MFM DEVOTIONAL TODAY 18TH MARCH 2024 MESSAGE
We are going further today on the topic “Deliverance from the Waster”. In our Fire Scripture for today, once again, God’s people turned to the religious practices learned from the Canaanites. As a result, for seven years God allowed the Midianites, assisted by the Amalekites and tribes from the east, to invade and oppress Israel (Judges 6:3). As a result of this, they were forced to hide in caves and covens with their crops and work animals. In verse 4, the Bible says that the Midianites encamped against the Israelites and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza. As a result of this, Israel was greatly impoverished. They suffered because the wasters came and wasted all that they had worked for.
Dearly beloved, Israel brought the attacks of the wasters on themselves. There is no hardship or problem that does not have an expiry date, especially once the right thing is done. The Israelites cried to God in repentance and soberness. The Bible says they turned to God for help after all else had failed. They were desperate. Sadly, beloved, it takes difficulties to get mankind to depend on God. The main problem of Israel was lack of faith in God. Satisfying self became their focus. They looked to God only in times of crisis, when nothing or no one else could help them.
As followers of Christ, we have an equal responsibility to closely examine the basis of our love for God. Is it genuine? Do we truly appreciate God for who He is and what He has done for us? If we relegate God to the background, the enemy will have an opportunity to attack us. The first way to be delivered from the waster is to realise our fault and come back to God. That was what the Israelites did and God raised a helper in Gideon for their deliverance. Therefore, beloved, for you to win the war against the waster, you must confess and forsake all known sins and turn to righteousness. Then, God will arise for you and all you enemies, including the wasters, will be scattered.
