FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 11:17-27
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

MFM Daily Devotional 8 September 2024 MESSAGE
We shall be looking at Jesus as the Life. John 3:16 says,”For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not die but have everlasting life.”
Today’s memory verse is also a direct affirmation of the fact that Jesus is Life and gives it in abundance to those Who believe in Him. Satan is a thief, a killer, and a destroyer. John 1:4 tells us that Jesus is the Life that lights life into all men.
Simply put, without Him, men would not exist. That is, take Jesus out of a man’s life and he is nothing but a walking corpse. Jesus is the One that brings illumination into the darkness of a man’s life, to brighten and beautify it.
Beloved, there is no beauty in darkness! Nothing can be done or appreciated in darkness. It takes the manifestation of light to bring the best in a man to bear. Jesus gives life and activates every dormant area of man.
READ MFM Daily Devotional 7 September 2024 – Jesus, The Way, The Truth And The Life (II)
He is the Vine to which we, as branches, are connected. John 15:4-5 says that unless we are connected to Him, the Source of life, we can’t do or achieve anything, nor can we be productive. It is to our advantage, therefore, to remain connected to the Life Himself, Jesus Christ.
In John 11:25, Jesus said, “I am the Resurrection and life, he that believeth in me shall live, though he were dead, yet shall live.” In the story of Lazarus, Jesus brought the dead back to life, notwithstanding the days he had been dead or laid in the grave.
With men such things are impossible but with God, all things are possible. Don’t forget, beloved, whoever God is, so is the Son. Jesus said, “I and my Father are one.” Do you desire life? Embrace Jesus! He is the 0nIy One who can bring dead persons and situations back to life. He gives new life to those who surrender their lives to Him and renews the strength of the weak.
Beloved, encounter Jesus Christ and know Him intimately. You will remain in the Way, and He will lead and direct your path. Above all, there is no Life except with Jesus. Let Him live in you and through you. Your eternity is secured.
