MFM Daily Devotional 18th January 2021 Outline

So far, we have considered two important factors that can help you to navigate through a famine season in life: making and following godly decision and exercising faith in God and His unfailing promises. Today, we will look at two other factors: obedience and favour.

The Bible says that obedience is better than sacrifice and hearkening than the fat of rams (1 Sam. 15:22). God rewards obedience. He expects your obedience to be prompt, unquestioning and complete. When you obey God, you prove that you believe that He is sovereign, all-knowing, all-powerful and all-sufficient. It also means that you trust Him.

In Isaiah 1:19, the Bible says, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” Isaac demonstrated willingness and obedience during the famine. He heeded the heavenly instruction to stay in Gerar and not go down to Egypt. He believed God’s promise to bless him in the land in spite of the famine.

Beloved, God owns the heaven and the earth as well as all the gold and silver in them. He can bless you regardless of famine, global economic downturn or recession and other unpleasant economic situations.

Finally, you need favour and help to navigate a season of famine. One day of favour is greater than one year of labour. Favour will make you an exception to the rule in a positive way. By reason of divine favour and help, the widow of Zarephath encountered Elijah and did not suffer the pains of famine as others did. She, her son and Prophet Elijah did not lack. Ask God for favour and help during a season of famine.

Favour was the game-changer in the difficult times that Ruth passed through. Her story turned to glory when she found favour with God and man. In Ruth 2:2-3, the Bible says that Ruth went to work as a reaper in the field of Boaz, a kindred of Elimelech. When Boaz got to the field, Ruth, though a stranger in the land, found great favour with him and that completely changed her story! I pray that you will find favour and help today and always, in Jesus’ name.

Motivational Quote
God does not follow protocols when He wants to bless you.

Prophetic Word
Today, you will experience life-changing favour that will replace your years of labour, in the name of Jesus.

HYMN
All will be well

1. Through the love of God our Saviour,
All will be well;
Free and changeless is His favour,
All, all is well:
Precious is the blood that healed us;
Perfect is the grace that sealed us:
Strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,
All must be well.

2. Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well;
Ours is such a full salvation,
All, all is well:
Happy still in God confiding;
Fruitful if in Christ abiding;
Holy through the Spirit’s guiding;
All must be well.

3. We expect a bright tomorrow;
All will be well;
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
All, all is well:
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
Or in living or in dying,
All must be well.
