MFM Daily Devotional 10 December 2024 Message

Jesus said, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The word “church” means a called-out assembly or congregation. God called Israel out of Egypt; they congregated in the wilderness; they were “the church in the wilderness”. Today, God calls the saved ones out of the world to congregate in worship.

This is the church in the world, but not of the world. Unlike the church in the wilderness, the church that Jesus is building will never cease. He said, “The gates of Hades shall not overpower it.” His church is His body, His bride. Jesus Himself is the head of the church and its chief Shepherd.

READ MFM Daily Devotional 9 December 2024 – Come And Obtain Grace

As believers, you and I are Christ’s sheep or flock. The church of Christ comprises those who know Him as their personal Saviour and Lord (Matthew 7:2 — 23). Only blood-washed, born-again, Spirit-baptized believers constitute the church that Jesus is building. Do you belong to the Church? Do you know Jesus superficially or do you have an intimate relationship with Him?

On the day of Pentecost, the church received the power to evangelize the world. When the hundred and twenty came down from the Upper Room, they came in the dynamics of the Holy Spirit. It was a spiritual phenomenon issuing forth in joyful ecstasy and miracle-working power, resulting in the conviction of sin, “repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ”. When you become a member of Christ’s church, you come under the cover of the power of the Holy Ghost who will give you the power to do supernatural things.

All power is given to Jesus in heaven and on earth. He will only give this power to His friends and as many that are willing to obey His command. His command to His disciples is to go and make more disciples. Beloved, how many people have you led to Christ since you were born again? Indeed, Jesus is building His church and those who have Him as their Shepherd will never lack anything good. Beloved, join a living church, become a soldier in the army of Jesus Christ, offer your life and all in service to God. Your life and destiny will take a glorious turn.
