MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 6 March 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – My Cape of Financial Good Hope

TOPIC: My Cape of Financial Good Hope (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 6 March 2019)

Bible In One Year: Numbers 35-36; Mark 10:1-31

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Nahum 1:3-7

MEMORY VERSE: “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:” – 2 Peter 1:3

The MESSAGE:

Somewhere at the Southern tip of Africa, a massive land projects into the area. It was once a cause of anxiety to sailors who tried to sail there with their ships. This was because very adverse weather conditions and storms prevailed there. Therefore, that place was called Cape of Storms. A Portuguese Captain resolved to find a safe route through those treacherous storms so that his people in Europe could reach the East Indies safely to trade with the people there. This would save money and time and it was shorter than the other route, through the Mediterranean Sea. The Captain succeeded and renamed the area the Cape of Good Hope.

We all have financial storms one time or another in our journey through life such as lack of money to eat, lack of money for the children’s education, lack of money to build one’s house, lack of money to own a car, lack of money to invest in business or to save and so on.

The storms should not be a thing of worry to genuine Christians because our God had created a safe passage through the storms of life for His children. The Bible says, “The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in storms” (Nahum 1:3). This means He always has a safe passage in every storm of life.

Hugh Stowell, a song writer, says in one of his songs, “From every stormy wind that blows, from every swelling tide of woes, there is a calm, a sure retreat, t’is found beneath the mercy seat”. This means God is our shelter in the storms of life.

God willingly and happily does many good things for His children. Many of them we do not know, like how we fall asleep and wake up. God does these things to manifest His love for us. The Bible says “He has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness”. (2 Peter 1:3). If we look closely at this text, we will see that God is “not giving” (present tense), “will give” (future tense) but “has given” (past tense). This can only mean that all we need to live a prosperous and righteous life has already been given to us through Jesus Christ. God’s gifts and promises to His children are always conditional.

So, what must we do in order to have a safe passage through financial storms and be blessed with prosperous life?

1. Repent from your sins and ask for forgiveness.
2. Live a transparent life.
3. Give alms and help poor brethren.
4. Pray and read your Bible daily.
5. Pay your tithes and offerings and first fruit regularly.

God bless you as you do these things, in Jesus’ name.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
THERE IS NO LACK FOR THOSE WHO OBEY THE FINANCIAL LAWS OF GOD.

PROPHETIC WORD:
You will never lack any good thing in your life.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Financial storms in my life, cease, in the name of Jesus.
2. My tithes, usher me into prosperity, in the name of Jesus.
3. My offerings, refuse the spirit of poverty, in the name of Jesus.
   EVENING
4. Financial storms, sweep away the enemies of my prosperity, in the name of Jesus.
5. Yoke of lack, break, in the name of Jesus.
6. I oppress poverty with my tithes and offerings, in the name of Jesus.
7. My tithes and offerings, bring me bountiful harvest, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: The Log in Your Eye [Open Heavens for Teens 6 March 2019]

Memorise: “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam of thine own eye: then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” – Matthew 7:5

Read: Matthew 7:1-5

1.Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2.For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3.And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4.Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5.Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 1-2, Mark 11:1-19

MESSAGE:

It is hypocrisy to ask someone to do something that you yourself are not doing. Before you correct someone, check that you are not also doing the same thing that you are asking the person to stop. Many at times, people are quick to correct others or even report them to a higher authority, whereas they are themselves guilty of what they are making a fuss about. This kind of attitude is very much to your detriment because when you correct or report someone for doing something bad, you are helping them to change and become better, but if you neglect your own shortcomings, then you will only be getting worse. Also, because you have been the one reporting people, you will start looking for ways to hide your wrong as it will be shameful to also be caught doing the same thing. The more you hide it, the more it grows and causes more damage, so the best thing to do is just to correct yourself and at least, work on changing first before you go around correcting other people.

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper”

Action Point: Ask three godly people today what they you should change about yourself and start working on changing those things.

Hymn 2:

1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus:
Trust and obey, for theres no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4. But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Topic: A Heart of Belief [Billy Graham Devotional 6 March 2019]

If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. — Romans 10:9

The heart is the blood-pump of the body. It is also used metaphorically when we speak of affections and feelings. Since it is the central organ of the body and one of the most vital, the Bible speaks of it as the wellspring of life. Hence, it is used synonymously with “life.” When the Bible says, “Son, give me thine heart,” it doesn’t mean that we are to cut out our actual hearts and give them to God. It means that we are to give Him our lives, our all. When we come to Christ, we are not only to give intellectual assent with our minds, we are to “believe in our hearts.” We can believe in the historic Jesus, but if we have “saving faith” our belief must involve our whole being. When we believe with all our hearts, the will, the emotions, and the intellect are surrendered to Christ.

Prayer for the day: Lord, I believe and rejoice in the knowledge that You are alive and my Redeemer!

Topic: Victory – A Provision [Andrew Wommack Devotional 6 March 2019]

Matthew 6:13, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen.”

Text: Matthew 6:9-13

A temptation can be a difficult situation or a pressure. Contrary to popular belief, God is not the source of our temptation (Jas. 1:13). When we are under pressure, it is important to realize that God is not trying to entrap us. Satan is called the tempter (Mt. 4:3; 1 Th. 3:5). Then why did Jesus instruct us to pray that the Father would not lead us into temptation? This was simply a request for guidance so that we could be delivered from evil.

Jesus himself was tempted by Satan (Mt. 4, Lk. 4). He trusted God fully for provision, protection, and purpose. The Father would no more lead us into temptation than He would withhold our daily bread. But as stated in James 4:2, “Ye have not because ye ask not.” Both “give us our daily bread” and “lead us not into temptation” are simply requests for what has already been provided for us. This part of prayer serves as a reminder to us of God’s promised protection (Ps. 91) and gives us an opportunity to release our faith and appropriate what has already been provided.

“No temptation has seized you but such as is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it” (1 Cor. 10:13 NIV). The victory demonstrated by Jesus is available to us. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:57). He has given it to you. Believe and receive it.
