BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 7; Isaiah 8; Matthew 17; Matthew 18
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Daniel 3:14-25
14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up?
15 Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.
18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
20 And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Therefore, because the king’s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”
25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 31ST AUGUST 2024
There are two major concepts to consider in the above topic: “breaking through” and “barricade”. To break through is to make or force a way through a barrier. There are other related words for breaking through which are erupt, force a way, penetrate, come out, etc. Barricade on the Other hand is an improvised barrier erected across a place like a street, a road or a way to prevent or delay any form of movement or opposing Torce.
Every child of God has the picture of their destiny which is always so enviable and glorious but still living a bleak and colourless life, Why? The answer is invisible barriers or satanic barricades are at work.
From our memory verse, we are made to understand the reality of many vicious adversaries and the fact of many barriers on the way to great doors that have been opened for us. This evil experience makes many struggle today; they work hard but nothing seems to be working because there are invisible forces resisting their progress (Zechariah 1:17-21).
Some examples of satanic barricades are: physical blindness like in the case of blind Bartimaeus. This was orchestrated by the enemy as a barricade to him from fulfilling his divine purpose, until he encountered Jesus (Luke 18:35-43).
Evil name is another satanic barricade. The man, Jabez, despite being more honourable than his brethren, the name his mother gave him (child of sorrow) definitely acted as a barrier on his path but through rigorous prayer, he got his total breakthrough. (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
Another satanic barricade is barrenness, either physical or spiritual. Barrenness stood as a barricade to Sarah and Hannah but an encounter with the mercy of God and prayer gave them the joy of being called mothers.
Infirmity is also on the list of satanic barricade. For the man at the pool of Bethseda, this served as a barricade that wasted his years and opportunities until he encountered Jesus Christ. He got his wh0leness and total breakthrough (John 5:5-15).
How can people break free from satanic barricade? You need to know Jesus and accept Him as the Lord of your life. Then, begin to follow Him closely on a daily basis.
