MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 12 March 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Fulfilling God’s Condition for Blessing (I)

TOPIC: Fulfilling God’s Condition for Blessing (I) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 12 March 2019)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 16-18; Mark 13:1-20

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 12:1-3

MEMORY VERSE: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” – Revelation 3:20

The MESSAGE:

Note the word “Now” before you continue. It connotes something that happened at a stage or point in Abraham’s life. Also, there were three-fold places the Lord commanded Abram to leave in order to be in the right place and he obeyed willingly.

This is the same thing God wants from you and me if we must succeed in life. The three-fold places Abram departed from represented the obstacles, sin and the wickedness, within and without, that would have limited him. Whatever and wherever the Lord is asking you to leave, leave it now. Leave that place of sin, that ungodly relationship, life of fornication, hypocrisy, backsliding, drinking and so on. God desires complete surrender of the spirit, body and soul of His children. He cannot order you around as He desires if He cannot first possess you to Himself.

What should you surrender?

1. Your body: Eyes, nose, ears, legs, hands, mouth, every part of your body. Use your body to do only things that pleases God. Most importantly, your sexual organ. Misuse of it can put you in eternal bondage. A lot of the so-called Christians are yet to yield this part of their bodies totally to God (Colossians 3:1-9).
2. Spirit and Soul: Do not depend on your strength or wisdom. Put on the new man (Colossians 3:10-17). Live in subjection to the Holy Spirit. Show forth the fruit of the Spirit. Be loving, full of hospitality, forgiving, etc. (Galatians 5:22; Colossians 1:10).

The benefits of surrendering to God and living and all-round godly life will attract the presence of God, His mercy, blessing and grace to your life. You will discover His purpose for your life. You will fulfil your destiny as you walk in total trust and obedience. You will not make careless and destiny-truncating mistakes. You will be the light and salt of the world and also a terror to the kingdom of darkness and so on.

At this stage of life, God is asking you to surrender your life to Him. Now is the right time to give it all to God as tomorrow might be too late.

Today, make the right choice. The Lord is offering to own you, lead, help, use and in return bless you with life in abundance. What is it that is stopping Him from blessing you? Fornication, stealing, gossip, hate, secret sin, name it. Or have you been swimming in perpetual backsliding or never tasted Jesus before? Now is the right time to let Him in, to dine with you.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
GOD IS AWESOME. HE GIVES CONDITIONS FOR BLESSINGS AND PROVIDES THE GRACE TO MEET THE CONDITIONS.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Receive supernatural grace and strength to walk diligently before the Lord.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. O Lord, teach me to obediently walk with You, in the name of Jesus.
2. O Lord, come in Your fullness and dwell in my life, in the name of Jesus.
3. I come out of every place the Lord hates today, in the name of Jesus.
   EVENING
4. My Father, I surrender my whole being to You today, receive me, in the name of Jesus.
5. Holy Spirit, overshadow my life, in the name of Jesus.
6. Every agenda of the enemy to truncate my life, be nullified, in the name of Jesus.
7. My life is covered with the precious blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: Look Unto God [Open Heavens for Teens 12 March 2019]

Memorise: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” – John 15:5

Read: Hebrews 12:2

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 17-19, Mark 14:1-25

MESSAGE:

As teenagers, there are many things lined up for you to do; you are required to do exceptionally well in school, you are required to do house chores, to behave respectfully to elders and to act responsibly at all times. All these are aides planning your future and working towards having a successful life.

Life is a serious journey, and it is only those who know God’s plan and follow through such plans that will make it. Nothing happens by chance, you can only reap what you sow; making the right decisions and taking practical steps to achieve them will give you the future that you desire.

However, there is something more important than any of those things listed above. John 15:5 clearly states that without God, you can do nothing. For all your plans and efforts to produce the desired results, you have to recognize God as your source of success, without whom you are totally useless.

Prayer Point:Father, I proclaim that you are my source. Please help me to always look to you for all my plans in Jesus’ name.

Hymn 1:

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
   Thou Lamb of Calvary,
   Savior divine!
   Now hear me while I pray,
   Take all my guilt away,
   Oh, let me from this day
   Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart
   Strength to my fainting heart,
   My zeal inspire!
   As Thou hast died for me,
   Oh, may my love to Thee
   Pure, warm and changeless be,
   A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
   And griefs around me spread,
   Be Thou my guide;
   Bid darkness turn to day,
   Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
   Nor let me ever stray
   From Thee aside.

Topic: As Your Soul Prospers [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 12 March 2019]

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 2

Once you begin to believe it is God’s will to prosper you, you can’t help but wonder how He is going to do it. Is He going to put a check in the mail? Or start floating $20 bills down from the trees?

No. He’s going to do it by prospering your soul. He’s going to plant the seeds of prosperity in your mind, will and emotions, and as they grow, they’ll produce a great financial harvest.

Go to the book of Genesis and read the story of Joseph. It’s a perfect demonstration of what I’m talking about.

When Joseph was sold as a slave to the Egyptians, he didn’t have a dime to his name. He didn’t even have his freedom. He’d been sold as a slave. But, right in the middle of his slavery, God gave Joseph such wisdom and ability that he made his owner prosper. As a result, the man put Joseph in charge of all his possessions.

Later, Joseph was put in prison. There’s really not much opportunity for advancement in prison, is there? But God gave him insight that no other man in Egypt had. That insight landed him a position on Pharaoh’s staff. Not as a slave but as the most honored man in the entire country next to Pharaoh himself.

He rode along in a chariot and people literally bowed down before him. During a worldwide famine, Joseph was in charge of all the food. Now that’s prosperity!

How did God accomplish all that? By prospering Joseph’s soul. No matter how dismal his situation became, no matter how impossible his problems, God was able to reveal the spiritual secrets that would open the door of success for him.

That’s what makes God’s method of prospering so exciting. It works anywhere and everywhere. It will work in the poorest countries on the face of this earth just like it works here in the United States. And you can be sure that it will work for you!

Scripture Reading: Genesis 39

Topic: God Answers Every Prayer [Andrew Wommack Devotional 12 March 2019]

Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”

Text: Matthew 7:6-8

Prayer which meets the requirements outlined in God’s Word is always answered. Many times we don’t perceive the answer because it always comes in the spiritual realm first before it is manifested in the physical realm. If we waver from our confident faith, then we abort the manifestation of that answer (Jas. 1:6-7; Heb. 10:35). But God did answer. Everyone who asks receives.

In the book of Daniel chapter 9, Daniel prayed a prayer and waited a relatively short period of time to see his answer to prayer. In less than three minutes the angel Gabriel appeared and answered all of his questions.

This same man prayed another prayer in Daniel chapter 10, but this time it took three weeks before he had an angelic messenger come and answer his questions. What was the difference? Most people believe that God answered one prayer in three minutes and the next prayer in three weeks. But Daniel 10:12, says “from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand,…thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.” Satan had hindered the second prayer from reaching Daniel. God was not the variable. God answers every prayer.

This is confirmed in Matthew 7:8, which says that everyone who asks receives, he that seeks will find, to him that knocks it is opened. God answers, but Satan can hinder our prayers in the spiritual realm before they ever physically manifest. If we understand that God gives the answer and that Satan is the one hindering, the truths of these scriptures will encourage us. God does answer prayer.

God is always answering your prayer. If you haven’t seen it manifest, don’t doubt God, but recognize that you’re fighting an enemy, and persevere. Stand on your faith. Pray without ceasing until you see the answer.

Topic: Growing as a Christian [Billy Graham Devotional 12 March 2019]

Dear brothers, I have been talking to you as though you were still just babies in the Christian life . . . —1 Corinthians 3:1 (TLB)

Some people have received Christ but have never reached spiritual maturity. They have been in church all their lives, and yet they have never become mature Christians. They are still considered “spiritual children” and “babes in Christ.” They know little Scripture. They have little desire to pray, and bear few of the marks of a Christian in their daily living. To say, “I will resolve to do better, I will muster all my will power and revise my way of living,” is noble, but futile. A corpse could as well say, “I will-through sheer effort-rise out of this coffin and be a living man again.” You need a power outside yourself. You cannot get over the habits and chains that are binding you. You need outside help. You need Christ.

The Bible tells of a bridge of faith which reaches from the valley of despair to the high hills of glorious hope in Christ. It tells where we are, but beyond that-it tells where we may be in Christ. Now, of course, you will not be completely mature until you are in the presence of Christ, but you should be growing every day as a Christian.

Prayer for the day: Lord, work through me this day, that I might be maturing as a Christian and come to know You better, that I might know Your perfect will for me.
