TOPIC – Why Missions? (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 20 May 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 5, Nehemiah 6, Nehemiah 37 John 1, John 2
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 13:1-12 (KJV)
1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
MEMORY VERSE: The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? – John 4:28-29 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Don’t stay in the boat when God is calling you to step out on the water.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: The event that will rubbish all your past sins and bring out God’s best in you, let it happen today, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Missions is the act of sending people out to various parts of the world for the purpose of evangelizing and winning souls to God’s Kingdom.
Missions is part of our identity. 1 Peter 2:9 says: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” God made us a people for His own possession to tell others of His greatness and especially, the sacrifice He made to save us.

Missions is part of our faith and also because Jesus commanded it. By our faith in Christ, we have entrusted our lives to Him. Therefore, we should trust Him enough to obey His command to “go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15). Missions indeed is inseparable from our faith. Proclaiming the Gospel is not just important because we are commanded to do it. God uses us to bring the good news of Jesus to those who need a Saviour. (Romans 15:20). The world needs the Good News, and as Christians, we have the Good News-Jesus. The Samaritan woman believed that Jesus was good news, too good to keep to herself (John 4:28-30).
Jesus delivered us from sin, bringing us into a relationship with God and giving us joy and peace. In a world of sin and suffering, others need this Good News also. Moreso, to whom much is given, much is expected. Jesus has saved you from sin and eternal perdition; you need to rise for the rescue of other souls who are on the fast track to hell fire. So, begin to get yourself involved in missions. When we do missions work, God works through us to bring healing and deliverance to the hurting, the hopeless, the sick, and the perishing.
Missions is spreading the praise, worship, and the blessings of God to those who are not yet worshippers. We are doing that because just like God, we want all the peoples of the earth to join in His praise, by so doing, God’s glory is increased. Missions work could be in sending, going, or giving. So, get enlisted! This is because we would be held accountable for any soul that perishes in hell due to our indifference to Missions.
