TOPIC: Desperate Faith (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 4 July 2024)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 78, Psalms 79, Psalms 80, 2 Corinthians 12, 2 Corinthians 13
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 5:25-34 (KJV)
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
MEMORY VERSE: “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” – Luke 1:37 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
Today, we are looking at the place of faith in getting solution for a desperate situation. As humans, we go to the hospital whenever we are sick to see the doctor. He diagnoses and prescribes medications; we believe him, use it and get well. The same applies to a passenger in a bus, a ship or a plane, travelling from one destination to the other. In most cases, we don’t know the man behind the wheels, yet we sit calmly and believe we are safe at least, looking forward to our destination.
Dear reader of today’s devotional, how beautiful will it be if you can demonstrate this kind of faith whenever you are before God, no matter the situation. He alone has a permanent solution to all human problems. Oftentimes, many Christians seek human help and make God the last resort as in today’s Fire Scripture. This is not to overrule orthodox medicine, or healing though. Not at all! Rather, we are talking about seeking Jesus in faith, believing that He can handle all our needs. If the Syrophoenician woman could run to Jesus, humbly surrendered and demonstrated a great faith, why can’t a believer in Christ do the same?
The woman with the issue of blood, suffered for twelve years, she had visited many physicians, spent all she had, yet no solution to her problem. Culturally, as a result of her uncleanness, she became an outcast, unfit to dwell among the clean ones, an object of shame and disgrace. That was enough to frustrate her and make her believe all hope was lost. One day, she heard about Jesus passing by but amidst a large crowd. She put her faith to work, a desperate faith! She couldn’t be bothered about the crowd, where many would avoid her, because of her deteriorating and repulsive condition. Neither was she discouraged realising how difficult it was to come before Jesus. Rather, she pressed on, having said in her heart, “If only I can touch the hem of his garment.” Who would believe that she could receive her healing doing just that. Faith made it happen!
Think of this Beloved, demonstrate an unshakable faith that says, “I believe this is my last hope and can’t afford to miss this great opportunity……whatever it costs me.” Exhibit desperate faith and win.

EVENING
- O Lord my Father, my trust is in You, let me not be ashamed in the Name of Jesus.
- Affliction that has turned me to an object of ridicule, today is your end, die by fire, in the Name of Jesus.
- Where is the Lord God of Elijah? Arise and deal with problems that won’t let me go, in the Name of Jesus.
- My cry shall attract heavenly visitation to my life, in the Name of Jesus.
