MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 6 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – A Divine Helper

TOPIC: A Divine Helper (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 6 December 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 5:2-9

MEMORY VERSE: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.” – Psalms 121:1-2

The MESSAGE:

For anyone to prosper in life, he needs a helper. As believers, the Holy Spirit is our ever present helper. The Holy Spirit also orchestrates divine helpers to take us to our places of destiny which God has prepared for us. There is no one in life that does not need help from time to time. No matter your status in the society, you will need one form of help or another at some point in time. However, where you seek help from matters a lot. As a child of God, until you understand and appreciate the fact that your help can only come from above, then you may be swimming in the wrong waters. Many children of God do complicate or compound their problems the more by running helter-skelter to where there is no help. Of course, everyone needs help at some point in time and for diverse reasons. For example:

1. When the battles and issues of life confront you, you will need help.
2. When the challenges of life box you into a corner, and you look at your rear and there is no helper; you look upfront and there is no one to consult; then, it suddenly dawns on you that the only option you have is to look up to God. That is the only place of assurance, which will guarantee authentic help from above.

During Jesus Christ’s ministry here on earth, He came across a man who has had an infirmity and could not walk for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-8). For all of those 38 years, no one could help him until Jesus came his way. In verse 7 of that same Scripture, he told Jesus, “…Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled to put me into the pool, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” This man was handicapped and unable to receive help until Jesus came his way to help him.

What kind of help do you need even now; you need to look up to Jesus (Hebrew 12:12a). He is up above, seated at the right hand side of the Father pleading our cause. Look up to Him today for help and solution to that problem.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
WHEN CHALLENGES OF LIFE BOX YOU TO A CORNER, LOOK UP TO HIM, WHO HAS THE KEY TO UNLOCK YOU.

PROPHETIC WORD:
As the LORD liveth and His Spirit is alive, you will overcome that battle that has been giving you sleepless night.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Any power that has kept me away from my helpers, die, in the name of Jesus.
2. Every wall of partition placed in between me and my helpers, I pull you down, in the name of Jesus.
3. Thou helper of my vision, appear now by fire, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. O Lord, raise the people that will make my vision meaningful for me, in the name of Jesus.
5. O Lord, assign those you will use to elevate me this year, in the name of Jesus.
6. Every evil veil keeping my helpers away from me, be consumed by the fire of God, in the name of Jesus.
7. Anywhere the world has hidden me away from my helpers, O Lord; expose me to them, in the name of Jesus.

MANNA WATER SERVICE SERMON FOR DECEMBER 5TH 2018
MINISTERING: DR D.K. OLUKOYA (General Overseer MFM Worldwide)
TOPIC: CONNECTING TO THE PENTECOSTAL POWER
TEXT: Luke 24:29, Acts 1:8

INTRODUCTION
There is a power from above, different from the power from the moon, from the water etc.
It is a power from above, it is a power in which every other power bow before.
There is a principle, when there is a smaller power, automatically, the bigger power must overshadow it.
It is a tragedy from Christianity that we have not receive the power from above.

The demonstration of this power was NOT only kept to the prophet. That is why Jesus said “Have ye not know that ye are gods; that is why the king of Kings and Lord of Lords but the problem is we are not connected to the power. Unfortunately, only few people demonstrate the power of God.

That is why even some pastors go to witch doctor or magicians to receive power for miracles. The reason why we have all this pastors is because even the congregation are not connected to the power of God, that is why most people have been enslave by some men of God

Until a level of power fall on you, you cannot rise to another level you want, some people are operating under the deficit but they need a power to move them from the dungeon to the palace. Some people are Gold minded that whatsoever they place their hands on will prosper but when that same fellow is cage, then they will be staying in the dunghill instead of staying in the palace, that is why some Christians are afraid because they are powerless afraid of demonic charms

“The signs of Christianity is not a cross, the signs of Christianity is the tongues of fire”. If you claim the signs of Christianity is the cross, Jesus has left there a long time ago
The bible did not put us in the darkness, it was only in the Old Testament that the prophets alone experience the power, today everybody must possess his power.
The in-fill of the Holy Ghost is the source of power. Everybody is covered to prophesy (more than before, we need to connect to the Pentecostal power).

– This is the power that cannot be reproach,
– Insulted
– That make way where there is no way
– That conquers all opposition
– That returns all arrows to the owner
– That remove trouble situation
– That makes progress inevitable
– That do great wonders
– That makes your enemy to work for you
– That divides the red sea effortlessly
– That disgraces and silence idol worshippers
– That brings dry bones to live

TO GET CONNECTED TO THE PENTECOSTAL POWER
– You need to become a friend of Jesus
– Confess all sins
– Cry out to receive the power

PRAYER POINT
1. Pentecostal power, i am available, overshadow my life, in the name of Jesus
2. Holy ghost, turn me to fire, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: Ignorant? [Open Heavens for Teens 6 December 2018]

Memorise: How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Proverbs 1:22

Read: Proverbs 1:22-23 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Daniel 7-8, 1 John 5

MESSAGE:

In His letter to the church at Smyrna, the Lord said He was aware of their poverty, yet they were rich. This could mean several things. It could mean that they were impoverished because they did not know that they were rich. In any case ignorance was a crucial factor. Even today, many believers are living below Heaven’s level of provision because they do not know what is due to them. Hence Hosea 4:6 says many are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

The Word of God contains virtually all truths to guide us into success in every area of life, but how many people devote time to study the Bible and internalise it? Knowledge is power. Knowledge is a key to life. The more of it you have, the more you can get out of life. Anyone who refuses to acquire knowledge is only limiting what he or she can get from life. What you don’t know can kill you; have you learnt all you need to know to achieve your spiritual, financial and academic goals?

Key Point: The more you know, the less limited you become. In all your getting get wisdom.

Hymn 9:

1. I am so glad that our Father in heaven
Tells of His love in the book He has given;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

Chorus
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus love me;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.

2. Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me whenever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.

3. Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”

Topic: Lonely Christmas [Our Daily Bread 6 December 2018 Devotional]

Read: Psalm 25:14–22, Bible in a Year: Daniel 3–4; 1 John 5

My eyes are ever on the Lord. Psalm 25:15

The loneliest Christmas I ever spent was in my grandfather’s cottage near Sakogu, northern Ghana. I was just fifteen, and my parents and siblings were a thousand kilometers away. In previous years, when I’d been with them and my village friends, Christmas was always big and memorable. But this Christmas was quiet and lonely. As I lay on my floor mat early Christmas morning, I remembered a local song: The year has ended; Christmas has come; the Son of God is born; peace and joy to everybody. Mournfully, I sang it over and over.

My grandmother came and asked, “What song is that?” My grandparents didn’t know about Christmas—or about Christ. So I shared what I knew about Christmas with them. Those moments brightened my loneliness.

Alone in the fields with only sheep and occasional predators, the shepherd boy David experienced loneliness. It would not be the only time. Later in his life he wrote, “I am lonely and afflicted” (Psalm 25:16). But David didn’t allow loneliness to cause him to be despondent. Instead, he sang: “My hope, Lord, is in you” (v. 21).

From time to time we all face loneliness. Wherever Christmas may find you this year, in loneliness or in companionship, you can enjoy the season with Christ.

Prayer: Lord, thank You that with You I’m not alone even in my times of loneliness. This Christmas, help me to enjoy my fellowship with You and to reach out to others.

With Jesus at Christmas, we’re never alone.

INSIGHT
Psalm 25 is a prayer for and celebration of God’s guidance—extended to anyone willing to humbly learn from Him (vv. 5, 8–9, 12). Even the structure of this psalm as an acrostic poem (each line sequentially following the Hebrew alphabet) reinforces this emphasis on learning from God, since the structure was often chosen for its helpfulness in memorization.

The psalm’s theme of worship as a lifestyle of learning from God is also captured by the words “put my trust” in verse 1—more literally, “lift up my soul” (nrsv; “soul” referring to all of oneself, both body and spirit). The image, alluding to the worship posture of uplifted hands, offers a beautiful picture of walking with God: we honestly lift up before Him all of ourselves and our struggles, while continually waiting with open, trusting hands to receive all we need from our loving, gracious God (vv. 15–18, 20–21).
