TOPIC — Faith: Fruit Of The Holy Spirit (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 17 December 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hebrews 1-6
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 4:16-21 (KJV)
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
MEMORY VERSE: “So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure.” – 2 Thessalonians 1:4
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Worry only maintains tomorrow’s sorry and leaks away today’s joy.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
THE LORD SHALL GRANT YOU ABUNDANT GRACE FOR YOUR LIFE’S JOURNEY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
Mountain Top Life MESSAGE:
Faith, as a fruit of the Holy Spirit, says a lot about your character as a Christian. It also says a lot about your walk and relationship with God. Since God is always faithful to all His promises, you, as a Christian, should be faithful in your calling. Faith is the evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work in your life. Being faithful is a character trait that combines dependability and trust, based on your confidence in God and His eternal faithfulness. To be faithful is to be reliable or trustworthy. The keys to surviving persecution are patience and faith. When you are faced with crushing troubles and hardships, have faith that God is using them for your good and for His glory.
God is good and fair. He has not forgotten you. In His time, He will end your suffering and punish those who persecute you. All you need is to have faith and confidence in Him. If God says you are healed, believe Him and you will receive your healing. Jesus told the woman with the issue of blood, “Thy faith hath made thee whole” (Matthew 9:22). The same thing goes with the centurion (Matthew 8:13). This man’s faith amazed Jesus. With faith in God, He can change a hopeless situation to testimony. This faith also manifested in the life of the woman who had the issue of blood for twelve years.
In your trouble and desperation, reach out to God in faith and He will respond. In Matthew 17:17, the disciples were unable to cast out the devil in someone’s life for the lack of faith. It is the power of God and your faith that move mountains. The Bible says that if your faith is as small as the grain of a mustard seed, which was the smallest particle, it is sufficient to move your mountain. There is a great potential in a little faith when you trust in God’s power to move. Whenever you face a problem that seems big and immovable, look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. It is only then, you will be able to overcome the obstacle. Put your faith to work today and you will experience the awesome power of God.
