MFM Daily Devotional 7th November 2021 Mountain Top Life Outline
Jesus describes His followers as sheep. The sheep is the meekest and lowliest animal on earth. The sheep symbolises humility. Every flock of sheep has a shepherd. The shepherd is the one that leads the sheep. He understands their language, emotions and thoughts and the sheep know their shepherd and they obey him (John 10:4).
Believers and followers of Christ are sheep and Jesus is their Good Shepherd. Just as the shepherd charts the course for the sheep, Jesus came to show us the way and to lead us to the Father through righteousness (John 10:3-4).
The scripture tells us that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no man can come to the Father except through Him, our Good Shepherd (John 14:6). The shepherd protects the interest of the sheep and risks his life for them. John 10:11 tells us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd who came to give His life for us.
Jesus gave His life freely and willingly for us, to save our lives and to deliver our souls from perdition (John 10:15-18). John the Baptist referred to Him as the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Jesus is therefore the sacrificial Lamb of God for the redemption of our sins.
As sheep, we have a duty to humble ourselves before our Shepherd who also subjected Himself to the will of the Father by becoming a lamb. He did not only come as a shepherd, He also came as a sheep before the Father. Acts 8:32 tells us He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearers, so opened he not his mouth.
He is therefore a perfect Shepherd, having put on the form of a sheep before becoming a shepherd, and by so doing, He understands the sheep He was called to lead.
Motivational Quote
The sheep that fails to heed the voice of the shepherd shall perish.
Prophetic Word
You will not miss the voice that will change the story of your life for good, in the name of Jesus.
MFM Daily Devotional 7th November 2021 Mountain Top Life HYMN:
Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
- Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
O’er the world’s tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but thee;
Yet possessing every blessing
If our God our Father be. -
Saviour, breathe forgiveness o’er us;
All our weakness thou dost know,
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert thou didst go. -
Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy:
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy
