BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 32:28-52, Psalm 78:56-64, Luke 12:35-59, Proverbs 12:24

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 5:1-10

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

MEMORY VERSE: Job 13:16

He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
Let every leaven of hypocrisy in your life be roasted by fire, in the name of Jesus.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Tuesday 8th April 2025.

Hypocrisy is an evil leaven that contaminates the soul and makes the carrier an abomination to God. The English word “Hypocrisy” is from the Greek hypokrisis, which means acting on a stage. To play a role that is not real or natural by the actor. It also means to pretend to be what one is not. Therefore, a hypocrite is a pretender claiming to be what he is not. He is an actor assuming an unnatural role. Hypocrisy is a grievous sin against the Holy Spirit of God. The story of Ananias and Sapphira is a classic example of the insidious art of hypocrisy, the portrait of a hypocrite, the grave consequences of hypocrisy, and the demonstration of the grave displeasure of God towards any hypocritical act.

According to the account of today’s fire scripture, the Christian couple, Ananias and Sapphira, on their own volition, decided to sell their family landed property in order to bring the proceeds thereof to support the work of God in the first-century church. Unfortunately, the old man hijacked their good intention. They pretended and lied that they declared the actual amount they sold their property. It would not have been counted against them if they had explained the situation as it really happened by saying, “Well we sold it for so much, but because of pressing family needs, we deducted a certain amount and have brought the remaining balance for the church.” They rendered less and claimed that they rendered all. This falsehood was nothing but hypocrisy, which was counted against them as lying to the Holy Spirit. Their tainted good intention brought sudden destruction upon them because it was spiced with the leaven of hypocrisy and served with the dish of pretense.

Beloved, hope you are not guilty of a hypocritical lifestyle like brother Ananias and sister Sapphira. Are you reducing what you should have rendered to God in full measure and now claiming that you are giving your utmost?

MFM Daily Prayer Points 8th April 2025

MORNING

Blood of Jesus, purge my life of every leaven of hypocrisy, in the name of Jesus.
My life will not cooperate with the enemy for destruction, in the name of Jesus.
Every stronghold of the old-man in my life, scatter by fire, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

Manipulation from the pit of hell targeted at my spirit man, die in the name of Jesus.
Every trap of darkness set against my soul, catch fire and burn to ashes, in the name of Jesus.
My inner man, receive fresh fire, in the name of Jesus.
Glory of the Living God, overshadow my life, in the name of Jesus.
