The Topic of Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional for 5th September 2024 Is “Renewed Fellowship”
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 17; Isaiah 18; Matthew 27; Matthew 28
FIRE SCRIPTURE: John 21:1-19
1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.”
6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.
9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”–knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.”
19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”
MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they
shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: When a Christian begins to shun fellowship with other Christians, not reading the Bible or praying, it gives the devil cause to rejoice.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I decree death upon lukewarmness in your spiritual life today, in the name of Jesus.

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 5TH SEPTEMBER 2024
Today’s message is calling every Christian back to the place of fellowship and spiritual renewal. It is believed that as we look inwards personally, each of us shall be able to address the issue of getting renewed through fellowshipping with other Christians as the Bible counsels us in Heb.10:25.
Are you born again, but you suddenly discovered that you are drifting back for a reason, or your love for Christ is waxing cold? Perhaps, you don’t even see it. You can’t feel the zeal with which you started. I beseech you not to despair, but make instant efforts to get to the place of renewal, re-enacting your life and commitment to Jesus Christ. He knows our feeble frame. He is aware of that weakness, lukewarmness, failure and seeming disloyalty looming around you as a Christian. He knows where and how to come in and help you get back to your feet and to the place of communion and fellowship as from the beginning. Be encouraged therefore; be lifted in your spirit; Jesus never forsakes His own.
Going through today’s Fire Scripture, we see the one time fire brand disciples of Jesus drifting back into their former business. Remember, Jesus made them “fishers of men” out of ordinary fishermen. Unfortunately, the weakness of the human mind is taking them back to who they were before they encountered Christ. What a tragedy! No wonder, they sweated and struggled without results! Thank God for Jesus who loved them. He didn’t want them to continue in error with unending profitless struggles. He didn’t want them to miss out on the promise of life, after being so close to Him, the Giver of life. He stepped into their situation, helped them to see once again that without Him, we can do nothing (John 15: 4-5). He told them to relaunch their nets, and at His word they experienced a great catch!
Beyond that instant success, Jesus had fellowship with them again. He dined with them. What a demonstration of love! Jesus is always willing to restore you and get back to the place of fellowship with you, so that you receive fresh grace and renewed strength. You are encouraged and fully equipped to bounce back. I pray that you shall not miss this divine opportunity, in Jesus’ name.
