2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Eve, in today’s Fire Scripture, started the whole episode of rebellion and sin that led to the fall of man at the beginning, and man lost his glory and position in the garden of Eden. If only she had held on strongly to the divine instruction without listening to or weighing the suggestion of the serpent, she would have saved herself and humanity from this initial fall.
Besides, Eve did not accept her fault and show remorse. Rather, she passed the blame to the devil when her husband, Adam put the blame on her. The question that comes to mind is this, on who will the serpent pass the blame?

Beloved, this blame-shifting attitude and practice is still very active in human beings—believers and non-believers alike. You find supposed Christians falling into unending arguments, making excuses, wasting valuable time to defend what can easily be accepted as a personal error or omission. Sometimes, it is possible to do things absentmindedly, or without thinking deeply about the outcome of such utterances or behaviours. At other times, we do things carelessly, or worse still, by a deliberate error. Either intentionally or unintentionally, as a mark of humility and meekness, every Christian should learn to take responsibility for their errors and decide to make their wrongs right—Even when you think you have done it correctly, but discovered it wasn’t well done. Then, you simply take correction and make amends. This is a mark of meekness and teachable spirit in you.
2 Chronicles 7:14 says that God will hear and forgive when His children repent and turn to Him. But those that cover their sins before God or try to put the blame on another person shall not prosper. Parents should be good role models in this regard. They should let their children learn from them how to accept corrections and criticisms objectively.
Beloved, it is time you looked inwards, acknowledge your pride, perfectionist attitude, arrogance, argumentative spirit and all such; repent of this ungodly attitude and do what God expects of you. Deal with these negative mindset and characteristics in your heart. Repentance will put an end to that shame and ridicule faster than doing a cover up.
PRAYER POINTS:

- Powers assigned to set me against myself, release my life and die, in the Name of Jesus.
- Spirit of blame-shifting that makes one to lose God’s presence and favour, come out of my life, die now, in the Name of Jesus.
