TOPIC: The Tragedy Of Counterfeit Salvation (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 30 June 2022)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 1, 2 Kings 2:1-25, Acts 20:1-38, Psalm 78:40-55
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 3:20-31 (KJV)
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
MEMORY VERSE: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” – 1 Peter 1:23
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:

Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
POWERS ASSIGNED TO RETURN YOU TO EGYPT SHALL DIE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MFM Devotional For Today MESSAGE:
Salvation became necessary for man as a result of the grievous problem of voluntary act of disobedience in the Garden of Eden by Adam. The Bible declares in Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” As a result of the fall of man, satan took over the nature of every sinner, hence the need for salvation.
Beloved, salvation simply means redemption of the totality of man from the power of sin through the blood of Jesus. That is the only reason why Jesus came and died on the cross. The shedding of His precious blood is the only atoning sacrifice that dispenses salvation to every humble and believing soul.

However, from what we have seen around, many Christians seem not to understand what salvation entails. True salvation has to do with consistent victory over satan, sin and self through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. It has to do with living in holiness and daily striving to conform to the image of Christ.
Unfortunately, there are many people who claim to have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, yet nothing has changed a bit about them. They are still worldly, carnal and still maintaining their sinful lifestyles without any contrition. The devil is giving them false hope of salvation. Such people have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof (2 Timothy 3:5). They also profess to know God but in works, they deny Him (Titus 1:16). People like that are only carrying counterfeit salvation about.
Is your own salvation genuine? Beloved, counterfeit salvation is more dangerous than no salvation because the person will never be identified in heaven as Christ’s own and will be seen as a traitor to the kingdom of darkness. When darkness fights him, heaven will not be able to rescue him. The tragedy of counterfeit salvation is that it will deny one of God’s presence, glory, peace, protection, favour and mercy. It will ultimately lead to eternal perdition in hell fire.
Therefore examine your life on a daily basis and work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).
