BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 2, Daniel 3, 1 Thessalonians 1, 1 Thessalonians 2
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 9:15-27 (KJV)
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
MEMORY VERSE: “And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.” – Judges 6:12 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
God’s power is incomparable. Our God is greater than the greatest. Sometime ago, the daughter of a certain sister had mental problem. She was very wild. She took her daughter to the hospital where she was given a special room because the drugs were not working. She pounced on anybody who tried to enter into the room. One day, the sister listened to a message titled, “You, the Sleeping Giant, Stir up Yourself”. After listening to the message, she went to the hospital and asked to see her daughter. They told her to talk to her from the window. She said that she would like to enter the room. She entered and when the daughter saw her, she became wild. But the sister said, “In the name of Jesus, you wild beast, come out of her now.” It was as if she gave a punch to the girl. She fell down and straightaway said, “Mummy.” She became calm as she was delivered from the evil spirit troubling her.
The sister was shocked that she could do it. God will not commit Himself to those who would not seek Him and come to His presence, or to men who, after Sunday service, would sit down at home and watch television, who are not interested in house fellowship or group activities.
Where do we go from here? Do we want to continue our Christian race with such complaints as ’something is pressing me down on my bed’, ’something is pursuing me,’ or ’I saw a snake.’ ’I saw water and I wanted to cross and one woman said I should not cross?’ Would we allow the children of the bondwoman and the children of darkness to sit on our wealth while we watch them and believe that one day, something will happen? No. Nothing will happen until we begin to pray and address what should be addressed. Then things will start changing. The spirit of demonic silence must go. Many of us are too quiet about the things of God. We need the demonstration of God’s power as it was witnessed during the time of Jesus. Beloved, if thou believe, all things are possible.
MORNING
- Sleeping giant in me, wake up, in the name of Jesus.
- My glory, wake up, in the name of Jesus.
- Powers assigned to put my destiny to sleep, die, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Anything limiting the power of God in my life, come out and die, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, let Your hand of mercy move me from where I am now to where You want me to be, in the name of Jesus.
- The right hand of God that doeth valiantly, break every barrier to my advancement and promotion, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, make me Your instrument of signs and wonders, in the name of Jesus.
