BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 49, Genesis 50, Exodus 1, Luke 5, Luke 6, Luke 7.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 5:1-11 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
MEMORY VERSE: And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. – Luke 5:11 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
An encounter with Jesus is the glorious game-changer for anyone who has been short-changed or altered negatively by the critical challenges of life. It was the encounter which Apostle Paul had with Jesus on his way to Damascus that gloriously changed the course of his life. He forsook everything that he might gain all of Christ. “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ” (Philippians 3:7-8).

The Apostles and all who have ever made tangible progress and lasting impact in the business of God’s Kingdom are people who encountered His glory. The Lord can use you too as a vessel of blessing to your generation. All you need is an encounter with Jesus. An encounter with Jesus will however interrupt your life. You may lose your life’s ambition if that will stand between you and your Lord. An Encounter with Jesus will straighten your life as it did that of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:8-9). An encounter with Jesus will lead you to become more serious with God and not to be careless like Samson. An encounter with Jesus will refocus your mind on the Kingdom lifestyle. Encounter with Jesus will wean your heart from the mundane things of this world. It will fill your heart with fresh hunger and thirst for God. It will also help you to live with the understanding that a day is coming whereby you will stand before the Judgement seat of Christ.
The beauty of an encounter with Jesus Christ is that your life will never remain the same again. The presence of God will saturate you and the reality of the life of Jesus will pervade your life. The glory of God will permeate your entire life and you shall begin to make impact for God.
