BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 27; Job 28; Job 29; Acts 10; Acts 11
FIRE SCRIPTURE: James 4:1-8
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 3RD JUNE 2024
To resist means to withstand the force or effect of a thing or person. In this case, resisting the devil calls for divine intervention and ability. As Christians, we don’t have the human strength, wisdom or power to do so except we are divinely empowered. James advised that a Christian should first draw nearer to God and thereafter, resist the devil. How then do you draw near to God? What are the things you can do to help you resist this evil one at all times?
Drawing nearer to God involves being a friend of God. To be a friend of God, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. It is this new birth that brings you to that position of intimacy with God through Christ Jesus. As you grow and get mature in your Christian life, engage in daily consistent reading and studying of God’s word, communing with God daily in prayer and praying all kinds of prayers. You will be renewed in your mind and your inner man will be transformed. Also, your spiritual growth and maturity will become evident in word and in deed. It is important that you become an ardent worshipper of the Most High. God dwells in the praises of His beloved.
In addition, you should flee from every appearance of sin. Walk in love and truth, following the footsteps of Jesus. Embrace humility, which is a mark of Christlikeness. As you become more like Jesus, manifesting the fruit of the Spirit (Gal.5:22-23) in every area of your life and relationships, you will get to the point where you can boldly declare that “the prince of this world comes but finds nothing in me”(John 14:30). This kind of declaration can only be done when you have forsaken the world and all that is in it. You are in the world but not a citizen of the world. As a Christian, your citizenship is in heaven not on earth. Hence, do not be a friend to the world! Doing this opens you to a great risk with the thief, who has come to steal, kill, and destroy. No one romances the devil and go scot-free. Resist him at all cost! When you do your part, God will do His, to deliver to the uttermost.
