TOPIC: A Divine Escape (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 22 July 2020)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 126-132
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 23:12-24 (KJV)
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
ANY POWER ASSIGNED AGAINST MY EXISTENCE SHALL SCATTER TO PIECES.
The MESSAGE:
Today, we are looking at the mystery of divine escape. In today’s session, we shall look at what it takes to overcome the snare of the enemy. A woman had five sons, four of whom were married and for many years, none of them had a child. The fifth one was about to marry and luckily for him, he was given a book from M.F.M. He did not understand the prayers but he prayed them anyway. One day, the Lord told him that he should not sleep with his wife for the first seven days of their wedding. He told his fiance and she agreed.
On the wedding night, the bride came close and he reminded her of their agreement. The following day, the same thing happened. On the third day, the newly wedded wife got angry and struggled with her husband and even tore his clothes, but he stood firm and did not sleep with her. On the fourth day, he got a phone call from home that his mother was dying. The couple rushed there and the mother said she had a confession to make. She said she was a witch and had donated the sperms of her five sons, and that was why they had no children. The covenant she made was to spiritually collect the sperms of her sons, on the first three days of their marriage. She had succeeded in the lives of the other four but when it got to the turn of the last one, she found out that they were not having sexual intercourse.
She had only three days to carry out the operation, that was why the pressure was high from the bride on the third day and since she could not donate the sperm, she had to die. That was why she sent for the man and his wife and then she died. That brother is the only one that has children out of the five men till today. Beloved, just as evil agents have vowed to destroy Paul the Apostle, there are powers that are bent on swallowing your destiny. You must pray against such powers.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
Every internal power assigned against my breakthroughs, die! in the name of Jesus.
Every power, flying against my breakthroughs, die! in the name of Jesus.
Any sickness assigned to overtake my life, die, in the name of Jesus.
I withdraw my breakthroughs from every evil altar, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
Strange words assigned to trap me, scatter, in the name of Jesus.
I withdraw my glory from every evil altar, in the name of Jesus.
Every evil pot raised to control my life, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
I withdraw my prosperity from every evil altar, in the name of Jesus.
