MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
The Fire Scripture today gives us insight into the lives of two men in the Bible. They are Paul and Silas. These men were missionaries who went to a particular city to preach. During their stay in this city, they were arrested by some people and kept in the prison. Their response to this situation was quite interesting and encouraging. The Bible says that at midnight, Paul and Silas started to pray and sing hymns to God and the other prisoners could hear them.
Anytime we decide to praise God the way Paul and Silas did in the prison, we turn praise to high praise. Praise becomes high praise because it is a sacrificial praise. It is not done because situation is not favourable and comfortable, but because we are totally in love and committed to God. It is high praise that commands unusual response from God. The Bible records that God intervened in Paul’s and Silas’ situation while they were singing praise to Him. This is what we experience anytime we choose to praise God in the face of a terrible situation.
Man was created primarily to praise God. Because of the different seasons and situations that characterise life, man finds it easy to praise God in the good times of life but when circumstances of life are not favourable, many people find it very difficult to praise God and instead complain and murmur against Him.
Beloved, the high praise of God is a sacrificial praise and it confirms our loyalty and allegiance to God. This is the praise that separates believers who serve God because of what they will get from Him and believers who serve God because they love Him genuinely and sincerely. These believers will follow and praise the Lamb of God in any situation. This is what Job did when he lost his business, empire and children. The Bible says Job knelt down and worshiped God. I enjoin you to worship God in the beauty of His holiness and give Him high praise today.

- Father, I praise You for all the great and wonderful things You have done for me and my family, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
- Father, I praise You for all the things that You are yet to do and the ones that are not favourable in my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Lord, give a new garment of praise that will make me addicted to a life of praise regardless of what is going on in my life, in the name of Jesus.
