MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 25 November 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Divine Power That Changes Rules

TOPIC: Divine Power That Changes Rules (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 25 November 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Joshua 10:11-14

MEMORY VERSE: “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” – Exodus 14:14

The MESSAGE:

Rules are principles or regulations governing conduct, action, procedure and arrangement, etc., of a group of people. There are also rules (sometimes called laws) of nature, which are original, fundamental, native and at times customary. The laws of nature are fixed. For example, whatever goes up must come down; this is called the law of gravity. It is also natural law that the sun and the moon must be up at different times to carry out their natural activities. Ordinarily, you do not disobey or change the laws or rules on your own will and go scot-free. The devil himself has a “legal” backing to attack you at such times. Therefore, to change the rules is to break the law. It is acting against constituted authority. It amounts to bending the laid down rule. The question now is, can an ordinary man break or reverse natural law?

The answer is No. But when a man is backed by the power of God, he can break any law. Satan breaks laws and rules and the consequence of this, of course, is eternal destruction. There are, however situations that a man will find himself, and God, the Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, the creator of everything can decide to suspend the rules. From the Fire Scripture, Joshua was in circumstances that needed the sun and the moon to stand still and the Lord suspended the laws guiding the sun and the moon. They stood still until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Therefore, only God has the supernatural power to change or suspend rules. By the resurrection power of God, the rule of death was suspended at the tomb of Lazarus.

Beloved, many rules are restricting the people of God from moving forward. Instead of complaining, we only need to call on God that has the power to change rules to arise on our behalf. We have prayer of “whether I deserve it or not” as one of the prayers that change laws or rules. There are positions one cannot attain by the standards and laws of man, but with God, a person considered not qualified can get there. There are levels a man may seem not to be able to attain due to his family foundation and background, but with God, the foundation will be corrected and the person gets to the level.

For rules to be changed or suspended for your sake, so as to break all hurdles of life, you must be prayerful, be available for God’s use like Joshua and render quality service and praise to God. Is there any law working against you? Are you being limited or relegated or declared unqualified in the place of your heart’s desire? The good news is that the rules can be changed. Ask for the power. Have you been told that after the age of menopause, no conception, or is there any other medical law limiting you? This morning stand up and pray for God to change every law hindering the manifestation of your miracles.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
EVERYTHING GOD DOES IS ACCORDING TO A PATTERN AND BASED ON A PRINCIPLE OF HIS KINGDOM.

PROPHETIC WORD:
For you to manifest and shine, the sun and the moon shall stand still for your sake.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Every power relying on any law or rules to enforce affliction upon my life, I nullify you, in Jesus’ name.
2. Every plan and evil imagination against my advancement, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Resurrection of affliction and repeated problems in my life, die, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. Every law of hindrance assigned against my moving forward, break by fire, in Jesus’ name.
5. Every rule of stagnancy assigned against my promotion, break by fire, in Jesus’ name.
6. Every man made constitution that is saying ‘No’ to my bright future, be reversed, in the name of Jesus.
7. O Lord my Father, change whatever needs to be changed for my life to move forward, in the name of Jesus.

Topic: Mistakes in Your Favour [Teens Open Heavens 25 November 2018]

Memorise: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? James 2:4

Read: Galatians 1:23-24 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 34-35, 1 Peter 2

MESSAGE:

The mistakes of your past can play a part in God’s plan for your life if you let Him handle them. Some of us are good Christians today because of certain errors we made in the past. The reason I cling to God persistently is because I know there is no real alternative to Him, so even when I make a mistake I immediately return to God, ask for His mercy, learn from that mistake and resolve never to make such mistake again; it is when you have this attitude to mistakes that your mistakes will eventually be in your favour.

Also Read: Open Heaven 25 November 2018 – Mercy versus Judgement

When you make mistakes, what do you do? Do you accept your mistakes or try to explain it away? Some even shift the blame and allow other people to take the consequences of their mistakes. You can’t genuinely go to God and ask for His mercy if you do not accept that you have made a mistake. Do you learn from your mistakes? In every mistakes there is a lesson to be learnt, and if you don’t learn that lesson, you will surely make that mistake again. Making mistakes isn’t usually the problem, what you do after the mistake is made is the real issue. What do you do when you make mistakes? Be wise.

Key Point: When you make a mistake, consciously and carefully list out the decisions you made that led to that mistake. Make sure the mistake isn’t repeated.

Topic: Consecrated For Life [DCLM Daily Manna 25 November 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Numbers 6:1-12 (KJV)

Key Verse: “All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD“ (Numbers 6:8).

MESSAGE:

It is amazing how God demonstrates His love and affinity for fellowship with an earthen vessel like man. Encouraging also is how God would like to pour His Spirit, power and presence into His chosen human vessel. A typical example of this kind of choice and affection is found in Samson, the military judge of Israel. He was consecrated for life as a Nazarite right from the womb by the Almighty God to fight His enemies and deliver Israel from Philistine bondage.

Every consecrated man or woman in Israel observed some strict rules according to the Mosaic Law. Such individuals must not indulge their appetite in any alcoholic beverages (Numbers 1:34). They were required not to shave their hair – a unique look that distinguished them from others and they were not to touch or come close to any dead body no matter how close such might be to them. These rules are visible signs of the Nazarene’s separation and willingness to bear the burden for Jehovah.

Today, we have a perfect example of a truly consecrated life in Jesus, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens (Hebrews 7:26). God calls His children to total consecration in this new dispensation. Attaining the spiritual heights is now possible through the all-sufficient grace of Christ, which we obtain when we accept Him as Lord and Saviour, believe His word and remain connected to Him for a lifetime.

Living a truly consecrated life is the standard experience that God calls every believer into now and always. We cannot afford to fall short of it. We must maintain our consecration in Christ to the uttermost.

Thought For The Day: To be fit for heaven, you must consecrate all to Christ today.

Topic: The Termination of Captivity [Seeds of Destiny 25 November 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. Acts 16:26

Thought For The Day: Every captivity is terminate-able by the power of God.

The Power of God is the terminator of all forms of human captivity. The release of God’s Power is the liberation of man.

A woman once testified in our church of how God delivered her from the spirit of masturbation. Before the deliverance, she always found herself in the dream surrounded by hefty dogs that would not allow her to move. These hefty dogs established her in the doggish and immoral prison of masturbation for eighteen years until she encountered the Power of God in one of our church services.

There are many people today who are in diverse captivities and imprisonments in life: captivity of alcoholism, tobacco smoking, immorality, barrenness, prolonged singleness, poverty, marital crisis, etc.

But the good news is, every captivity is terminate-able by the power of God.

Now, let me show you how the Power of God deals with captivities:
1. The Power of God shakes or destroys the foundation of prisons (Acts 16:26). Every prison has a foundation; there is something strengthening or supporting its existence. The power of God destroys this foundation.

2. The Power of God forces open prison doors.
In Acts 16:26, the Bible says, ‘…immediately all doors were opened….’ So, Prison has doors; and the doors of prison can be forced opened for the captive to come out by the Power of God.

Today, I declare to you by the mantle of God upon my life: wherever the devil has kept you in life, there is a way out for you now. You are coming out, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Every captivity is terminate-able by the power of God.

Assignments:
1. Make demands on God to reveal and destroy every foundation of evil sponsoring the challenges in your life.
2. Abide in the atmosphere of God’s Presence consistently; in His Presence is His power.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE TERMINATION OF CAPTIVITIES

Prayer: Lord, I make demands on the termination of every captivity around my life and family. I refuse to be a victim of any form of captivity, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

Daily Bible Reading: Daniel 1:1 to 2:23, 1 Peter 3:8 to 4:6, Psalm 119:65 to 80, Proverbs 28:14

Quote: Whenever God is beginning to show you what is wrong, do not be agitated. The power to handle it is inside the revelation. Culled from UNVEILING AND DISSOLVING MYSTERIES by Dr Paul Enenche.

Amazing Fact: Some dogs can smell dead bodies under water.

Today In History: 25/11/1915 – Albert Einstein presents the field equations of general relativity to the Prussian Academy of Sciences.

Prophetic Parental Blessing: Every battle that followed you from the womb of your mother, today is the end of that battle, in Jesus’ Name!

Topic: Quiet Witness [Our Daily Bread 25 November 2018 Devotional]

Read: 1 Peter 2:11–21, Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 24–26; 1 Peter 2

Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. 1 Peter 2:12 nlt

Amy lives in a closed country where it’s forbidden to preach the gospel. She’s a trained nurse who works in a big hospital, caring for newborn babies. She’s such a committed professional that her work stands out, and many women are curious about her. They are moved to ask her questions in private. It’s then that Amy shares about her Savior openly.

Because of her good work, some co-workers were envious and accused her of stealing some medicine. Her superiors didn’t believe them, and authorities eventually found the culprit. This episode led some of her fellow nurses to ask about her faith. Her example reminds me of what Peter says: “Dear friends . . . . Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God” (1 Peter 2:11–12 nlt).

Our everyday lives at home, in our work environment, or at school make an impact on others when we let God work in us. We’re surrounded by people who are watching the way we speak and behave. Let’s depend on God and have Him rule our actions and thoughts. Then we’ll influence those who don’t believe and this may lead some of them to turn in faith to Jesus.

Prayer: Father, help me to live in such a way that Your name will be honored wherever I go.

Our lives speak louder than our words.

Insight:
Being misunderstood or falsely accused is inevitable in a broken world. But in those vulnerable moments, Peter argues, it’s especially crucial for believers to strive to follow Christs example of responding to suffering with love rather than lashing out (1 Peter 2:12, 21). “Submitting” to those with power (v. 13) doesn’t mean blind obedience, but rather letting go of our natural desire to control or overpower others. And as we fearlessly display Christ’s love and the ways of our Lord’s kingdom (vv. 13, 16), God may even use us to guide others to His love.

Open Heaven 25 November 2018 Sunday Daily Devotional by Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Mercy versus Judgement

Topic: Mercy versus Judgement (Open Heaven 25 November 2018)

Memorise: “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”- Proverbs 29:1

Read: Psalm 103:17-22 (KJV)

17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 27-28, John 3:1-21

Open Heaven 25 November 2018 Sunday MESSAGE:

Our God is a holy God. At the same time, He is Love. From time to time, the holiness of God and the love of God may clash. His holiness will direct Him to go one way while His love will direct Him to go the other way. These two divine attributes may therefore seem to be at odds with each other. When the love of God wins we obtain mercy, but when His holiness triumphs, we get judgement. Many times, God’s holiness deliberately allows His love to keep winning. Why? Because it knows that it is already settled that without holiness, no man shall see God (Hebrews 12:14). Our deeds often deserve God’s judgement, but the love of God triumphs, and we obtain mercy. One thing is certain: it is because the love of God wins that we are able to see another day. Thank God for His mercies, because they are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Love is optimistic, always saying to God, “Don’t lose hope in him; he will get better; let’s give him another day to repent and become holy.” However, a day will come when God’s judgement will take its course.

On the basis of the scripture that says “the mercy of God endures forever”, some people make several ridiculous claims. Some of them say “I can do whatever I like; the mercy of God that has helped me thus far will keep forgiving me forever.” Some even prepare their confessional plea before they commit sin! They say to God, “Please forgive me for this lie I am about to tell.” Such people are only deceiving themselves. The fact that God’s love grants us access to His mercy does not mean that God is stupid. Yes, the mercy of God endures forever, but not for those who do not fear Him. Psalm 103:17-18 says:

“17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; 18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.”

Those who fear God are wise enough to know that any pleasure derived from sin is actually poisoned. If you fear Him, you will know that although He is a very good friend, He can also be a very dangerous enemy. If He decides to fight you, no one can rescue you from His hands. It is folly for a child to keep annoying his or her father just because he or she was forgiven yesterday. One day, the father will turn to that child with a rod, and because the child has been steadily building up annoyance in the heart of the father, that rod will do some serious havoc. I pray that God will touch your heart and take away every appetite for sin in Jesus’ Name.

Open Heaven 25 November 2018 Sunday Prayer Point:

Father, please give me a heart of flesh that yields to your corrections in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Stir Up the Power [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 25 November 2018]

Greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears…. I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you…. For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. – 2 Timothy 1:4,6-7, New King James Version

There are times when you know what God has called you to do, but you just don’t feel you have the inner resources you need to do it. Somehow you’ve simply run dry. You know the Word says that “out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). But, during those times, you can’t even find the creek bank, much less the river.

The Word of God tells us how to handle those situations through a clear command: “Stir up the gift inside you.”

You stir yourself up! Everything you need is already in you. Jesus put it there. Everything you’ll ever need to accomplish what God has called you to do has been placed inside you by God Almighty.

Faith is in there. Power is in there. Love is in there. Believe that. Speak it out. Say it to yourself now, right out loud:

“In the Name of Jesus, I stir up the gift that’s within me by faith. I’m stirring up my faith. I’m not going to wait until I feel stirred up. I’m stepping out by faith and expecting my feelings to follow!

“I’m stirring up the love of God that’s in me. I’m stirring up the power. I’m stirring up myself and running the devil out of my affairs. I’m stirring myself up in the Spirit of the living God! I am stirred up!”

Topic: Seek Greater Revelation [Andrew Wommack Devotional 25 November 2018]

John 18:20 “Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.”

The truths of God are hidden for His children, not from them. The Holy Spirit has been instructed to teach us all things (Jn. 14:26) and has given us an unction so that we will know all things (1 Jn. 2:20). We only have to appropriate what is ours.

What God desires His New Testament saints to know, that the Old Testament saints could not know, is “Christ in you the hope of glory.” The coming of the Messiah was predicted in the Old Testament, but the idea that He would actually dwell in us was beyond anyone’s imagination. However, the New Testament is clear that Christ, by the Holy Spirit, takes up permanent residence in all believers. This is a wonderful truth that some fail to fully appreciate. Solomon said at the dedication of the temple, “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?” We could say, “How much less this physical body?” This is truly amazing!

The Lord’s commitment to dwell in us and never leave us or forsake us (Heb. 13:5), must be taken as an indication of His great love for us. If we continually thought upon this, with all its implications, how could we ever be lonely or discouraged? We couldn’t! Depression and self-pity would cease!

Why would it matter what others thought of us if we truly understood how much Jesus thought of us?

Our attitudes and fears reveal that this revelation of “Christ in us” is not a well established revelation in most Christians. However, this verse makes it clear that our Father wants to make “the riches of the glory of this mystery” known unto us. We should all be seeking a greater revelation of this truth.

Topic: Whose Son Is He? [Billy Graham Devotional 25 November 2018]

To us there is but one God, the Father . . . and one Lord Jesus Christ . . . — 1 Corinthians 8:6

Ultimately, in one way or another, or at one time or another, we shall be faced with this question: What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? If Jesus Christ is not who He claimed to be, He is a deceiver, or an egomaniac. We must answer this question with both belief and action. We must not only believe something about Jesus, but we must do something about Him. We must accept Him, or reject Him.

Jesus made clear who He was, and why He came into the world. He asked His disciples, “Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?” They told Him of a variety of designations on the human level. Then Jesus turned to them and asked, “But whom say ye that I am?” Whereupon Peter replied with his historic affirmation, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:13-16).

This is the apex of faith. This is the pinnacle of belief. This is where the faith of each must rest if he hopes for salvation. Christ is inescapable! You, too, must decide, “What shall I do with Christ?”

Prayer for the day: You are the Christ, Lord Jesus, Son of the living God! In adoration I worship You—my Redeemer.
