MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Someone once said, a vigorous self-examination is the greatest form of maturity. We continue with our self-examination as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you a disciple like James and John (whom Jesus named sons of thunder) perhaps because of their uncontrollable anger and readiness to punish for the slightest offense? Are you one of those who want to reign with Jesus but do not want to pay the price? Our Lord assured James and John that they would drink of the same cup with Him (persecution), but they are not guaranteed the choicest position in heaven because only God determines that.

Are you a Judas? One who has been a Christian for so long but has nothing to show for it? Someone who calls bribery and stealing by a fashionable name—family support? Someone who unrepentantly compromises his faith for money, position, and power? Or a Christian who spearheads the persecution of uncompromising Christians at work and is always asking, “Are you the only Christian?” Our Lord knew that Judas would betray Him, but because He is love personified, He tolerated him throughout His earthly ministry.
Are you like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, who, despite being Christians, are very ignorant about the promises of God? Such people love Jesus, but their lack of knowledge robs them of the power that the Holy Spirit is ready to bestow on those who covet Him. By the time the Lord Himself opened their eyes to the Word of God, the two disciples did not want to leave the presence of the Lord. Beloved, you need to do a thorough self-examination to ascertain what kind of disciple you truly are.
Are you like the rich young ruler? Those who would like to be disciples but are procrastinating because they still want to enjoy worldly parties, dressing, and ways of life? How much of your money and time are you ready to give up for Him? Jesus is waiting at the door of your heart and knocking. Open and let the Resurrection and the Life come in to reign.
True and genuine disciples are ready to lay down everything at the feet of Jesus, including their lives.
