The Topic of Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional for 15th September 2024 Is “From Jacob To Isreal”
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 37; Isaiah 38; Luke 3; Luke 4
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 32: 22-32
22 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
23 He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.
24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.
26 And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
27 So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.”
28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.
32 Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip in the muscle that shrank.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that. It is a spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
Receive the grace to pray without ceasing in the name of Jesus

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 15TH SEPTEMBER 2024
Jacob wrestled with the angel until he got the blessing he wanted. Yes, he was rich at the time but something was still lacking. He didn’t just sit expecting a change to come; rather, he got into action and wrestled not with a man but an angel.
He was determined that nothing was going to stop him. The Bible says that when the angel saw that he was not ready to let him go, he touched the hollow of his thigh. What situation or challenge are you faced with that seems to be a threat to you? You have to be violent about it in the place of prayer. From the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent takes it by force (Matthew 11:12). The Bible states that the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Everything and anything can be settled in the place of prayer. It means that you should bring everything in your life under the subjection of God through prayer.
Jacob means supplanter or deceiver. It was a bad identity he had carried around for years, but one night of wrestling brought about the change of his name and destiny. Your spiritual identity may be worse. Maybe people equate you with failure, bad luck and poverty. I am here to let you know that you can wrestle your way into a change of identity.
Beloved, Jacob’s story shows that the devil does not want anyone to fulfill his divine destiny. He ensured that Jacob, in spite of the Abrahamic covenant and the glorious promises of God upon his life, was not fulfilled and was struggling. He put Jacob on the fast lane of failure and destiny abortion until Jacob had an encounter with God’s angel.
Today, you can pray yourself out of frustration, failure, slavery, bondage and anything that the devil has brought into your life. Jacob did this and prayed his way to breakthroughs and destiny fulfillment. However, you must first repent of all known sins and make Jesus your Saviour and Lord. Second, you must be an avid reader and consistent doer of God’s word. Third, you must pray without ceasing. Fourth, you must have faith in God. With these, He will turn your Jacob to Israel.
