FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 15:21-28 (KJV)
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
MEMORY VERSE: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. – James 1:6 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Importunity moves God; stay persistent in your faith.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: May you receive faith that makes all things possible, in Jesus’ Name.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Faith moves mountains; it makes the impossible possible. Faith means believing that God can do something and holding on to Him until He does it. Jesus already said that even the tiniest faith, faith as small as a mustard seed, can move God to act.

We consider the Canaanite woman today as one who demonstrated great faith. In our fire scripture, we see that Jesus entered the region of Tyre and Sidon, a Gentile territory, where a Canaanite woman pestered Him to heal her demon possessed daughter. The first Interesting fact to note is that Jesus initially appeared to ignore her. There are times when you pray, and it feels like God is ignoring you because there’s seemingly no response. In such moments, faith demands that you stay persistent. Take a cue from this Canaanite woman.
The next thing to note is that she saluted Him as “Son of David,” revealing her understanding of His covenant origin. When you come to God in prayer, your faith is strengthened because you know the One who has promised to hear you when you call. Even though there are distracting voices like the disciples’ who urged Jesus to send the woman away, you remain focused.
Jesus’ next response is puzzling. He told her that His healing virtue was for the children of Israel, not strangers like her. This statement did not deter this woman; rather, she matched Jesus’ wit by saying that she was willing to get the crumbs from the children’s table. Her faith was so strong that she believed that even the crumbs, the leftover of the anointing, would do. This humble response, along with her worship, impressed Jesus. He commented, “O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt” (v. 28). Her persistent faith paid off.
Beloved, faith is a Heavenly currency. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you should grow in your faith. If this woman, who was considered a “stranger,” could receive from Jesus through her persistent faith, how much more you, who have been accepted in the Beloved? Think about this!
