FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 4:1-14 (KJV)
1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
We shall round off this discourse on the roles of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers today. The Holy Spirit is the believers’ standby because He provides them guidance, strength and empowerment in various situations. He serves as the believers’ standby in several ways: (1) He is always available, willing and ready to assist, guide and empower believers in every situation. In the Bible, Jesus, the Apostles, Peter, Paul and David all experienced the Holy Spirit as their standby on different occasions. (2) He is with believers everywhere they go and is present with them at all times, providing comfort, peace and reassurance. Whenever a believer is at their wits end, troubled or depressed and in need of guidance and direction, he or she should remember that the Holy Spirit is standing by, ready to act immediately He is called upon. (3) He empowers believers to face challenges, overcome obstacles, and live a life of faith and obedience.

(2) He offers comfort to believers and brings them peace as well as reassurance in times of distress or uncertainty. (3) He empowers believers for service. By so doing, He enables them to serve others, share their faith and live the life of a witness.
