BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 26, 1 Samuel 27, 1 Samuel 28, 1 Peter 3, 1 Peter 4

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Chronicles 26:14-21 (KJV)

14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.

15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men:

18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God.

19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from beside the incense altar.

20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the Lord had smitten him.

21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

The problem of error is that the victims always seem to forget where they are coming from forgetting that it was by God’s grace that they survived their undignifying position before being lifted very high. In our fire scripture Uzziah seemed to have forgotten that all he had done was through the help of God and the favour God had given him through others. The result was pride and it led him into the sins of self-reliance and unfaithfulness.

The second chapter of the book of Philippians has this to say, verse 3, “Let nothing be done through strife and vain glory; but in holiness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” One of the primary enemies of unity amongst common Christians is the natural tendency of individuals to promote their own interests above others, not regarding the views and opinions of others. Part of our sinful, rebellious nature is self-centeredness. This is encouraged because the world does not reward humility, yet humility is a key factor among other Christian virtues. It is a key quality of Jesus’ character.

Dearly beloved, too often, after God’s people experience success, they tend to forget how they got there. As a result, they no longer depend on God, but set themselves up for failure. This was the story of king Uzziah in today’s fire scripture.

Uzziah fell into a great error because of pride by taking up the assignments meant for the priests. He did not repent, but continued till Azariah the priest and eighty other priests confronted him. He was disgraced, the king of the whole land. Humility, apology and patience would have given him the upper hand and victory over the spirit of error that led to his downfall. This is a valid example for us to learn from and flee from the sin of pride or any error at all that could take a man from grace to grass.

The only way to have victory over error is to go the way of humility, teachableness and patience. You don’t lose anything by being humble; in fact, you will gain everything as Jesus did (Philippian 2:8).

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

Foundational arrow of error, jump out of my life by fire, in the name of Jesus.
Holy Ghost, arise and purge my life of every foundational darkness, in the name of Jesus.
Any family error that is seeking for my life for destruction, die, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING

Favour that surpasses mistakes and errors, fall upon me, in the name of Jesus.
Whenever I appear, darkness shall flee, in the name of Jesus.
Mistakes and errors of my ancestors pursuing me, turn back and catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
Let God arise and let my life receive Holy Ghost lifting above errors, in the name of Jesus.
