MFM Daily Devotional 18 September 2021 Outline
The book of 1 John 2 tells us that there is nothing in this world but the pride of life, the lusts of the eyes and the flesh. These are all vanities. As a Believer, you must resolve in your mind that you will not live below the standard of the kingdom. Jesus Christ was so passionate about the kingdom values that He threw His all into exhibiting its expectations, thereby fulfilling its mandate upon His life.
We should emulate Him on this! As we pointed out yesterday, Jesus committed much time to teaching His disciples about the kingdom and living its lifestyle through various teaching and parables. This is because claiming to be part of God’s kingdom is not in mere words but in living out its standard. As you daily strive to showcase the kingdom lifestyle, the beauty of the life of Christ will pervade your inner life and flow outward for all to see.
Living the kingdom lifestyle is portraying the life of God Himself in word and in deed. This is when your light is truly shining and illuminating the path for others to follow . The kingdom lifestyle is rooted in a life of total humility, complete obedience, unquestionable submissiveness and absolute yieldedness to God and His will for your life in its entirety (Mathew 5:7). Philippians 2:5 enjoins us to have the same mind as of Christ.
In the same vein, today’s Fire Scripture calls us to be imitators of God and to walk in love just as Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour did (Eph. 5:1-2). It went on to admonish us to shun worldly principles and practices if we must be partakers of the glorious inheritance of this kingdom. We should walk in light, having been delivered from darkness and have nothing to do with the people and activity of darkness.
As a child of the kingdom, walk consistently in wisdom and obedience to the word of God as well as the dictates of the Holy Spirit. You will gradually become an epistle for others to read as your life mirrors Christ Jesus. Be different and be separated unto God in all you do. God shall be proud of you and heaven shall stand in ovation for you.

Living the kingdom lifestyle is portraying the life of God
PROPHETIC WORD
My life will daily manifest the beauty of His presence in Jesus name.
HYMN: Faith of our fathers!
- Faith of our fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire and sword:
O how our hearts beat high with joy
When e’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death! Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free:
How sweet would be their children’s fate,
If they like them could die for thee!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!Faith of our fathers! we will strive
To win all nations unto thee,
And thro’ the truth that come from God,
Mankind shall then be truly free.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife:
And preach thee too as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!
MORNING
1. Spirit of compromise, I am not your candidate; depart from my life by fire, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
