MFM Daily Devotional 23 November 2024 Message

During his earthly ministry, Jesus gave several warnings to encourage His disciples (and that includes us). One of such words of wisdom is that anyone who receives the man or woman He sends receives Him and the Father who sent Him.

He added that whoever recognizes, receives, and honours a prophet in the name of a prophet will get the prophet’s reward. The prophet’s reward refers to the eternal rewards credited to his account because of his service to God. Every time you receive and support a prophet, heaven will credit both the prophet’s account and yours.

READ MFM Daily Devotional 21 November 2024 – The Spirit Of Rebekah

The widow of Zarephath got a request from Elijah that she found difficult to meet. Nevertheless, at the risk of her life and her son’s, she obliged. In 1 Kings 17:13, the man of God had said unto her, “Fear not, go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.” Because the widow obeyed, she and her son enjoyed a supernatural supply and didn’t lack food throughout the famine.

Similarly, Elisha, prophet Elijah’s successor, also made a woman enjoy the prophet’s reward for her hospitality. Elisha was always passing through Shunem and the Shunammite woman told her husband that she perceived that Elisha was a holy man of God. She suggested that they provide him shelter and food each time he came to town.

The husband agreed and the woman took good care of Elisha and his servant, Gehazi. One day, Elisha thought it was time he rewarded the woman for her hospitality. Then Gehazi drew the attention of Elisha to the fact that she had no child. When Elisha sent for her, he decreed fruitfulness into her life, “About the season, according to time of life, thou shalt embrace a son…” That marked the end of her barrenness.

Take time to find out a need in the life of your pastor or minister. Sow a seed into his or her life to meet that need; you will get the prophet’s reward. Note also that the prophet’s reward is not limited to physical rewards on earth, but it includes rewards in eternity.
