TOPIC: Stepping Out Of The Web Of Unhealthy Self-Esteem (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 6 October 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 8:1-13; Luke 7
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:1-17, Ephesians 2:4-10, Isaiah 40:31
Philippians 3:1-17:
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Ephesians 2:4-10:
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Isaiah 40:31:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
MEMORY VERSE: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” – Philippians 4:8
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
You are born to be real and not perfect. Don’t live in the shadow of another. Live the life that God has created you to live.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
AS YOU CONNECT TO THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD TODAY, MAY YOU BE SET FREE FROM ALL SELF-INFLICTED BONDAGES, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Beloved, you cannot afford to remain in unhealthy self-esteem’s web of destruction. It is time you stepped out into the freedom that Jesus Christ wrought for those who believe in Him.

Your starting point is to get back to God and redefine yourself in the light of God’s word. You need to appreciate the divine value that God has placed upon your life. You are more precious than gold to God.
You are created in His image. This implies that no matter your shape or size, it can be found in the Person of God. So, come off the complex. Shake off your fears! Be bold and be strong, because the Lord is with you. When you are weak, He will make you strong. When you fall, even seven times, you shall rise again. All because God has given His word; it is Yes and Amen. It never fails!
Begin to think and act right. Speak edifying words, even to yourself. According to Philippians 4:8, let positive things flow from your heart. You will act positively and your words will carry grace. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in all your ways. When you are Spirit-led, you will act in conformity with your divine personality. You no longer see failure but success, and you are ready to explore and manifest your potentials.
Are you afraid to take risks and surmount challenges? Don’t be like the ten spies who saw fear, failure and defeat. But in spite of the overwhelming figure of the giants and other obvious impediments, Joshua and Caleb saw faith, breakthrough and total victory by the power of the Lord God of Israel (Numbers 13). With God on your side you shall experience healthy self-esteem, in the name of Jesus.
Choose the right company. A companion of wise men shall increase in wisdom (Proverbs 13:20). Make friends with those who would add value to your life. Refuse the company of grumblers and complainers. It tends to failure discouragement and bitterness. Depart from all attitudes of mere performances and sycophant behaviour. Be real! God is able to perfect your imperfections.
Set healthy and attainable goals and with prayers you will accomplish them. Feed on the Word of God consistently; let it dwell richly in you. Claim the promises and let them remind you of God’s faithfulness at all times. Believe that He that started His good work in you will perfect it.
