TODAY’S MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR MONDAY 24TH MAY 2021 WRITTEN BY PASTOR D. K. OLUKOYA
TOPIC: NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY
Fire Scripture: Ps. 119:33-37
MFM 24TH MONDAY MAY 2021 OUTLINE Beloved, we are in the world of technology today. No doubt technology has advantages and disadvantages both in the society and homes, not excluding Christian homes. We have allmanners of technological devicesthatsurround us,ranging fromlaptops,tablets, phones etc.
Each new technological device brings with it the good and bad influence, depending on howwell you put themto use. We should endeavourto putGod first in all things. After all, God is the giver of knowledge. Why then should we place these technologicaldevices aboveourCreator andtheGodof the universe.
All devices, social media and so on are to help make life easy and make communication and transactions faster. However, they do replace some crucial natural interactions between persons at different levels in the society. The Christian home, marriage and family fabric have been adversely affected. MFM Daily Devotional 24 May 2021 Monday
Communication, which is a central factor in marriages is fast becoming a force. Couples relate more with sms, Whatspp messages and other means than creating quality time to relate physically with one another. It has become so serious among couples as well as parents and children.
Many Christian couples are physically together but emotionally separated. They watch different programmes. Each has his or her own area of interest. As a result, there is little or no room for harmony. Everyone is on his or her tablet or laptop or TV set.
Children are busy pressing phones, surfing the Internet; in the process many fall into different satanic traps unknown to them. Many Christian children have fallen into untold errors: pornography, joining bad gangs, robbery, terrorism, cultism and occult practice and violence through the Internet and social media. Refuse the TV from becoming a devil’s box in your home!
These and more are the consequences of the misuse of technological devices in our homes, instead of using them to educate ourselves and children and propagating the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Husband and wife, how strong is the bond of love between you, in spite of technology? Is it not better to develop that unity and oneness, and develop mutual interest in each other’s area of interest? By doing this, the devil will not succeed in separating you under the disguise of technology.
When you make use of all these devices and appliances for the betterment of your family and your home, your marriage would not fall apart, in Jesus’ name.
Memory Verse
Ps. 101:3 – “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes, I hate the work of them that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me”.
Motivational Quote
One of the first things that open door for sin is what you see
Prophetic Word
The Holy Spirit shall keep your life above every sinful thought and action, in the name of Jesus.
HYMN – No, not despairingly
1. No, not despairingly
Come I to Thee; No, not distrustingly
Bend I the knee: Sin hath gone over me,
Yet is this still my plea:
Yet is this still my plea:
Jesus hath died.
2. Ah! Mine iniquity
Crimson has been Infinite, infinite,
Sin upon sin; Sin of not loving Thee,
Sin of not trusting Thee,
Sin of not trusting Thee,
Infinite sin.
3. Lord, I confess to Thee
Sadly my sin; All I am tell
I Thee, All I have been:
Purge Thou my sin away,
Wash Thou my soul this day;
Wash Thou my soul this day;
Lord, make me clean.
