TOPIC: How To Gauge Your Love For Christ (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 17 September 2024)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 41, Isaiah 42, Luke 7, Luke 8.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 14:15-24 (KJV)

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

MEMORY VERSE: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” – John14:15 (KJV)

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:No man can claim he loves Christ when he is disobedient to Him.

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

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:THE LOVE OF CHRIST SHALL BECOME THE COMMANDING AUTHORITY OVER YOUR LIFE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:

The love of God for humanity is so vast and immeasurable. The Bible says God has demonstrated His love towards us in that while we were sinners, at the time when there was nothing good in man, God sent His only begotten Son to die for us. What a great demonstration of love! The raw truth many Christians are yet to grasp is that if Jesus did not come to die for our sin, every human being that would ever come into this world would eventually end up in eternal perdition, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; yet God would still remain God. Why? Man deliberately sinned against God through the voluntary act of disobedience.

However, the love of God prevailed, the righteous and sinless One, propelled by love, carried our sins upon Himself and died for us. And now He is asking us to give Him the first place in our hearts. He is asking us to love Him supremely above every other thing in this world. Do you sincerely love Him? The truth is that no one can claim he loves Christ when such a person is living in disobedience and sin. There are many who claim they love Christ Jesus, yet they are living in diverse open and hidden sins. They are breaking the Word of God every day. They are recklessly despising the Word of God. Violating His commandments has become their lifestyle. Hope you are not like that.

The only way to gauge your love for Christ is through your obedience to Him, keeping His commandments consistently and intensely, moment by moment on a daily basis. He says, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” This is not a lip service devotion but the consecration of your entire life in daily obedience to all His counsel, precepts, instruction, principles, and commandments. Do you love Him? Are you keeping His commandments? Are you intentional in applying His Word to every area of your life? If your answer is no, then you don’t love Him. Repent, before it is too late!

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

Strange fire of disobedience burning in my heart, I quench you with the blood of Jesus, in the Name of Jesus.

Every stronghold of sin in my life, scatter by fire, in the Name of Jesus.

EVENING

Purging fire of God, move through my life and purify me, in the Name of Jesus.

Power of foundational iniquity, release me by fire, in the Name of Jesus.

Holy Spirit of God, possess my spirit, soul and body, in the Name of Jesus.
