FIRE SCRIPTURE
Matthew 6:25-34
25 “So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it. 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are? 27 You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the wildflowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves. 29 But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. 30 If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? It’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small!
31 “Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. 33 What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need. 34 So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries.
MFM MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE:
The biggest and the most dangerous fear you must avoid is the fear of the unknown or fear of uncertainly, Often, people trouble themselves with the question “what next?”
A man of God was counselling an old man many years back. He told the old man to surrender his life to Jesus and join a Bible believing church. The old man told the man of God that he could not attend his church because there is no burial ground there where he would be buried when he dies. The man of God told him to die first and forget about where he would be buried.
Beloved, can you see the level of that fear? A living person was afraid of surrendering his life to Jesus just because of the fear of where and how he would be buried. Many people are afraid of what will happen next.
For example, mere seeing three to four vehicles in a filling station will throw some people into panic buying of petrol. Many houses and properties have been destroyed by fire because of petrol that was stored in houses and shops.
Matthew 6:34 warns that you should not worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. Worrying about tomorrow is a time waster. The person who worries about tomorrow is consumed by fear and finds it difficult to trust God. Such a person may make mistakes that will interfere with his or her relationship with God.
Rejection is another reason why people fear. In Exodus 4:1, Moses’ fear was caused by worrying about how the people might respond to him. We often panic over what might go wrong. Moses gave a lot of excuses why he could not go to Egypt to deliver his people. He was afraid of being rejected by the people.
God will not ask you to do something or go where He has not provided the means to help. Trust Him to supply courage and resources at the right moment.
PRAYER POINTS:

5. I shall not die but live, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
6. I shall walk in victory all the days of my life, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
7. I recover every good thing that the spirit of fear has stolen from my life, in the Name of Jesus.
