MFM Mountain Top Life Devotional 13th March 2020 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Believer’s Matching Orders
TOPIC: Believer’s Matching Orders
FIRE SCRIPTURE
Matt. 10:5-8; John 14:12; Mark 16:17-18; Luke 10:19
MESSAGE
God is giving you marching orders today. God is raising you up to cause headache for the kingdom of darkness; and you are expected to make the kingdom of darkness panic. The Lord expects us to be creating headache for our enemies. But it is unfortunate to see that the enemies are oppressing believers instead.
I used to have some troublesome friends in those days, (I mean troublesome as Christian warriors not as a hooligans.) One day at a vigil, they prayed the following prayer point: “Let all satanic transport services grind to a halt, in the name of Jesus.” As they were praying violently, all of a sudden, a nicely dressed handsome young man landed on the floor and was saying: “What brought me down, what am I doing here?” And they told him without mincing words that he had been brought down by the power of the Holy Spirit backing up their prayers.
I know some believers who dare not attend vigils or pray fire prayers, simply because the Christian marching order is not clear to them. Our marching orders are clearly spelt out here. We were commanded to: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out the devils.” (Matt. 10:8). As you continue to grow in your Christian life, if you fail to carry out any of these before you go and meet the Lord, you would have lived a powerless Christian life.

What does the Lord expect us to be doing practically? How does the Lord want us to carry out our marching orders? Should we just be hiding from our enemies? No! Your marching orders are: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and freely cast out the devils.”
MEMORY VERSE
Ezekiel 34:5 “And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.”
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
When it appears as if everywhere is dark, watch out. You will soon witness the sparkling of bright stars. Darkness will fade and brightness will warm your heart.
PROPHETIC WORD
Those who deserve multiple breakthroughs, give them those breakthroughs.
TODAY’S HYMN – Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchased of God,
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.
Chorus
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercies, whispers of love.
3. Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting looking above,
Fill’d with His goodness, lost in His love
