1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

MFM Devotional For Today 2022 MESSAGE:
Having or seeing a crowd is not uncommon in our world, especially in the metropolis. Physically, the crowd limits your moving forward, reduces your speed or totally prevents you from reaching your goal in good time. As it is in the physical so it is in the spiritual.
At the time of Jesus, some people could have lost their divine opportunities because they couldn’t push through the crowd. The sick man in our Fire Scripture would have missed out being healed by Jesus, if his friends did not persist through the crowd, even to the point of lowering him done through the roof. What ingenuity and uncommon wisdom!
Standing out in the crowd comes with a price, and at times a sacrifice. These include making personal efforts to break free and break through the crowd. In the crowd, you hear the voices of dissension, counsels and persuasive talks that do not favour your life and destiny, neither in agreement with God’s word. There is the spirit of compromise and unholy conformity in the crowd. Decide to stand out beloved, and be on the Lord’s side.
Blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52, would not have received his sight if he has listened to the crowd. The Bible says he shouted the more, louder than each rebuke to silence him. At last, Jesus heard him, he attended to his case and he regained his sight. Let Jesus attend to your case today and settle you, in the name of Jesus.
Not everyone in the crowd is a peace seeker. Each person has his or her reasons for being in the crowd. Why then should you as a child of God be found in the mixed multitude. Jesus calls His children out of the crowd in 2 Corinthians 6: 17, “Be ye separate”. Even in the crowd of believers, people are there with different reasons and agenda, decide to do the needful without hindrance. The disciples of Jesus were called forth from a group of persons. It is a thing of value when you recognise your uniqueness. It becomes easier to fulfil divine purpose when you’re set apart for the Lord.
Evil communication, the Bible says, corrupts good manners. You must choose to walk wisely and in accordance with the word of God. In fact, we are called to peaceful and harmonious relationships as believers in Christ, at the same time, you should move and relate with destiny promoters and not demoters. God singles out his servants by calling them out of the busy crowd to the assignment He has for them. If not, they risk falling into distractions. Bottom line: beware of the crowd!
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
My Father, pull me out of every evil entanglement, in the name of Jesus.
Agenda of evil crowd in my life be destroyed, in the name of Jesus.
O Lord, position me correctly for Your blessings, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
Powers assigned to block my way to progress, scatter, in the name of Jesus.
I silence the evil voices speaking against my testimony, in the name of Jesus.
Satanic crowd around my place of divine manifestations, lose your bearing and scatter beyond regathering, in the name of Jesus.
My Father, single me out for uncommon breakthroughs, no matter the crowd, in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING (TO BE SAID DAILY)
Father in the name of Jesus, I thank You for:
Drawing me to prayer and power,
The salvation of my soul,
Baptizing me with the Holy Spirit,
Producing spiritual gifts upon my life,
The fruits of the spirit working in me,
The wonderful gift of praise,
All the ways You have intervened in my affairs,
Your divine plan for my life,
You will never leave me nor forsake me,
Bringing me to a place of maturity and deeper life,
Lifting me up when I fall,
Keeping me in perfect peace,
Making all things work together for good for me,
Protecting me from the snares of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence,
The wonder-working power in Your Word and in the Blood of the Lamb,
Giving Your angels charge over me,
Fighting for me against my adversaries,
Making me more than a conqueror,
Supplying all my needs according to Your riches in glory,
Your healing power upon my body, soul and spirit,
Flooding my heart with the light of heaven,
Always causing me to triumph in Christ Jesus,
Turning my curses into blessings,
Enabling me to dwell in safety,
All the blessings of life,
Your greatness, power, glory, majesty, splendor and righteousness,
Silencing the foe and the avenger,
You are at my right hand and I shall not be moved,
You are trustworthy and will help Your own,
Not allowing my enemies to rejoice over me,
Your wonderful love,
You are great and greatly to be praised,
Delivering my soul from death and my feet from stumbling,
You are my fortress and refuge in time of trouble,
Your faithfulness and marvellous deeds,
Your act of power and surpassing greatness,
Dispersing spiritual blindness from my spirit,
Lifting me out of the depths,
Preserving me and keeping my feet from slipping,
Your name is a strong tower, the righteous runs into it and he is safe.
