MFM Daily Devotional 7 November 2024 Message
The Fire Scripture today gives us a picture of a period when the Israelites backslid during the days of Elijah. They tried to serve God and Baal at the same time. They will obey God to a particular level and also mix it up with paying allegiance to the ways of Baal. This particular lifestyle brought God’s judgement upon them and he withdrew rain from falling on their land. True worship stems from a total submission to the will of God. It is an absolute commitment to follow God all the way. We are not called to worship God partially; we are called to serve Him with all our being.
A Haitian pastor told an old parable: A certain man wanted to sell his house for two thousand dollars. Another man wanted to buy it very badly, but he was a poor man and didn’t have the full price. After much bargaining, the owner agreed to sell the house to the man for one thousand dollars. But the reduced price came with a condition. The owner would sell the house, but he would keep the ownership of a nail protruding from over the front door.

Several years later, the original owner decided he wanted to buy the house back. Understandably, the new owner was unwilling to sell. As a result, the original owner went out, found the carcass of a dead dog in the street, and hung it from the nail he still owned. Soon the house became unlivable, and the family was forced to sell to the owner of the nail.
The Haitian Pastor concluded the story: If we leave the devil with even one small peg in our life, he will return to hang his rotting garbage on it. You may own the entire home, but if you give the enemy access to just one nail in your life, it will definitely put you in the high risk bracket.
Beloved, is there a nail over the front door of your life? A nail you have leased out to the enemy? If there is, you need to remove it and give Christ the full control of your life.
