MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 16 DECEMBER 2021 THURSDAY
TOPIC: GOODNESS: FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Fire Scripture: Matt. 5:43-48
MFM Daily Devotional for Thursday | Outline
The Greek meaning of the word “goodness” is an uprightness of the heart and life. Goodness is an act of lowliness or righteousness. As a Christian, you must be good, kind, generous and Christlike in lifestyle and conduct. When you act out of true goodness of the heart, you are acting in obedience to the commandments of God and seeking the benefit of others. Your actions must be an act of selflessness and you should place the needs of others before your own. Goodness is the state of being kind or being good.
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, is a perfect example of goodness. He gave His life for your sins on the cross so that you will have eternal life. His ministry and sacrifice are examples of God’s goodness toward mankind. He is called the Good Shepherd because He laid down His life for His sheep. He used His power and anointing to do good to mankind (Acts 10:38). You too must use whatever God has given you to show goodness to people around you.
MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR D.K OLUKOYA
Be good towards God and your neigbours. In Matt. 5:44, Jesus said that you must not repay evil for evil. By loving and praying for your enemies, you can overcome evil with good. If you love those who hate you and treat them well, it shows that Jesus is Lord of your life and this can even make them to serve your God. Goodness is not about doing elaborate things to gain recognition. The act of being good to those around you means a lot to them. The Bible says that your light must shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven (Matt. 5:16).
It is through the act of being good that you reflect the character of Jesus Christ who went about doing good. Beloved, goodness is an attribute of God. That is why we say that God is good all the time. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, goodness should be your hallmark and defining characteristic. Let it flow from your genuine love and be a proof of your Christlikeness.
Memory Verse:
Eph. 5:9 – “For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.”
Motivational Quote:
Goodness is love in action.
Prophetic Word:
I decree that goodness and mercy shall surely follow you all the days of your life, in the name of Jesus.
MFM Daily Devotional | HYMN
- A pilgrim was I, and a wand’ ring
1. A pilgrim was I, and a wand’ ring,
In the cold night of sin I did roam,
When Jesus the kind Shepherd found me,
And now I am on my way home.
Chorus
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life;
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days, all the days of my life.
2. He res toreth my soul when I’m weary,
He giveth me strength day by day;
He leads me beside the still waters,
He guards me each step of the way.
3. When I walk thru the dark lone ome valley,
My Saviour will walk with me there;
And safely His great hand will lead me
To the mansions He’s gone to prepare.
