BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 49, Isaiah 50, Luke 15, Luke 16.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Galatians 1:1-10 (KJV)
1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
MEMORY VERSE: “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” – 2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
In today’s Fire Scripture and memory verse, Paul addressed the issue of the dwindling faith of the Galatian Christians, who at conversion were zealous for God, but were now losing their faith and at the edge of following other doctrines. In fact, he wasted not too much time in laying a curse on whoever seeks to preach another gospel that is different from Christ’s to the people of God (Gal 1:6-8)
Paul was so confident of the fact that they delivered the gospel of Christ to the Galatians; hence, he termed the strange doctrine,” another gospel” and decreed that the propagator of such evil news be cursed. Remember, Jesus warned us. Now the apostles experienced it. No doubt, we are having it so much in our world. The book of Timothy also warns us that at the end of times, knowledge will increase and the love of many shall wax cold, and their ears shall itch for ungodly things because they lack interest in the things of God.
Undoubtedly, those days are here! Paul spoke of Demas who was one of his faithful followers, but suddenly got drifted into the world, away from Christ. In 2 Timothy 4:10, he said, “…..for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica;” What a loss! Today, there are many Demases, men and women who laboured for Christ but are lost from the fold or backsliding into the world, back into their vomit from where they were delivered and saved. There is a subtle and gradual drawback from church, especially by many of the young ones. They consider some churches to be too conservative and ancient. They attend some others where they believe the teachings are more relaxed and accommodating for sin and all kinds of unrighteousness. Little do they know that it is a broad way to hell and destruction, a spiritual assassination of their destiny! Adults are not excluded either. Many long-term Christians are falling away due to inability to wait on God in their times of trouble. Have you forgotten that long suffering is a part of the fruit of the Spirit? God often allows us to go through some rough roads so that we can be well-moulded and become mature, strong enough for the next assignment.
Beloved, beware of strange doctrines!
PRAYER POINTS:
