MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
Paul was another old man who ran the race and finished his course gallantly. He was prepared to be with the Lord as a man who lived and fulfilled purpose. Not only that, he reproduced himself in many others in his Christian journey. He confidently declared it was time for him to depart and be with the Lord in 2 Timothy 4:7, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing”. What a way to finish, and to finish well!
In the same vein, when a Christian fails to be accountable to God all through life and leave behind a godly legacy for his children and children’s children, then he will likely end up with regrets, failures, sorrows, and an unproductive life. I pray that will not be your portion, in Jesus’ name.
To be productive even old age starts with walking with God and walking in the Spirit; being obedient to God’s leading and instructions, possessing and manifesting the fruit of the Spirit which will help you to live a loving and peaceable life, drawing others to yourself for the sake of the kingdom. With these come the package of good health and sound mind such as is found in Caleb, a man that was bold to declare that he was as strong at eighty four years old as he was in his forties. This can only be God!
Do you desire to age gracefully? You need to do the following: do away with all sins and emotional baggage. It will take you away from God, fragment your mind and entire being. Think right, think positively and think godly thoughts. Do away with all negative thoughts and imaginations, unforgiveness, bitterness hatred, resentment and the likes. Sanitise your mind regularly with the blood of Jesus and fill it with the word of God (Colossians 3:16-17). As you grow older, be joyful and let your joy be contagious (Philippians 4:4). Keep eternity in view and be less attached to this world and its vanities.
MORNING
- Father, renew my youth like that of an eagle, in the name of Jesus.
- The grace to finish well and strong, my life is available, enter now, in the name of Jesus.
- I shall fulfil the number of my days in health and prosperity, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Father, uphold me by the word of Your power, in the name of Jesus.
- l overcome the spirit of untimely death, by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, prolong my days as many generations, in the name of Jesus.
- I shall flourish like the palm tree and bring forth fruits in old age, in the name of Jesus.
