FIRE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 5:9-14 (KJV)
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
God’s rule for all living things is to grow or die. It is a rule which nobody can change. If it is a plant, anytime it stops growing, it will die. If it is a person, even an animal, once it stops growing, it will die. It is the same thing with man’s spiritual life. The moment you stop growing spiritually, you die. However, there are things that affect spiritual growth.

Spiritual growth doesn’t just happen. There are conditions to be met. Remember that growth is a process. For example, for you to grow maize, you need a good seed, the right soil, water, etc. There would be no growth if nothing is planted. Without these necessary conditions, all effort to grow the maize would end in futility. If you plant nothing into your spiritual life and you are expecting growth to come, you are wasting time. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in; the action of the Holy Spirit is essential to the believer to purify his spiritual life, just as chlorophyll is to the green plants.
The process starts with the new birth. That is, salvation through Christ. Having surrendered your life to Christ, the good soil has been prepared for the seed of God’s word to germinate and grow as the Holy Spirit waters it. Failure to read, study and meditate on God’s word will lead to leanness of soul, poor and stunted spiritual growth.
It is important to know that growth comes with a lot of discomfort. To grow in anything, you must face challenges; it is your ability to surmount these challenges that gives you success. Just like every fruit is first of all bitter before it is ripe, so also there is no growth without pain. As you endure the pain of persecution and you persevere, you overcome the challenges of life and become a better person in the Lord. Through such experience, you produce spiritual fruits that are able to shape your life and make you more like Jesus. Interestingly, spiritual growth is a continuous process and a lifelong experience in your Christian journey until Christ comes. I pray that your spiritual life shall be fruitful and not stagnant, in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
- Spirit of stagnancy, depart from my life, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, realign my life to Your will, in the name of Jesus.
- My Father, help me to grow steadily in You till the end, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Let every ordinance or decision of the enemy against my life be frustrated, in the name of Jesus.
- Powers assigned to stop me, die, in the name of Jesus.
- I shall not be barren spiritually, in the name Jesus.
- Power quenchers assigned against my spiritual advancement, die, in the name of Jesus.
