MFM DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 2026 MESSAGE 

God can decide to visit a man at any time, any how He wants it. Therefore, it is not in man to choose how he/she wants to be visited by God. Sometimes, we try to box God to a corner on how we want it done. Naaman went to God’s Prophet to be healed; he also wanted to choose his method of healing. He already had a pre-conceived mindset of how the healing process should go. Probably because he had seen a particular method work for others, he thought that would always be the method.

In his case, Elisha did not even bother to come out to see who he was. He just sent an instruction to Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan river and that’s all. But to Naaman, that was too simple. In the real sense, Naaman was expecting something costlier and more rigorous like fire prayers, days of fasting, etc.

PREVIOUS DEVOTIONAL

 

This is the case with many people; they don’t believe they can be visited by simply obeying simple instructions or partaking in simple activities like praise and worship, listening to other people’s testimonies, dancing, giving, clapping, etc. They always believe that miracles can only come through rigorous activities like fasting, going to mountains to pray, etc. If it will not make them sweat, to them, it cannot bring a miracle. Some don’t even appear in church until it is time for only fire prayers, ignoring other aspects of the church service and forgetting that God can even choose to pay a visit during opening prayers.

Beloved, it is true that for certain battles in life, a bit of rigour must be engaged. For such, fasting, deep prayers and even waiting upon the Lord may be required. But for others, it could just be a “wash and be clean” kind of instruction that is needed. “And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?”

 

PRAYER POINT

 

MORNING
1. My ‘wash and be clean’ miracles, appear by fire, in the name of Jesus.

2. My “just like that’ testimonies, locate me by fire, in the name of Jesus.

3. Little efforts, great results, my life is available; locate me, in the name of Jesus.

 

EVENING
4. Wicked powers on assignment to make my life difficult, you are liars; you shall not perform your enterprise, die and be wasted, in the name of Jesus.

5. Negative mindsets, hindering the move of God in my life, I tear you down, in the name of Jesus.

6. Refiner’s fire of God, purge my heart, in the name of Jesus.

7. I shall not miss my time of divine visitation, in the name of Jesus.
