BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 13, 2 Chronicles 14, 2 Chronicles 15, 1 Corinthians 14:20-40, Psalm 101:1-8
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:3-14 (KJV)
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
MEMORY VERSE: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” – Matthew 24:14
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
Persecution is not a sign of rejection but a loud call for preparation.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Pray about everything, worry about nothing!
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I PROPHESY UPON YOU THAT YOUR GAZE SHALL NOT BE REMOVED FROM CALVARY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MFM Devotional For Today 2022 MESSAGE:
Today makes it the fourth day we have been treating the signs of the times. One critical fact we have been stressing is that the signs are already upon this generation and they point to the second advent of Jesus Christ. Some of these signs are of a frightful dimension in consonant with the statement of Jesus in Luke 21:26, “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”
The question I want to ask you now is – Are you part of the refined atheists in Christendom? These are men and women in the kingdom of God who carry the Bible, read the Bible and even preach the Bible, yet they do not believe the stand of the Bible on many issues.

From today’s Fire Scripture, the other signs of the times are noteworthy. One of them is the high-scale persecution and killing of believers. The rate and spate of the killing of Christians in this generation are becoming alarming. Countless Christians are suffering from cruel persecution in many nations of the world; even in nations that are supposed to be Christian nations.
The stark reality is that persecution and martyrdom of Christians will continue till our Master returns to take us away. Remember Jesus said in John 15:20, “Remember the word that l said unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;…”
The great Apostle Paul in his letter to the Thessalonians also painted this picture of persecution. 1 Thessalonians 3:3 says, “That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.” Therefore, the present suffering of our fellow brethren all over the world is a loud signal of the end times to us. We shall continue tomorrow by God’s grace. Meanwhile, have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb?
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
- Thank You, Jesus, for Your shed blood for me upon the Cross of Calvary.
- Resurrection power, arise, saturate my life, in the name of Jesus.
- I shall not miss eternity, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Blood of Jesus, barricade my life from the invasion of hell, in the name of Jesus.
- Holy Ghost, order my steps aright, in the name of Jesus.
- Enemies of my soul, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.
- Arrows from the pit of hell fired against my life, backfire, in the name Jesus.
