MFM DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 2026 MESSAGE
God can touch the most hardened individuals to bring about unimaginable transformation. Many instances in scriptures attest to this fact. One of such is the story of king Manasseh, Hezekiah’s son, who reigned in Judah. He perpetrated so much evil and refused to walk in the ways of his father who brought great reform to the land. Verses two to eight of our Fire Scripture record the evil deeds of Manasseh.
He refused to yield to several warnings until God raised the Assyrians to take him into captivity. It took the sufferings in captivity to bring Manasseh to a total surrender. Then, Manasseh humbly sought the Lord and cried to God in prayer. God heard his prayers and his supplications. Manasseh received mercy from the Lord in spite of his idolatry and wickedness. As terrible as his sins were, his hardened heart was softened. Manasseh became a new man. He undid all the evils he had done (vv. 15-16).
PREVIOUS DEVOTIONAL
I don’t know what sins you have committed. They could be more terrible than Manasseh’s but God is able to forgive and restore you as He did for Manasseh. Anyone who comes to Jesus in genuine repentance can find forgiveness of sins, and receive grace and power for a fresh start from the Lord. If God could forgive Manasseh, He will forgive you. Is there anyone you need to intercede for? Please pray, so that such hardened hearts will receive the transformative touch of God.
Manasseh was anti-God, but when he realized his folly, he found his way back to God in humility and repentance and God forgave him. He became a restorer and a reformer. God did the same for Saul of Tarsus. This former persecutor of the brethren became one of the greatest apostles who did exploits for God. God can do the same in your life. You shall be divinely translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light of His dear Son, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13). You will become a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17).
