FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 17:14-21 (KJV)
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
God’s Word as taught in the Bible, clearly teaches that Christ wants the lives of His children to be characterised by supernatural works and living. Jesus wants our lives to be a testimony on a daily basis to Him. There are some challenging situations that even our Father in Heaven is waiting for our moves, He wants us to take the bull by the horns. Take the initiative. God cannot do everything for us especially, those ones He has already commissioned us to do by ourselves. The gospel of saint Mark 16:18 has this to say, “They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” This is a typical example of being commissioned to heal the sick, whether demon-inspired or witchcraft-inspired.

What is fasting? Fasting is the act of abstaining from food and sometimes drink for a period of time. It has been in practice right from the days of the Bible. It has been practised for centuries in various cultures and religions for spiritual growth, for health and therapeutic purposes. And also it has brought about dumbfounding miracles. Dear Beloved, when you fast and pray along, there is no telling what God can do. Death sentences have been reversed and health challenges that tend towards death have been replaced with good health and restoration. Secrets have been divulged as a result of fasting and prayer. Fasting and prayer helps to get the impossible done.
The advantages of prayer and fasting cannot be over-emphasised. Fasting and prayer brings our spirit to the subjection of the Holy Spirit and mortifies the flesh so that the spirit, which is the candle of God can have clear signals and reception from God. Proverbs 20:27 says, “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the depths of the heart.”
