding my life and destiny, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Steadfast Love [Our Daily Bread 9 December 2018 Devotional]

Read: Psalm 136:1–9, Bible in a Year: Daniel 11–12; Jude

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1

“I love you!” my dad called out as I slammed the car door and headed into school. I was in sixth grade, and for months we had played out basically the same scenario every morning. We arrived at school, Dad said, “Have a great day! I love you!” and all I said was “Bye.” I wasn’t angry with him or ignoring him. I was simply so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I didn’t notice his words. Nevertheless, my dad’s love remained steadfast.

God’s love is like that—and more. It endures forever. The Hebrew word that expresses this steadfast kind of love is hesed. It’s used over and over again in the Old Testament, and twenty-six times in Psalm 136 alone! No modern word can fully capture the meaning; we translate it “kindness,” “loving-kindness,” “mercy,” or “loyalty.” Hesed is a love that is based on covenant commitment; love that is loyal and faithful. Even when God’s people sinned, He was faithful in loving them. Steadfast love is an integral part of the character of God (Exodus 34:6).

When I was a child, I sometimes took my dad’s love for granted. Sometimes now I do the same thing with my heavenly Father’s love. I forget to listen to God and respond. I forget to be grateful. Yet I know that God’s love for me remains steadfast—a reality that provides a sure foundation for all of my life.

Prayer: God, we praise You for Your steadfast love to us! Even when we’re faithless, You’re faithful.

Take time to show the love of God to someone today.

INSIGHT:
Psalm 136 is known in Jewish tradition as the Great Hallel (from hallelujah; a psalm of praise). The writer of this psalm isn’t given, although some commentators suggest it was written by David. This joyful psalm was likely used as a responsive reading or song. The congregation would repeat (or sing) in unison the refrain “His love endures forever” after an individual or a choir of priests and Levites sang each opening sentence. It was likely sung during the dedication of Solomon’s temple (2 Chronicles 7:3, 6). Variations of the refrain are also found in 1 Chronicles 16:34 and 2 Chronicles 5:13; 20:21. This psalm not only served as a reminder to the Israelites but also reminds us today to praise God for His never-ending goodness and His wondrous deeds on our behalf.Alyson Kieda
