FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 16:5-15 (KJV)
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
MEMORY VERSE: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” – 2 Timothy 2:15

MFM Devotional For Today 2022 MESSAGE:
We rounded off our discourse yesterday with the advice that you seek the help of the Holy Spirit in finding and doing God’s will. This is very important. The Bible says, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6b). Let us dwell more on this point.
One of the principal roles the Holy Spirit plays in our lives, as believers, is to guide us to find the will of God. This is because no man knows the things of God but His Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:11). Also, John 16:13-14 affirms this, “When, He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” Dear reader, I counsel you to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Once you do this, His anointing will come upon you and will teach you all things (1 John 2:27).
The word of God is another source of help for believers who want to find and do God’s will. It is, in fact, the first place to look. The Bible is God’s written and revealed will (Psalm 119:105; Romans 2:18; 2 Timothy 3:16). You will find God’s will and the enabling to do it when you devote yourself to reading and studying the word of God carefully and daily (2 Timothy 2:15). Pray and ask God to help you understand His word; always obey God’s word.
God sometimes reveals His will through dreams. Some Old Testament examples include Numbers 12:6, Job 33:15-17, Jeremiah 23:28, Joel 2:28 while some New Testament include Joseph’s four dreams of instruction and warning (Matthew 1:20-21;2:13, 19-20, 22), the wise men warned in a dream (Matthew 2:12) and Pilate’s wife’s warning dream concerning Jesus (Matthew 27:19). However, the Bible cautions us regarding determining God’s will by dreams (Ecclesiastes 5:7; Jeremiah 29:8).
Beloved, I encourage you to have unwavering faith in God, live a holy lifestyle consistently and be addicted to God’s word and prayer. All these will increase your intimacy with God and your access to His will.
