BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 43, Genesis 44, Genesis 45, Mark 15, Mark 16, Luke 1.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 5:1-5 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
MEMORY VERSE: He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. – John 5:11 (AMP)

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: I pray that you will encounter Jesus afresh today, by fire, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Encounter has to do with a personal experience with God that causes enduring spiritual effect. It is a definite time in your spiritual journey when you break into a deeper understanding of God’s will that eventually changes your spiritual outlook and draws you deeper into God. Encounter is when you meet with God or Jesus Christ in a special way, and you are gloriously ushered into a new realm of overwhelming transformation.
The bitter reality is that a Christian can be active in the Kingdom service without an encounter. That was the case with Isaiah, the Messianic Prophet. From chapter one to five of the book named after him, he was a fiery preacher, declaring divine judgement upon the spiritually backslidden Israel. However, in chapter six, he had an encounter with God that totally overhauled and revolutionized his spiritual life. There are countless numbers of Christians who are serving God but have no relationship with Him. The greatest tragedy is to claim to be a believer, yet without an encounter with Jesus.
There is an encounter that precedes every spiritual renewal, every spiritual exploit, and repositioning for glory. There is an encounter that must happen for you to fulfil your destiny. There is an encounter that must happen for your star to shine, for your glory to manifest, for your breakthrough to spring forth, and for your ministry or calling to start making impact. Simon Peter and other Apostles had such a deep and genuine encounter.
In our Fire Scripture, we read the account of the encounter that Peter and his partners had with Jesus. They had toiled all night without catching a single fish. However, an encounter with Jesus Christ changed such an ugly trajectory of their story. Meanwhile, the profound lesson of their encounter with Jesus is stated in verse eleven, “… they forsook all and followed Him.” Encounter with Jesus Christ will always cost you something dear. It may be that very thing you have been cherishing for many years. Are you seriously interested in having an encounter with Jesus?
