BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 18, Psalm 19, Psalm 20, Romans 4, Romans 5.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 12:4-11 (KJV)
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
MEMORY VERSE: For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. – Proverbs 3:12 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Fortunate is the one who receives correction.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: May you not reject the correction of Heaven, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Chastisement means severe criticism or punishment; the aim is to ensure discipline. The word “chastisement” originates from the Latin word “castig ire,” which means “to chasten, punish, or correct.” Divine chastisement refers to the discipline that comes from God Himself. You might be surprised to find that God chastises His children because you have been told that God is love. While it is true that God is love, He is also a God of justice. Because of His love for you, He will correct you when you’re going astray in order to protect you from ultimate destruction.

The most popular example of divine chastisement in the Bible is embodied by the children of Israel but there are also others. The Bible describes David as a man after God’s own heart despite his flaws. When he committed the sin of adultery with Bathsheba, the Lord chastised him through the prophet Nathan (2 Samuel 12:1-14). Also, when he called for a census against the will of the Lord, the Lord reproved him through Gad the seer (1 Chronicles 21). Jonah the prophet is another person who was chastised by the Lord when he refused to go to Nineveh. He tried to be smart by getting on a ship to Tarshish but the Lord chastised him by causing a shipwreck. Consequently, Jonah was thrown into the sea where he was swallowed by a great fish (Jonah 1:1-17). The Lord did not cast these people away but He restored them after they repented.
The purpose of divine chastisement is to restore obedience. Our earthly fathers punish us when we do wrong because they want us to be perfect people. If earthly fathers can chastise us, how much more our Heavenly Father? The right attitude towards chastisement is repentance, not rebellion. Being chastised by God is an evidence of His love and care for you. If God doesn’t care about you, He would not bother Himself to correct you. Whenever your spiritual leader corrects you, be humble enough to take the correction and repent. May the Lord help you to humbly receive His correction, in Jesus’ Name.
