TOPIC: Hold On To God’s Word (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 2 February 2019)
Bible In One Year: Exodus 29-30; Matthew 21:23-46
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 4:34-41
MEMORY VERSE: “And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.” – Luke 17:6
The MESSAGE:
One of the reasons believers suffer needless hardship, problems and pain is that they do not hold on to God’s word and allow it to work effectually for them in different circumstances. When God gives you His word or promise concerning anything, the devil will come to you with his lies. He could orchestrate a trial or problem to make you fear and take your eyes away from what God told you. If you do, the devil will have his way and make you to fail God and yourself. The word of God is the sure key to get us everything we need in the kingdom. It is our cure-all and our source.
Jesus gave the disciples a word, “Let us go to the other side”. After this, they set sail and Jesus slept in the boat. Suddenly, there came a storm and tempest and they feared that the ship was going to sink. They could not stop the storm and were so troubled that they woke Jesus up. He rebuked the storm and the wind and they obeyed Him. He called His disciples men of little faith? Why? He had given them the word, “Let us go to the other side.” The disciples took their eyes and faith away from God’s word.
In difficult and precarious situations, remember the word God has personally given you or His promise in the Bible. Hold on that word. Believe it. God watches over His word to bring it to pass. Jesus did not say, “Let us go and sink.” The disciples should have known that it was impossible for them to sink when the Master had told them that they would sail successfully to the other side. That faith in the word of the Master should have been the anchor for their soul and given them confidence to face and rebuke the storm themselves.
Beloved, don’t be a Christian of little faith like the disciples. Don’t fail to hold on to God’s word and act on it in trying times. God has given you great and precious promises through the Bible concerning your health, marriage, children, finance, ministry, career, business and other issues you are concerned about. Hold on to God’s word, don’t take your eyes away from His promise. The word of God is sure, infallible and will never fail to be fulfilled. No matter what may be happening in any area of your life, believe and act on God’s word concerning it. It will be fulfilled and your joy will be full. God watches over His word to fulfill it.
