MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
Joy had been raped at a young age and she carried the burden all around. The burden caused her agonising pain in her heart. This made her look older than her age and unapproachable.
Just like joy, at some point in the journey of life and destiny, we might experience moments of pain and anguish, moments when our hearts are heavy with loads of grief, distress and sadness. In the midst of all these, we should always be aware that God is with us. He does not abandon us with our wounds; rather, He steps into our lives, heals our broken hearts and binds up our wound.
Beloved, the Lord cares so much about you. That you go through a dark phase doesn’t mean you are forgotten. Are you presently in the darkest moment of your life? Do you carry the burden of pain in your heart? The Bible in the book of Matthew 11:28 says: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Allow Jesus to heal your wounds. Pour out your heart to Him. He wants you to trust and cast your burden upon Him and He would surely grant you the grace you need to scale through this phase victoriously!
Joy encountered this kind of word and she invited Jesus, the Balm of Gilead, into her life. She encountered Christ genuinely and was healed.
People bear pain and agony for many reasons: (1) Bereavement or the loss of a loved one. This was what David experienced when Saul and Jonathan died. (2) Failed courtship or being jilted by a partner during courtship (3) Separation or divorce (4) The pain of a terminal illness like cancer (5) The attack and agony of an incurable disease like sickle cell anaemia (6) Financial lack and indebtedness (7) Sudden loss of one’s valuables to accident, shipwreck, fire mishap, and so on. This was what Job suffered. In the face of his trial, he said, “Though He slays me, I will yet praise Him” (Job 13:15). Let that be your attitude too!
Beloved, Jesus still bears balm for the wounded and still heals those who come to Him.
MORNING
- Thank You, Jesus, for caring so much about me.
- Father, I surrender all my burdens at Your feet. Give me rest from them, in the name of Jesus.
- Precious Jesus, heal my physical, mental and spiritual wounds.
EVENING
- Let the garment of praise replace the spirit of heaviness in my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Holy Ghost fire, melt away every darkness of heaviness in my soul, in the name of Jesus.
- Power of God, move my life from strength to strength and from glory to glory, in the name of Jesus.
- I cover myself with the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
