MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY

In this discourse, two words “truth” and “wavering” stand out. They need to be addressed first in order to drive home the real message in today’s topic. According to dictionary meaning, the word “truth” implies the real facts about a situation. However, a seasoned writer described truth as a “prayerful entity”. He further likens truth to an oil which will always rise to the surface. It is an indestructible fact that will remain constant no matter how long it takes to cover it.

That is why the Bible instructs in Proverb 23:23, “Buy the truth and sell it not.” On the other hand, the word “waver’ symbolises to lose strength, determination or purpose, especially temporarily. In this context, therefore, without wavering is the exact opposite. It is to stand firm and be resolute. The Bible equates a person who wavers to a wave of sea driven with wind and tossed. Such a person cannot receive anything from the Lord because he is double minded and unstable in his mind (James 1:8). As a true believer, you must have absolute faith in God before you can please Him. No wonder the Bible affirms, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him” (Hebrew 6:11 ).

Therefore, stand for truth and fear not because it is only the truth you know and apply that can help you in the hour of need or save you in times of trouble. Are you in trouble in your career or in your business? Begin to examine yourself today. Have you been truthful to your customers, your colleagues, your superiors? Are you the type that wavers or vacillates when you are supposed to declare the truth, due to selfish interest? Today, make up your mind because it is the truth you know and you practise that can set you free.

MFM DEVOTIONAL HYMN FOR 13 OCTOBER 2019: STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS

1. Stand up! stand up for Jesus,

Ye soldiers of the Cross!

Lift high His royal banner;

It must not suffer loss.

From victory unto victory,

His army shall He lead,

Till every foe is vanquished,

And Christ is Lord indeed.

2. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!

The trumpet call obey;

Forth to the mighty conflict,

In this His glorious day;

Ye that are men now serve Him,

Against unnumbered foes;

Let courage rise with danger,

And strength to strength oppose.

3. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!

Stand in His strength alone:

The arm of flesh will fail you,

Ye dare not trust your own;

Put on the gospel armour,

Each piece put on with prayer;

Where duty calls, or danger,

Be never wanting there.

4. Stand up! stand up for Jesus!

The strife will not be long;

This day the noise of battle,

The next the victor’s song:

To Him that over cometh,

A crown of life shall be;

He with the King of glory

Shall reign eternally.

– George Duffield Jnr.
