FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 26:36-46 (KJV)
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

MFM Devotional For Today 2022 MESSAGE:
The Bible teaches believers to respect the divine process, time and season. Habakkuk 2:3 says, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Romans 5:6 talks about due time and Galatians 4:4-5 says that when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son to redeem those that were under the law. Similarly, Philippians 1:6 affirms the relevance of the divine process, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Dear reader, if you don’t respect the process, you will not get the best result. Bread making has a process. Soup-making does. Planting and harvesting involve a process too. Many people love to circumvent the natural and spiritual process. What they get as a result are problems and challenges.
Jesus, our Royal Master, respected the process. You should too. God wouldn’t have taken the cup away from Jesus because that was not in line with the divine process. Drinking the cup was eternally an integral part of the process that will complete or perfect His purpose of coming to earth and actualising the divine plan of redemption. I encourage you to go to the Lord in prayer, learn the process for the actualisation of your destiny in life and cooperate with God patiently for the time of fulfilment to be ripe. Those who seek to run before learning to crawl and walk will blame themselves for despising the process. There is a time to start a thing and a time to finish it! There is a time to plant and a time to harvest. Between these two time frames, there are activities that must take place.
All these require patience, waiting and faith ( Isaiah 40:31). It is unfortunate that this generation detests patience, waiting and faith. However, beloved, do not join the bandwagon of impatient and faithless Christians and their faulty approach to life and issues of life. You must learn to patiently wait for God and trust Him if you desire to succeed in life and fulfil your destiny. Be prepared to pay this price and God will reward you handsomely, in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
- Holy Spirit, teach me to be patient in all situations, in the name of Jesus.
- My Father, help me to respect and honour Your timing above my personal ambition, in the name of Jesus.
- O Lord, help me not to lean on my understanding or run ahead of You, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Spirit of impatience, depart from me, in the name of Jesus.
- Spirit of unbelief, I bind and cast you out of my life, in the name of Jesus.
- I receive the grace to wait for the fulfilment of God’s word in my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Power assigned to make me miss my divinely appointed time, fail woefully and die, in the name of Jesus.
Salvation Prayer: To experience the love and the many folds of God’s blessing there’s a need to be part of him by being born again. If you are ready to be part of this noble family kindly pray this prayer with me:
Lord Jesus, I believe you are the son of God who paid the price for my sins on the cross of Calvary, I believe you are risen and defeated in death. I repent from everything that’s dishonouring to your name, I receive you as my lord and personal saviour and I come into eternal life. Amen. Thank you, Lord, for saving me.
