TOPIC: What Kind Of Disciple Are You? (1) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 7 July 2025)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 4:5-5:17; Acts 25:1-27; Psalm 5:1-12; Proverbs 18:19.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 3:1-16 (KJV)
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
MEMORY VERSE: “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” – 1 John 2:6 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
Our God is Omniscient. He knows our weaknesses and will help us as He did for others in time past.
MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
What kind of follower are you to the Lord Jesus Christ? Our Fire Scripture today tells how Nicodemus visited the Lord Jesus at night because he did not want the Jewish leaders to know that he believed in Him. This provides the background to one question we should regularly ask ourselves to ensure that we are on course: what is the temperature of our love for Him? Hot, tepid, or cold? The Bible implores us to always examine ourselves if we are standing right in our faith as Christians.

Are you a disciple like Peter: a potential powerhouse, but easily manipulated by the devil because of prayerlessness? Do you shake like a leaf at the mere sight of a herbalist or are you afraid to say no to contributions for local festivals or other sacrifices to family idols? This is denying your Lord and Saviour, as Peter did before the housemaid at the High Priest’s residence. Nevertheless, the Lord saw Peter’s weaknesses as well as his potential and interceded for him, and the enemy lost out in the battle for his soul.
Are you a disciple like Thomas: close to the Lord but full of fear and doubt? When Jesus was going to Bethany to raise Lazarus from death, Thomas was so afraid of the threats of the opposition. He believed that Jesus’ going towards Jerusalem at that particular time would lead to the death of all of them (John 11:16). Do you still doubt the efficacy of the healing power in the blood of Jesus or the resurrection power that is beyond human comprehension?
Do you have a ‘plan B’ in your spirituality—allowing your parents to consult the oracle on your behalf? Why not settle down, wrestle with God, and adjust your lifestyle as Jacob did? Remember that Thomas finally acknowledged the Lordship of Jesus beyond any iota of doubt. You must be sure if truly you are ready to live your life out for the Master. That is a true disciple.
Our Lord is unequivocal in His condemnation of jelly-kneed disciples—they are not worthy. I pray for you that you will run the race to win and not fail, in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
- Lord, wherever You lead, I shall go, in the name of Jesus.
- Lord, help me to be a vessel unto honour in Your household, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, make me Your true disciple, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- My Father, examine my heart and cast out every stranger in it, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, cast out fear and doubt in me, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, increase my faith, in the name of Jesus.
- O God, give me the grace to love and have passion for souls like You, in the name of Jesus.
