MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
In Jesus’ time, wine making was a common practice so His followers easily understood the parable about the new wine and old wineskin. It would usually take a series of processes to produce wine. The final product would be new wine that is still fermenting. This wine needed to be stored in a new wineskin so that the wineskin would expand with the pressure of fermentation. If new wine wasn’t stored in a new wineskin, the pressure from the fermentation would burst the old wineskin because it would no longer be able to expand. Then, both the wine and wineskin would be lost.

Jesus came to lead people into a new form of worship; worship that is not rooted in legalism but in a genuine relationship with the Father. Jesus told the woman of Samaria that the true worshippers would worship the Father in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Before Jesus came, the law of Moses was in operation. The problem with the law was that it focused on outward performance rather than the heart. That was why God promised to give His people a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:26-27). Jesus came to bridge the gap between God and men by tearing the veil into the Holiest place.
Accepting Jesus means receiving new wine. New wine is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. However, if you choose to mix your Christianity with the rules of another religion, you are trying to pour new wine into an old wineskin. Practising Christianity without the Holy Spirit or trying to please God by works alone without faith, equates pouring new wine into an old wineskin. Both would be destroyed.
Beloved, make up your mind today to serve the Lord wholeheartedly. The only way to God is Jesus Christ; adding anything else or trying to get to the Father through any other means is equal to putting new wine into an old wineskin. All will be lost. May your eyes be enlightened, in Jesus’ name.
