April 2, 2019 Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional : TOPIC : Awake From Your Spiritual Slumber

- , , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

April 2, 2019 Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional : TOPIC : Awake From Your Spiritual Slumber 




TOPIC : Awake From Your Spiritual Slumber 
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 16-18; Luke 7:1-30
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Revelator 3:1-6
MEMORY VERSE: “Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.” – Luke 12:37

The MESSAGE:
The message to Sardis is a warning to all great churches and believers that are living on past glory. All of the church’s man-made programs can never bring life beyond keeping empty believers busy and deceptively excited. The church is a spiritual body which was born when the Spirit of God descended on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2), and its life comes from the Spirit. When the Spirit is grieved, the church begins to lose life and power. When sin is confessed and church members get right with God and with each other, then the Spirit infuses new life and there is a great revival!
The church that suffers no opposition or persecution is likely to be complacent. The church in our study today would have been better off had there been some suffering, for it had grown comfortable and content and was living on its past reputation. There was reputation without reality, form without force. Like the city itself, the church at Sardis glorified in past splendour, but ignored present decay. Unknown to them was the fact that what they did have was about to die because the believers had gone to sleep. It is when the church leaders and members get accustomed to their blessings and complacent about their ministry that the enemy finds his way in. Sometimes it is a pastor’s fault that a church is dying, and the Lord of the church must remove the star and put another in his place.
Like most of our present day churches, the assembly in Sardis was not aggressive in its witness to the city. There was no persecution because there was no invasion of the enemy’s territory. No friction usually means no motion! The unsaved in Sardis saw the church as a respectable group of people who were neither dangerous nor desirable. They were decent people with a dying witness and a decaying ministry. What a pity!
The clarion call of the Lord is for the church to be watchful and wake up. The Lord admonished them to strengthen what remained and not to give up because the church was weak. Where there is life, there is hope! The first step toward renewal in a dying church is honest awareness that something is wrong. When an organism is alive, there is growth, repair, reproduction, and power; if these elements are lacking in a church, then that church is either dying or already dead.
The warning here is that we should not grow comfortable in our churches, lest we find ourselves slowly dying. The encouragement is that no church is beyond hope as long as there is a remnant in it, willing to strengthen the things that remain. Stand up today, make a difference, and be among the unpolluted remnant that will strengthen the church and bring about the much needed revival. The Lord is waiting for your prompt action. Do not disappoint Him. May His grace be mighty upon your life and ministry, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:REVIVAL IS NOT JUST AN EMOTIONAL TOUCH, IT’S A COMPLETE TAKEOVER!
PROPHETIC WORD:The Lord will revive every dead thing in your life.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
  1. Lord, use me as an agent of revival in Your church, in the name of Jesus.
  2. Spiritual complacency, depart from the Church of God by fire, in the name of Jesus.
  3. Blood of Jesus, wash our Church from every spiritual pollution, in the name of Jesus.
    EVENING
  4. Power to witness with fresh anointing, fall upon me now, in the name of Jesus.
  5. Holy Spirit, ignite the Church with Your fire, in the name of Jesus.
  6. Any good thing that is about to die in me, blood of Jesus, revive it now, in the name of Jesus.
  7. Power of the world over the Church of God, break by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
