MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 1 March 2019 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – God Turns Garbage to Treasure
TOPIC: God Turns Garbage to Treasure (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 1 March 2019)
Bible In One Year: Numbers 20-22; Mark 7:1-13
FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 4:27-42
MEMORY VERSE: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10
The MESSAGE:
When the Samaritan woman, the village filth, set out to draw water from the village well that fateful day, little did she know that she was about to become the village treasure. She probably went to the well in the hot afternoon because she was trying to avoid contact with fellow villagers, who had nothing but contempt for her, because of her shameless adultery. Suddenly, in her worthlessness, she came face to face with the Fountain of Life, and suddenly became an evangelist and a blessing to her village.
This scenario was repeated many times during Jesus’ earthly ministry:
- The Gadarene demoniac was relegated by demons to living among the dead. He could no longer communicate with fellow men because the only voices he heard in his spirit were the voices of wicked spirits telling him to destroy himself.
- Bartimeus, whose blindness made people believe that he was not entitled to anything good in life. So, instead of helping him, people actually tried to silence him when he called out to Jesus.
- Matthew the tax collector, who got nothing but contempt from his fellow men because of his fraudulent ways.
- Simon Peter, the hopeless failure of a fisherman who toiled all night and caught nothing.
- Mary Magdalene, whose life had been converted into a luxury hotel by demons.
- The thief on Jesus’ right side on the cross, who had been condemned to eternal damnation for his thieving ways.
- The woman caught in adultery, who was about to be condemned to eternal damnation for her inability to control her lust.
- Lazarus, who had become a stinking corpse in the grave, bound from head to toe by the bands of wickedness. Jesus wept when He saw what the devil had done to this man!
- Even a helpless donkey, tied down by human wickedness, was suddenly liberated because the Lord had an assignment for it.
In each of these cases and more, an encounter or visit from Jesus turned their lives completely around and they became stars.
Beloved, what about you? Arise, call upon the name of the Lord today. Whatever your situation, He wants to turn your life around. Like Bartimeus, Lazarus, the donkey, shake off the shackles of wickedness holding you down. Like Simon Peter, Mary Magdalene and the thief on the cross, put your faith into full gear. Like the woman caught in adultery and Matthew, repent, take up your cross and follow Jesus. Suddenly, your star will shine, in this life and the next.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
CALL UPON JESUS, HE WILL DEFEND YOU AGAINST YOUR ACCUSERS, AND GIVE YOU A NEW ENVIABLE LIFE.
PROPHETIC WORD:
Your voice shall matter where you once had no voice.
