TOPIC: They That Know Their God (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 19 October 2025)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 33:1-34:22; 1 Timothy 4-1-16; Psalm 80:1-13; Proverbs 25:23-24
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 18:22-40 (KJV)
22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.
31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.
40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
MEMORY VERSE: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” – Matthew 6:24 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
The story of a man called Elijah in the Bible revealed to us a man that was consumed with passion to stand for the truth always. Verse 22 of our Fire Scripture for today reads, “Then said Elijah unto the people, I even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD, but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.” However, despite this and the great atrocity committed by the children of Israel, Elijah challenged the people to make a definitive choice between following God or following Baal. Just as we Christians behave nowadays, Israel believed they could worship God and deities at the same time. Jesus also warned against this in Matthew 6:24.
Beloved, God is looking for men and women who will stand by the truth. The honest question you must ask yourself today is this: Can God depend on me? Elijah stood against the 450 prophets of baal. Prophet Micaiah spoke the mind of God to Ahab, despite the assurance earlier given by 400 prophets in 1 Kings 22:28. As a pillar and ambassador of truth, prophet Micaiah said, “If thou return at all in peace the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said; hearken O people, every one of you.”
So many were once confronted with situations where they had to choose between life and death, denying or upholding their faith, deny Jesus and live or proclaim Him as your Lord and die, especially in the northern part of Nigeria. Many compromised while some stood their ground. If it were you, what would you have done? Remember Jesus said if you deny me on earth, I will do the same to you in heaven. You have a choice to make today.
Beloved, the imminent second coming of Jesus is around the corner. We make decisions and choices everyday. I advise you not to gamble with your life and destiny. Don’t play game with God as many are doing. Live for Jesus day after day. Live for Him, come what may. Let the Holy Spirit always guide You in the choices you make. Obey Him always and in all things. It is well with you.
