TOPIC: Choose Godly Appearance (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 28 November 2023)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Daniel 12, Hosea 1, 1 Timothy 3, 1 Timothy 4
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 1:18-32 (KJV)
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, birds, fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them.
MEMORY VERSE: “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;” – 1 Timothy 2:9 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
Make moderation your watchword. You are Christ’s Ambassador!
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY
RECEIVE THE GRACE TO BE HOLY WITHIN AND WITHOUT, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
Believers are called to be Christlike. They are supposed to demonstrate Christ’s character, appearance, and attitude to the world. They are ambassadors of heaven. They are in the world but not of the world. They are to point and lead others to heaven with their thoughts, speech, actions, and appearance.

Jesus Christ, our Messiah, was born in a manger. He had a very humble approach to everything. People doubted that He was the Messiah to come because of His simplicity. They belittled Him and looked down on Him. What does this teach us? It teaches us the humility of Christ and how He would love us to always appear.
The world believes in fashion; even some Christians would tell you it is not the appearance but the heart. Anything that begins inside must definitely reflect on the outside. When a person is sick on the inside, it affects the physical appearance of the fellow; the same is true of our spiritual lives. The appearance of Christ was so humble that He had to be betrayed to be identified as the Messiah. He did not look any different from His disciples.
Some people would not come to church because they do not want to wear the same shoes or dress or do not have matching shoes for their clothing. Any dressing that attracts the world negatively is not of God. We are sheep amid wolves; we must be separated and not generalized. God will judge our appearance as well as our hearts. Looking decent and modest to church is very good, but it is better to always look godly wherever you go.
Beloved, the world’s pleasures are passing; eternal life is forever. Do not send yourself to hell. Use your appearance to draw others close to God and to lead them to heaven. Be holy within and without. The Lord be with you!
