TOPIC – The Mixed Multitude (2) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 18 May 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezra 9, Ezra 10, Nehemiah 1, Luke 21, Luke 22
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Numbers 11:1-15 (KJV)
1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
MEMORY VERSE: They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. – 1 John 2:19 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: You either focus on God, or you lose Him.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: I prophesy upon you that you will not lose God, and God will not lose you, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
In these last days, there is need for us as (believers) to understand the identity and activities of the spiritual entities called the “mixed multitudes”. The mixed multitude instigated the Israelites against their God as we pointed out in the first part of this devotional yesterday. They also corrupted the mind of the Israelites as they affected them by the insidious spirit of lust. The spirit of lust is the power of sinful longing for things which God prohibits. It is the force that makes people desire what God has condemned. Lust can degenerate to the level of bewitchment that blinds one to God’s loving care and goodness, which eventually leads to falling away from God. All these happened to the Israelites according to our Fire Scripture of today.

The mixed multitudes badly influenced the Israelites to the point of looking back to Egypt and longing for their Egyptian delicacies of fish, cucumber, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. This very low attitude made them despise the Heavenly delicacy, Manna, the food of angels with which God was feeding them. Are you not surprised? What is in fish or cucumber or even onions and garlic that would make a whole nation desire returning to the land of bondage? They even exaggerated by saying that, ” … our soul is dried away … ” (v 6). They wept so much like over-pampered children and the anger of God was kindled against them, and the meek Moses was displeased and also became angry. They frustrated the leader God placed over them. They were drawn away from God, forgetting His goodness, love and providence. They inevitably came under the Judgement of the loving God, and many of them were eventually destroyed.
The truth is that in the church today, there are lots of mixed multitudes who are not fully with God, neither are they persuaded of His goodness and love. They pretend to belong to God’s children, but they are not. In fact, they are causing a lot of innocent ones to stumble. Beware.
