TOPIC: Not Everyone That Calls Me Lord (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional for 22 August 2024 Thursday)
MEMORY VERSE
Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2 Timothy 2:19
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ecclesiastes 9; Ecclesiastes 10; Revelation 21; Revelation 22
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 7:13-23
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: God cannot be deceived He knows His own, even the heart of all
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: You shall never stray away from God’s side in the name of Jesus.

MFM Devotional for Today 22 August 2024 MESSAGE
Today’s devotional is the word of Jesus Himself to the multitude that always surrounded Him to be taught. He started by talking about the wide and narrow roads, then the good and the bad fruits. The beautiful use of contrasts is to help us understand the two sides of the coin among the people who claim to be believers in Christ.
Hence, He concluded by making us know that not all who call Him Lord shall be found worthy to enter into His kingdom. What a tragedy! What puts a man into this category of unworthiness before Christ?
How can men labour for the Lord and yet become cast away? Does it mean some people may claim to be Christians now, but in the final analysis, they shall be cast out before the Lord? The response to these questions and more like it is Yes! This is because God sees and knows the heads of all men.

He knows that many call upon Him with their mouths but their hearts are far from Him. They serve God for the sake of their bellies, for fame and personal gains. They are false in all they do because they don’t do the will of God but theirs.
They are wolves in sheep’s clothing; ministers of satan who pretend to be ministers of the Light. Jesus told us that by their fruits we shall know them, especially those who can discern right from wrong.
They are bad trees that will produce bad fruits. They are liars and children of satan, the father of lies. The end of such people is in an eternal lake of fire.
All these are for us to hear and be forewarned. Imagine that Jesus said it, the apostles corroborated it and today it is as evident as ever before, seeing deception in Christianity all around.
Beloved, are you on the side of the multitude who are rushing down the wide road to destruction or on the narrow road where there are few, going to eternity in heaven? The choice is yours.
In case you are not on the right side, you still have an opportunity to make a change and fast! Give your life to Jesus Christ, today.
