MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 14 JULY 2024 MESSAGE:
Apostle James advised that a Christian should first draw nearer to God and thereafter, resist the devil. How then do you draw near to God? What are the things you can do to help you resist this evil one at all times?
Drawing nearer to God involves being a friend of God. To be a friend of God, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. It is this new birth that brings you to that position of intimacy with God through Christ Jesus.
As you grow and get mature in your Christian life, engage in daily consistent reading and studying of God’s word, communing with God daily in prayer, praying all kinds of prayers. You will be renewed in your mind which leads to inner transformation. Consequently, your spiritual growth and maturity becomes evident in word and in deed.
It is important that you become an ardent worshipper of the Most High. God dwells in the praises of His beloved.
Embrace humility which is a mark of Christlikeness. As you become more like Jesus, manifesting the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) in every area of your life and relationships, you will get to the point where you can boldly declare that “the prince of this world comes but finds nothing in me” (John 14:30).
This kind of declaration can only be done when you have forsaken the world and all that is in it. You are in the world but not a citizen of the world. As a Christian, our citizenship is in heaven not on earth. Hence you should not be a friend to the world! Doing this opens you to a great risk with the thief who has come to steal, kill and destroy. No one romances the devil and go scot free. He has no free gift. Resist him at all cost!
Flee from every appearance of sin and unrighteousness. Ensure that you are walking in love and truth, following the footsteps of Jesus. Remember, the devil is the accuser of the brethren. He is forever seeking for an opportunity to accuse God’s children where sin, iniquity and any kind of unrighteousness exist. To resist him, therefore, you must embrace holiness, righteousness and purity.

1. You the roaring lion, you shall not devour me, in the name of Jesus.
2. Power of sin and iniquity upon my life, break and release me, in the name of Jesus.
3. O God, arise and deliver me from every besetting sin, in the name of Jesus.
𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆
4. Father, clothe me with the garment of righteousness, in the name of Jesus.
5. Hatred for sin and unrighteousness, possess me now, in the name of Jesus.
6. Father Lord, empower me to resist the devil and his cohorts, in the name of Jesus.
7. Lord Jesus, draw me nearer and take me farther from destruction, in the name of Jesus.
