MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 12 November 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – The Mystery Of Evil Altars

TOPIC: The Mystery Of Evil Altars (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 12 November 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:10-12

MEMORY VERSE: “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” – Luke 10:19

The MESSAGE:

In the Fire Scripture, there are four categories in the realm of darkness (i) Principalities, (ii) Powers, (iii) Rulers of the darkness of this world and (iv) Spiritual wickedness in high places. In hierarchy, the “Powers” are next to the “Principalities”. They are transcendental and terrestrial spirits. That is, they can be found in the second heaven and on earth. They are called smaller gods, and they can be carved, molded, or built and worshipped by people. They are idols that people worship all over the world. They are the ancestral spirits and idols. These powerful demons are ten (10) in number. They are equal in rank but have different responsibilities. They are the brain behind every evil altar. They enforce whatever instruction the priest at their evil altar pronounces. These priests are part of the human rulers of darkness of this world that work for these powers.

Beloved, these powers are the ones in charge of every evil covenant made through blood, food, sexual immorality, dance, charms, sacrifices, amulets and so on. They have local names in every language, for example, Ogun, Sango, Amadioha and so on. Biblically, their names include: Asteroth, Gog, Magog, Baal, Asmodee, Mammon, etc. Every Idol worshipped at any evil altar is supervised by an evil priest who is also among them. For example, Ogun has biblical resemblance to the idol of Magog. Obviously, these evil powers seek man’s worship in order to insult God. These powers got connected to us through our forefathers who worshiped them at the altar they created for worshipping them. Priests are usually appointed, empowered and assigned to influence people to worship them directly or indirectly.

In most cases, only the priest can see them and communicate with them. They are active; they are in authority, and they have symbols and materials for sacrifices. For example, dogs are sacrificed and used to worship Ogun. If there is anybody in a lineage who refuses to worship them, these powers make desperate attempts to steal their valuables and also frustrate their activities.

Once, a young girl of 16 years old had a dream. In the dream, she ran to an old altar sweating and ransacking the altar, looking for something so precious to her. Unfortunately, she did not find it before she woke up. Her parents were ignorant about dealing with this type of dream, so, the young girl suffered some avoidable delays in her academics until the necessary prayers/deliverance were carried out. These powers also attempt to cause affliction, putting families in bondage up to at least fourth generation. They cause poverty, sicknesses, accidents, mental frustration, barrenness, financial setbacks, attacks and untimely deaths. Beloved, are you experiencing any challenges in your business, career, marriage etc.? You need to pray and pull down their altars, destroy the priest, and pray for a complete restoration.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
EVERY BLACK MAN HAS A FOUNDATIONAL IDOL. THE DECISION TO BE DELIVERED FROM THIS BONDAGE DEPENDS SOLELY ON THE ATTEMPTS MADE TO DESTROY THEIR ACTIVITIES.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Every ancestral altar prepared for you by your ancestors, calling for your worship, shall crumble.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Father, we thank You for giving us the weapon to fight all battles, in the name of Jesus.
2. You stubborn ancestral idols of my father’s house that is following me, I refuse to worship you, die, in Jesus’ name.
3. Any ancestral power, enjoying what I am supposed to enjoy, your time is up, release them and die, in Jesus’ name.

EVENING
4. Every arrow of disgrace, targeted at me by any ancestral demon because I am born again, backfire, in Jesus’ name.
5. Ancestral queen or king in my father’s house that is claiming to be my wife/husband, I divorce and reject you, in the name of Jesus.
6. You the chief priest in charge of the altar of my father’s house, your time is up, die, in Jesus’ name.
7. Any ancestral power behind my family altar, that has been using my virtues, potential, destiny, star, and glory to shine and reign in the spiritual world, die, in Jesus’ name.

Topic: The Fire We Need [DCLM Daily Manna 12 November 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Acts 13:1-12 (KJV)

Key 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).

MESSAGE:

The remedy for a church that would budge is FIRE – the Holy Ghost fire. Have you ever watched a little boy try to get a big old turtle to move? The more he coaxes it, the slower it goes. He then gets a stick and tries to club it. What does the turtle do? It just pulls its head, feet and tail inside its shell for a spell. It just sits there. The little boy gets one corner of the old turtle and props it up with a stick. Then runs to get some matches. He lights the match and holds it under the old turtle. Immediately, things will start happening. If you think a turtle can’t go fast, light up a match stick under Brother Turtle and watch him fly.

In the text, the Holy Ghost gave Barnabas and Saul a special mandate (Acts 13:2). So, they being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed for the assignment. At Paphos, they met a sorcerer, false prophet and Jew, who attempted to withstand them and the salvation of the deputy. Then Saul, filled with the power of the Holy Ghost, cast blindness on him. The deputy believed and was astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

The promised power of the Holy Ghost is given by God the Father to the believer who is thirsty. Christ told the disciples about the promise of the Father while He was with them. The point is, as a believer, there are certain revelations you will never receive and impartations you will never get until the Spirit of God comes into your life.

As a sanctified believer who wants to be extraordinary in the hands of the Almighty, you need the Spirit’s power and fire in your life. Desire, pray earnestly for it and watch it overwhelm you, like the disciples in Christ’s day. With this fire, you will truly begin to enjoy your relationship with God in the fullness of the Spirit.

Thought For The Day: Fire sets ablaze; get baptised in the Holy Ghost.

Bible Reading In One Year: Matthew 27; Mark 15

Topic: The Influential Power of the Blessing [Seeds of Destiny 12 November 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth…Genesis 9:1-2

Thought For The Day: The Blessing of God makes a person a force to reckon with.

The Blessing of God is a depository of power and influence. That is why a blessed man or woman is man or woman of power and influence. For instance, wherever a prominent person is needed for consultation or support before a major decision is taken, it is a blessed person that fills the space.

The Blessing imparts the supernatural force that positions people for generational influence and impact. When God said to Adam, ‘…replenish the earth’ (Genesis 1:28), it means, ‘…influence and impact your world.’ When a person is blessed, he cannot be an onlooker in life because the Blessing of God makes one a force to reckon with.

Beloved, when the Blessing is on you, it makes you a generational influencer like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If you are blessed, you cannot pass through this world and your generation claims ignorance of your existence, whatever be your profession or calling.

Now, I want you to take note of the following key thoughts on the Blessing:
1. The Blessing is necessary for existence as a generational space occupier.
2. The Blessing processes the blessed into a generational problem solver and solution provider.
3. The Blessing causes the blessed to exist as a difference maker (Genesis 30:27-30, Genesis 39:5).

Today, I declare that you shall influence and impact your generation for God, in Jesus’ Name. You are blessed!

Remember this: the Blessing of God makes a person a force to reckon with.

Assignments:
1. Make up mind to influence and impact your generation for God.
2. Develop the mentality of always providing solution and meeting needs; be an asset, not a liability to your generation.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE POWER OF THE BLESSING

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your Blessing upon my life. Father, by this Blessing, make me a generational influencer for Your glory, in Jesus’ Name.

Daily Reading: Ezekiel 27:1 to 28:26, Hebrews 11:17 to 31, Psalm 111:1 to 10, Proverbs 27:15 to 16

Topic: Open the Flow [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 12 November 2018]

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. – Hebrews 12:1-2

Disciplining the flesh. For many believers that phrase stirs memories of frustration and failure. They know it’s important—the Word of God clearly teaches that. But they’re not sure exactly how to go about it.

Some have given up, shrugging off such discipline as impossible. Others are still fighting stubbornly to get their flesh under control—and losing one battle after another.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, we can’t afford to let it be that way. It will cost us too much.

You and I are blessed to be part of the generation that will see the signs and wonders which the prophets of old wished they could have lived long enough to see. We will witness the Spirit of God poured out upon all flesh. But sin hinders the Spirit’s flow. And only as we rid ourselves of it will the power and glory of God be manifest through us. Only then will we experience the glorious things that are prophesied to take place in our generation.

So put your past failure behind you. Make up your mind that you’re not going to let the sins of the flesh rob you of the glory of God. It is possible to step out of the sin you’ve struggled with so long and live under the Spirit’s control. Look to Jesus…He will show you how.

Topic: Walk In The Light [Andrew Wommack Devotional 12 November 2018]

Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

How do you walk in the Spirit? The way you do this is through living by, conducting your actions according to, and following the leading of the Word of God as quickened to you by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit and the Word of God agree perfectly because the Holy Spirit is the one who inspired the written Word of God.

Denying the flesh will not result in walking in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit will result in denying the flesh. This may seem like a subtle difference to some, but the difference is truly profound. As a whole, false religions teach that as we overcome our flesh, there is a noticeable increase in the presence and power of God in our lives. That was what the Pharisees of Jesus’ day and the legalistic Jews of Paul’s day taught. Just the opposite is true. As we experience more of the presence and power of the Spirit of God, then the influence of the flesh is diminished. Victory must come in this order. We don’t walk in the Spirit as a result of overcoming the flesh, rather overcoming the flesh is the result of walking in the Spirit.

It’s similar to how you fill a dark room with light. You don’t shovel out the darkness and then light appears. No! You simply turn on the light and the darkness flees. Much of religion preaches to stop sinning (get rid of the darkness) and then the Holy Spirit will come and empower you (the light will come). That’s not the way it works. Man can no more get rid of the power of the flesh on his own than he can get rid of the power of darkness without light. We have to receive the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives by grace and then the union with the Holy Spirit breaks the power of the flesh. The key to breaking the dominion of the flesh is to appropriate the power of the Spirit through faith, while the flesh is still causing us problems. Those who are waiting for the Spirit to manifest after they have subdued the flesh, will wait as long as the man who is trying to get rid of the darkness so the light will appear.

Topic: Good Things Are Costly [Billy Graham Devotional 12 November 2018 ]

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. — John 16:33

You should not expect the easy way, for if you do you are certainly destined for disappointment. Any person who knows the Bible knows that the Christian life is likened to an athletic contest or to warfare, and neither one is easy. Jesus warned His followers to count carefully the cost, and that certainly does not speak of an easy way. But there is no good thing that comes without cost.

The Christian life is the most satisfying, but only when we actually go all out and all the way. It is the Christian who tries to compromise who finds life miserable, for he has all the problems, without the fellowship that comes through surrender. For every trial and test, Christ supplies an abundance of grace with which to bear it, and in our weakness we are made strong.

Prayer for the day: Let me never look for the easy way when You, Lord Jesus, gave everything for me.

Open Heaven 12 November 2018 Monday Daily Devotional by Pastor E A Adeboye – Keep your Children Alive!

Topic: Keep your Children Alive! (Open Heaven 12 November 2018)

Memorise: “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.”- Exodus 20:12

Read: Proverbs 3:1-8 (KJV)

1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Bible in One Year: Lamentations 3-5, Luke 20:27-21:4

Open Heaven 12 November 2018 Monday MESSAGE:

It is very unfortunate that many parents are the architects of the untimely demise of their children; not because they are witches or sorcerers, but because they are ignorant of God’s word that keeps people, especially innocent children, alive. The word of God in today’s memory verse is food for thought in this regard. At the initial stage of a child’s life, he or she is ignorant of this scripture; it is therefore the duty of parents to teach them the way of the Lord established in the word of God. It however becomes a compound problem when parents themselves don’t know the way of the Lord. Parents should serve as the voice of God in their children’s lives. Godly parents will echo the words of the Lord in Proverbs 3:5-6, which says:

“5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

It is saddening to observe that instead of parents teaching their children to trust in the Lord their Maker, they rather teach them to trust in the knowledge derived from the education they spend fortune to acquire. Some parents even see their children as being wiser than them, simply because these children can relate better with modern gadgets and appliances. Although these appliances can be deployed to serve beneficial purposes, they often mislead and introduce children to emotional, psychological and even spiritual trauma when the use of such devices by these children is not monitored and controlled. Some people read about Eli and his children but don’t seem to learn from it (1 Samuel 2:11-4:18). Many parents are carefree when it comes to discipline, allowing their children to walk directly onto the path of destruction. The Lord was so grieved by the act of Eli’s children that He declared this frightening judgement on Eli’s household in 1 Samuel 3:12-14:

“12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. 13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.”

May your household never come under God’s judgement. Beloved, it is better not to bring children into this world than to bring them up without the fear of God. My prayer for you today is that your children will not fall prey to the devil’s destructive works in Jesus’ Name.

Open Heaven 12 November 2018 Monday Prayer Point:

Father, help me to nurture the children You have given me with the spiritual nourishment in Your word. Give them ears that hear You and a heart that obeys You in Jesus’ Name.
