Olukoya, General Overseer, MFM worldwide   Posted by allcitynews.ng MFM 2024: OUR YEAR OF OPEN DOORS & DIVINE SPEED MFM Topic for Sun 07~~~01~~~24: the excellency of God's word {2} An encounter with the Lord through daily devotion is the best way to start your day, it will give you extraordinary strength to overcome the day's challenges and also give you uncommon divine success, in the name of Jesus.   Welcome to MFM Devotional, 07~~~01~~~24 PRAISE & WORSHIP: Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,   That saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found,   Was blind, but now I see. 2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,   And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear   The hour I first believed! 3 The Lord hath promised good to me,   His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be   As long as life endures. 4 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,   Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise   Than when we first begun. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GENESIS 19, GENESIS 20, GENESIS 21; MATTHEW 19: MATTHEW 20, MATTHEW 21 MEMORY VERSE: ROMANS 1:16- FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION FOR EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH; TO THE JEWS FIRST, AND ALSO TO THE GREEK MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: You can't do God's will if you don’t know the word of God. 07~~~01~~~24 PROPHETIC WORD: Today, God's word, the perfect law of liberty, will liberate you from all the works of the enemy, in the name of Jesus. FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 19:7-14 {KJV} The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer 07~~~01~~~24 MESSAGE: Yesterday, we established the timeless truth that the word of God is eminently invaluable and practical {John 6:68}. It is a light and a lamp {Psalm 119:1085}. It is a sword {Ephesians 6: 17} bread to eat for our spiritual life {John 6:57-63}. It is powerful to save {Romans 1:16 4:12}. It is a tool in the hands of the righteous that blesses God and man. Its tremendous blessings are tied to its practical application for daily living. That is why the Psalmist said that in keeping God’s word there is great reward {Psalm 19: 7-11}.
