TOPIC: The Rewriter Of History (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 9 January 2023)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 25, Genesis 26, Genesis 27, Matthew 25, Matthew 26, Matthew 27

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 (KJV)

1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.

3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.

4 And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?

5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.

9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.

10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.

11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.

12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.

13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

MEMORY VERSE: “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.” – 1 Samuel 2:8

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:God is our glory and the lifter of our heads.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP:Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:THE LORD SHALL LIFT YOU FROM YOUR VALLEY POSITION TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

Yesterday, we established the fact that God specialises in rewriting histories and changing human stories from negative to positive. We substantiated this truth with lessons from the life of Jabez. Other individuals like Hannah, a prayer warrior, Naaman, the Syrian General, Rahab and Ruth also encountered the Story Changer and Rewriter of History, and their lives never remained the same. God still rules in the affairs of men and changes times and seasons. I pray that you will encounter the same God today, in the name of Jesus.

Is your life full of pain, failure, shame and sorrow? Is the background of your family one that limits you and encumbers you with deficits, non-achievement, poverty, backwardness and slavery? I have good news for you. God will change your story gloriously and rewrite your family history positively.

The Bible affirms that God also changes the stories of families and rewrites their histories. After Saul had lost the golden opportunity that God provided to rewrite the history of the Kish family, God said to Prophet Samuel, “How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thine horn with oil, and go, will send thee to Jesse and Bethlehemite: for! have provided me a king among his sons”. From the day Prophet Samuel anointed David as king among his brethren, the history of Jesse’s family became rewritten gloriously till today. David went on to become a man after God’s heart, the sweet Psalmist of Israel, the warrior-king that never lost any battle and Israel’s greatest king. Besides, he became a progenitor of Jesus Christ!

Beloved, is your family idolatrous and sinful? Abraham’s and Gideon’s families were. These men yielded their lives to God and became mighty instruments in His hand. In return, God rewrote their family histories gloriously. Are there traces of collective captivity, failure, barrenness, poverty, sickness, untimely death and so on in your family history dating to many generations? The Ultimate Rewriter of History is ready and willing to help you. Come to Him, you that labour and are heavy laden. He will change your story and give you rest.

PRAYER POINTS:

O God that changes times and seasons, rewrite the history of my family gloriously, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

My Father, raise me out of the dust, lift me from the dunghill and set me among princes, senators and presidents, in the name of Jesus.

Father, let Your unusual favour locate my family, in the name of Jesus.

Anointing for supernatural progress and next level achievements, come upon me and my family, in the name of Jesus.
