MFM Daily Devotional 6 October 2018 – Obstacles on Your Way to Breakthrough

MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 6 October 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Obstacles on Your Way to Breakthrough

TOPIC: Obstacles on Your Way to Breakthrough (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 6 October 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Judges 6:25-32

MEMORY VERSE: “So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” – Joshua 6:20

The MESSAGE:

Yesterday, we talked about divine internal cleansing. Today we shall examine obstacles on our way to breakthrough. Barriers, hindrances, stumbling blocks, oppositions, limitations, prison gates of brass, bushes, ground full of excreta or mud, mountains, etc are some of those things we see in our dreams preventing us from moving forward. They are all the same; they are dirty things that need to be cleansed for us to move forward spiritually and physically.

There is a way or road to everything you must achieve in this world. This is anchored on the popular saying that “the world does not want you to have what you deserve but what you enforce.” There is, therefore the need after cleansing of the outside (removal of unfit garment), to also clean your ways to breakthrough. What God is showing some of us in our dreams concerning our paths to progress is very terrible. How can a man who saw himself marching on excreta have a prosperous business? How can a student who saw himself moving inside a bush or wilderness have academic success?

A woman in one of our programmes prayed intensively before resting and sleeping off. She said she saw herself walking on a bushy road and fire fell down from heaven and started burning the bush around her and a clear and neat road later manifested under the burning bush, which she now followed.

There is a way, road or path for everything man must achieve in this world, and the intention of the enemy is to block or contaminate such paths. It is our duty therefore to clear such paths with acidic prayers. If you have ever had such revelations, today is your day, because if you do not sanitise such paths, certain expectations may not come to pass. The physical consequences of such dreams include: sinful life, unbelief, weakness, discouragement, frustration, laziness, ill-health, poverty, joblessness, no helpers, delay in good things, living in debt, lack of promotion, loss of good things, confusion and depression. The Bible says “Say unto the mountains be moved”, and the wall of Jericho had to be pulled down for repositioning. Today, in order to pull down those barriers and sanitise your ways, you have to pray. Prayer is the key for removing obstacles on your way.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
EVERY MAN’S MOUNTAIN IS HIS IGNORANCE AND EVERY MAN’S IGNORANCE IS HIS MOUNTAIN.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Your life is marching unto glory and the gate of hell shall not prevail.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Holy Spirit, I thank You because You have the power to bulldoze mountains, in the name of Jesus.
2. Every demonic power on my way of progress, die, in the name of Jesus.
3. Acquired obstacles preventing me from breaking through, I pull you down, in Jesus’ name.

EVENING
4. Load of affliction upon my shoulder and my head, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
5. Instruments of bewitchment set in motion against me, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
6. Every witchcraft diversion against my progress, be cancelled, in the name of Jesus.
7. I receive the fire and strength to clear my way to breakthrough, in the name of Jesus.

Dwelling In Understanding (Part 4) By Pastor Faith Oyedepo

Dwelling In Understanding (Part 4) by Pastor Faith Oyedepo

Topic: Dwelling In Understanding (Part 4)

Dear Reader,

The issue of effective communication in understanding your spouse cannot be over-emphasized. Last week, I showed you how trust and openness can enhance intimacy and ultimately make your communication with your spouse effective. This week, I will like to continue as I discuss other areas that help make communication more effectual.

Listening: Listening is crucial to effective communication. A wise man once said, “Good listeners are good lovers.” You must learn to pay close attention to what your spouse is saying. Any spouse who is more talkative or too quiet to respond to communication falls short in this area and needs to do something about it fast. There must be a talking and a listening, in order to have effective communication between both of you. Listening expresses care and attention.

Be sensitive to non-verbal messages as well as the ones expressed in words. A look, someone’s posture, leaving the room when a discussion starts, can communicate important messages. But they can be confusing messages, clarify the message as best as you can. Don’t assume. To listen effectively as you take time out to talk, wait until the kids are asleep, you can turn off the television or put off the phone. As much as possible, avoid any form of distraction. You can also take a solitary walk or a ride with your spouse. Go out for a drink and sit on a park bench. Change the setting to maximise your chances for effective communication.

Also Read: Attaining Intimacy in Marriage (Part 4) By Pastor Faith Oyedepo

Sometimes, just be there. Someone to lean on or to be a listener is comforting. The closeness those roles provide can be most helpful. Important issues should be wisely but thoroughly discussed. That is where correct timing comes in. You must speak to your spouse when there is enough time to dig deep into matters. You must understand your spouse so well that you know when to say what, how to say it and when to say it.

Even when a matter so overwhelms you, you can still compose yourself to wait for the appropriate time to speak; else, you will forfeit the purpose of that communication. There is a due season for every spoken word and this must be observed, if you desire to understand your spouse via the tool of effective communication. The Word of God says in Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7, To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: … a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

Remember, the essence of effective communication is to enhance intimacy, unity and love. Therefore, the words you speak to your spouse are meant to edify and to please, not using abusive words and hurting each other’s feelings. Be willing to admit when you are wrong and be ready always to say, “I’m sorry,” giving no room to the devil.

You should always ask yourself these four questions anytime there are things to be discussed: Why am I saying this? You must have a genuine reason for wanting to say whatever you want to say. Therefore, you must have it at the back of your mind to be able to effectively pass across the purpose of that discussion. Will it make us a better couple? Make sure that whatever you want to say to your spouse must of necessity add to your intimacy and happiness in marriage, before you proceed to say it. What is my motive? Do not have any ulterior motive for whatever you want to discuss. Let your motive be pure and sincere. Will it destroy our intimacy or make my spouse lose respect for me? All these will guide and help you achieve great understanding of your spouse.

The most effective communication with your spouse will take place after you have learnt the art of communicating with God, the maker of everything. You cannot communicate with the God you do not know. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for you to develop a relationship with God by accepting His son, Jesus Christ into your life. If you are ready to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, then say this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for delivering me from sin and satan to serve the living God and thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.

Congratulations! If you prayed this simple prayer of faith with me, you are now born again and a child of God. He loves you and will never leave you. Read your Bible daily, obey God’s Word and seek Christian fellowship (John 14:21).

With this, you are guaranteed all-round rest and peace in Jesus’ Name! Call or write to share your testimonies with me through [email protected], 07026385437 OR 08141320204.

Be Blessed by David Ibiyeomie

Be Blessed by David Ibiyeomie

Topic: Be Blessed

Isaiah 44:26a – That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers…

God goes out of his way to honour the words of his servants. Therefore when I prophesy over your life, believe it because God will honour it. If you believe that God sent me, every word I will speak today will come to pass in your life. When prophets speaks over your life, they are not empty words. If you receive it, God will honour it in your life. Don’t ever doubt it because God is not a man that he should lie. He is not the son of man that he should repent. If he has said it, he will do it. If he has spoken it, it will come to pass.

2 Chron.20:20b -… Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

My God bless you in the name of Jesus! Anything stopping you from lifting your head, I command it to be destroyed in the name of Jesus! Today marks an end to every affliction in your life! That thing that is making you to shed secret tears is ending today! You will begin to experience a turn of event for good from today in the name of Jesus Christ! Your long awaited blessing is released today! You are changing levels supernaturally today in the name of Jesus!

I decree the release of your miracles and testimonies! Your position is changing now! That hardship is ending right now! Whatever is standing on your path of destiny; that is making your head not to be lifted, I decree, this same day, I command it out of your path in the name of Jesus!

By the power of the Holy Spirt and in the name of Jesus Christ, receive your blessings! Receive your breakthroughs! Receive all that you desire that is in accordance with the word of God! May all your expectations come your way in the name of Jesus! May the power of the Holy Ghost release that breakthrough and miracles to you! You will no longer go through that shame anymore!

Teens Open Heavens 6 October 2018 – Jesus Is All You Need

Topic: Jesus Is All You Need [Teens Open Heavens 6 October 2018]

Memorise: After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy Shield, and thy exceeding great reward. Genesis 15:1

Read: Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 34-36, Philippians 2

MESSAGE:

All the power you will ever need is contained in one Name; Jesus. Anyone who really desires to get to Heaven must be acquainted with that Name because He is the only road to the Heavenly planet. That Name can satisfy every need. Once you have Jesus, you have everything.

A rich man once asked his son to choose one of his properties while the rest will go to his faithful slave. Fortunately, the son met an old man who told him that all he needed to do was choose the slave and everything the rich man leave will automatically become his. There are some things that you will possess and they will automatically give you access to possess everything else (Matthew 6:33). All you need is Jesus because if you have Him, you have everything.

Key Point: Do you really have Jesus?

Hymn 10:

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a Friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield You;
You wilt find a solace there.

DCLM Daily Manna 6 October 2018 – Integrity Is The Word

Topic: Integrity Is The Word [DCLM Daily Manna 6 October 2018 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: 1 Samuel 12:1-5 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man’s hand” (1 Samuel 12:4).

MESSAGE:

When Satan came before the Lord with the sons of God, he was asked if he had considered Job’s life of integrity as someone “who feared God and eschewed evil”. Satan expectedly tried to hinge Job’s righteousness on God’s blessings and preservation (Job 1:8-11).

The text today deals with Samuel’s valedictory address to Israel. He had presented himself for public scrutiny and had challenged them to testify against him in any area he might have erred as a leader. Their verdict was unanimous – he had lived a blameless life. And God was a Witness to that.

The life of Samuel presents a worthy model and challenge to all ministers as well as born again Christians. Today, many hide under the mask that “nobody can be perfect” and so, they continue the downward journey of sin and degradation. But man was created in the image of God, to live a holy life like his Maker.

Salvation from sin is the beginning of a true and living relationship with God. For a real child of God, living a holy life is not optional. It is the requirement to get to heaven. It is what pleases God. “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). Zechariah and his wife, Elizabeth, “…were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless” (Luke 1:6). Paul and his associates lived “holily, justly and unblameably” before the brethren (1 Thessalonians 2:10). Same for Daniel (Daniel 6:4). So, anyone accepting his shortcomings instead of praying to God to get rid of them will only have himself to blame eventually and eternally. God’s unchanging standard remains – “Be ye holy for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16).

Thought For The Day: No holiness, no heaven.

Seeds of Destiny 6 October 2018 Devotional — The Voice And Utterance Of Motive

Topic: The Voice And Utterance Of Motive [Seeds of Destiny 6 October 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7

Thought For The Day: The utterance of your motive is louder than the utterance of your actions.

Motive connotes the expressed or unexpressed reason for an action; it is the driving force of a man’s actions. The truth is, there is no human being on earth that acts without a definite motive.

It is amazing to know that motives have voices; motive speaks, and the utterance of your motive is louder than the utterance of your actions. The voice of your motive speaks louder than the voice of your actions. It is true that actions speak louder than words but motives speak louder than actions. This is why our anchor Scripture confirms that beyond our actions, God sees and knows the intent of our hearts. Behind our actions, God goes deeper to know the motive behind the things we do – why we do what we do, why we go to church, why we join a particular department in church, why we give offering, why we make money, the motive behind our quest for popularity, etc. For example, most people make donations in church, and in the sight of men, they appear very okay but in the sight of God, their donations are abominations because their motives are wrong.

In 2 Chronicles 25:1-2, the Bible says, Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem…And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.

Beloved, what is your driving force in life? Are you driven by the consensus or you are driven by your convictions? Is it the craving to be like others or the desire and passion to please God? My counsel is, ensure you have a correct, genuine and sincere motive behind every action for God sees beyond your actions; He sees your heart.

Remember This: The utterance of your motive is louder than the utterance of your actions.

Assignments:
1. Ask God to purge you of every wrong motive behind the actions of your life.
2. Endeavour to understand God’s motive behind His actions from His Word.

Prayer: Lord, I ask for forgiveness for every wrong motive I have ever had in doing anything both before You and before men. I receive the grace to cultivate and maintain the right motive in everything I do, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TREM 6 October 2018 Daily Devotional – Your Redeemer Is Alive and Strong

Topic: Your Redeemer Is Alive and Strong [TREM 6 October 2018 Daily Devotional]

All through the scriptures, you will find out that the Bible talks about our Redeemer. He is not a weakling. Our redeemer is strong. Your redeemer can be touched with the feelings of your infirmities. He can identify with where you are. He knows the tears you shed in the early hours of the morning and late hours of the night. Your Redeemer knows the hairs on your head. He knows everything about you. And not just that He knows, the Bible says, He is a strong Redeemer. Glory to God!

When Job was passing through severe challenges in life; he had difficulties which he couldn’t explain. At a point, he said to himself, I can’t explain what’s going on with me, but there is something I know: I know my Redeemer lives {Job 19:25}. My Redeemer is alive and not dead. He can feel what I feel. Child of God, I don’t know what your challenge is, but one thing I know is that your Redeemer lives. When we are talking about a Redeemer, we are talking about a Person who has the capacity to bring you out of your situation. When you are in a difficult situation and you cannot find your way out, He knows what it will take to get you out of the situation. If it is money, He will pay it. If it is His life that should be given, He is ready to give it.

There are three qualities a redeemer must have:

1. He must identify with you, that is there must be a connection, and link between you and him.

2. He must be willing to do it.

3. He must have the capacity to do it.

I am glad that Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, has all these qualities. And He put His life on the line to redeem you. Praise God!

Our Daily Bread 6 October 2018 Devotional – Twinkle

Topic: Twinkle [Our Daily Bread 6 October 2018 Devotional]

Read: Philippians 2:14–16, Bible in a Year: Isaiah 26–27; Philippians 2

Shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. Philippians 2:15–16

“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is an English lullaby. Its lyrics, originally a poem by Jane Taylor, capture the wonder of God’s universe where stars hang “up above the world so high.” In the rarely published later stanzas, the star acts as a guide: “As your bright and tiny spark lights the traveler in the dark.”

In Philippians, Paul challenges believers in Philippi to be blameless and pure as they “shine . . . like stars in the sky” while offering the good news of the gospel to all around them (2:15–16). We wonder how we can shine like stars. We often feel inadequate and struggle to think our “light” is bright enough to make a difference. But stars don’t try to be stars. They just are. Light changes our world. And it changes us. God brought physical light into our world (Genesis 1:3); and through Jesus, God brings spiritual light into our lives (John 1:1–4).

We who have God’s light in us are to shine in such a way that those around us see light and are drawn to its source. As effortlessly as a star hanging in the night sky, our light makes a difference because of what it is: Light! When we simply shine, we follow Paul’s directive to “hold firmly to the word of life” in a world in deep darkness, and we draw others to the source of our hope: Jesus.

Prayer: Dear God, may Your light shine out of the very cracks of our beings as we hold out the Word of life to others.

Jesus brings light into our life.

Kenneth & Gloria Copeland Devotional 6 October 2018 – Revolutionary Love

Topic: Revolutionary Love [Kenneth & Gloria Copeland Devotional 6 October 2018]

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails–[never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. – 1 Corinthians 13:7-8, The Amplified Bible

Love never fails. Nothing works without it, and there can be no failure with it. When you live by love, you cannot fail.

It takes faith to believe that love’s way will not fail. The natural mind cannot understand that because the natural man and his world are ruled by selfishness.

But when you practice love by faith and refuse to seek your own, you put the Father into action on your behalf. As long as you stay in love, God the Father seeks your own. He sees to it that you succeed. Walking in love is to your great advantage!

Agape love is a new kind of power. It makes you master of every situation. No weapon that is formed against you will prosper. No one even has the power to hurt your feelings because you are not ruled by feelings but by God’s love. You are loving as He loves.

This love is revolutionary. If we fully understood the great return from living God’s love, we’d probably be competing with each other, each of us trying to love the other more. And without a doubt, everyone would emerge from that competition a winner! For love is truly the only sure secret to our success.

Andrew Wommack Devotional 6 October – Follow the Leading of the Holy Spirit

Topic: Follow the Leading of the Holy Spirit [Andrew Wommack Devotional 6 October 2018]

Matthew 25:14 “For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.“

The parable of the talents continues the theme of being ready for the Lord’s return, but it also makes a strong point that we are accountable to the Lord for the gifts He has given us. The Lord intends us to use these gifts to further His kingdom – not keep them hidden.

This parable also shows the Lord dealing with His servants according to their own individual gifts and abilities. The servants who doubled their Lord’s money were praised equally, even though one had produced two and one-half times as much revenue for His Lord than the other. Every man’s work shall be judged as to what sort it is – not what size it is.

Most people today are preoccupied with quantity of ministry instead of quality of ministry. The Lord is going to reward us based on how well we did, not on how much we did. Those who are not governed by the Holy Spirit in their actions will see all their good works burned up on the day we stand before the Lord and He tries our works. Those who acted only under the guidance of the Holy Spirit will find that their works will endure the test and they will receive a reward.

Many people choose to do good things thinking that God will be pleased. It is our positive response to God’s direction (faith) that pleases God (Heb. 11:6). We were created with a purpose and every individual has a God-given plan for his life. Unless our actions are in agreement with God’s plan for our life, they will not abide the test of God’s fire.
