TOPIC: Look Only Unto Jesus, Not Your Problem (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 17 June 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 24, Psalm 25, Psalm 26, Romans 8, Romans 9.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 14:22-33 (KJV)
22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
MEMORY VERSE: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. – Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: God is bigger and greater than any problem you have.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: May you never lose focus of the Master as you journey through life, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
The Bible counsels us to look only unto Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. We should not focus on the size of our problems nor the threatening situations around us. Obeying this divine counsel is a demonstration of faith, just like a little child who simply obeys instructions without questions.

The moment your gaze is shifted from Christ, fear sets in. If you fail to trust in Him and bother more about the challenging situation confronting you, you get distracted and lose focus. God didn’t promise us a problem-free experience as Christians. However, the promise of God in Isaiah 26:3 stands sure if you can stand by it. Your faith must be firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.
The enemy tries to take advantage of us once we get distracted. As long as Peter believed and trusted the One who had called him to come, he could walk on water; he could do that which was humanly impossible. However, immediately he shifted his gaze from Jesus, doubts took over. Jesus was no longer in charge of his mind. He “saw the contrary wind on the water.” He became afraid and began to sink. The same thing happens to us when we choose to focus on our problems rather than on Jesus; we will sink under the weight.
As Christians, we know Who we believe! With Jesus and through Him, we can overcome tough times and challenges. God is the Almighty! No knowledge of man, not even science, can define His size. That’s why a chorus goes thus: “God is bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears, bigger than all the mountains I can or cannot see.”
The lesson from today’s devotional is never to take our gaze away from Jesus. He is able to calm the storm of our lives. God is still in the business of working miracles. Stay steadfastly connected to God. Refuse to doubt! Don’t be distracted! Say No to fear and unbelief! Jesus remains Lord over all our challenges. In Him and through Him, we are more than conquerors! Alleluia!
