TOPIC: From Mockery To Miracle (2) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 23 February 2024)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 7, Deuteronomy 8, Deuteronomy 9, 2 Corinthians 8, 2 Corinthians 9
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 2:1-11 (KJV)
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
MEMORY VERSE: “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” – Psalm 30:5 (KJV)

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY
IN THE ORDER OF HANNAH, I DECREE THAT YOU WILL PRAY YOUR WAY TO BREAKTHROUGH, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we learnt that God specialises in moving His children from mockery to miracle. It does not matter whether the challenge a child of God is facing is from God or satan. It was God that shut Hannah’s womb. She clung to the same God in faith and prayer. He graciously visited Hannah and moved her from mockery to miracle. I pray that as Hannah did not die a barren and Naaman did not die a leper, you will not die with that challenge, in the Name of Jesus.

Why does God move people from mockery to miracle? First, He does so to demonstrate His faithfulness. He is the prayer-answering God. He said, “Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you will glorify my Name (Psalm 50:15). He answered Hannah’s cry; He will answer yours too! Second, He does so to display His miracle-working power and almightiness. In opening Hannah’s womb, God proved to all (believers and unbelievers) that all power belongs to Him and that nothing is impossible with Him. Third, He does so to show forth His glory among the unbelievers and to win them. The Bible says that unless people see signs, they would not believe (John 4:48). Naaman praised and worshipped the God of Israel when he received his miraculous cleansing.
Beloved, here are some steps you should take if you want God to move you from mockery to miracle: (1) Be born again. That is where your change begins. You must have a good relationship with God. Hannah was God’s humble servant and true worshipper in spite of her challenge. (2) Be a prayer warrior. Prayer changes things positively. It will bring the power of God to bear in your situation. Hannah was a prayer warrior. She prayed her way to breakthrough. You should do the same. (3) Have an unwavering faith. Hannah kept going to Shiloh year in year out, praying to God and believing Him for her miracle. (4) Be broken and persistent. Brokenness will make you tolerant, patient and disciplined. Hannah’s brokenness made her not to miss the blessing that Eli released to her life. (5) Make a vow to God and keep it.
I encourage you to deploy all those keys that Hannah used and God will graciously move you from mockery to miracle, in Jesus’ Name.
