BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 47, Isaiah 48, Luke 13, Luke 14.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:3-12 (KJV)
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
Today, many Christians are gradually drifting away from the truth and falling into spiritual and doctrinal errors. The reason is that many so called believers in Christ have become mere miracle seekers and impatient in their search for God. As a result of the inability to wait upon the Lord for answers to their prayers, they wander about looking for microwave solutions and quick fixes to their problems. They rush in large numbers to worship centres where fake miracles, signs and wonders are happening. Unfortunately, they are not discerning enough to know what powers are in control in these places. Many people are so desperate for answers at all cost, ignoring the fact that the “supposed pastors or prophets” are nothing but hirelings, fake ministers of God. This is the order of the day of today’s church and believers. It is sad!
The Bible counsels us to test all spirits and know if they are genuine or fake. Any spirit that refuses to acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God is nothing but the spirit of the Antichrist. God Himself is aware of these fake ministers. Jesus and His apostles warned us ahead of time that strange men would creep into the fold, among true Christians. They will not only scatter the fold, but some gullible and undone Christians will be drifted away from Christ, the Only way to God, the Father.
Jesus also said, not everyone that calls His name shall enter into the Kingdom of God. This is because He knows the heart of men. He warned again in today’s Fire Scripture about the false Christ and all such pretenders. Apostle Paul wrote that it is not a strange thing, even satan disguises as a an angel of light. He warned severally that we should therefore not be ignorant of his devices. Today’s Fire Scripture is written by Apostle John, expressly warning us to desist from becoming slaves of strange doctrines. It is the spirit of the last days!
Beloved, all false doctrines are ordained by satan to recruit men into hell and destruction. This is not the mind of God for His children. Rather, He wants us to know the Truth; this Truth shall set us free (John 8:32. 36). Any doctrine that does not proclaim Jesus as Lord is false and destructive. Flee from such!
MORNING
- O God, arise and deliver me from the lies of satan and the spirit of end times, in the name of Jesus.
- Wherever I am drifting away, Father deliver me by Your mercies, in the name of Jesus.
- Arise, O God; expose every false teachers and scatter every gathering of fake prophets, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Every yoke of strange spirits in my life, break now by fire, in the name of Jesus.
- Wherever I have been slave to strange spirits and doctrines, I receive freedom today by the power of God, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, help me to know the Truth and establish me in the power of Your word, in the name of Jesus.
- Power to discern the truth against all falsehood and deception, come upon me now, in the name of Jesus.
