BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Lamentations 5, Ezekiel 1, Romans 16, 1 Corinthians 1

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:36-38 (KJV)

36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

MEMORY VERSE: “As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.” – Joshua 14:11 (KJV)

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt. You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear. You are as young as your hope and as old as your despair.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BEAR FRUITS, EVEN IN OLD AGE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:

Old age becomes a glorious thing when it is channelled towards God. There are quite a number of people in the Bible who actually used their old age to do God’s service and to honour the Lord. An example is what we see in the life of prophetess Anna, who at the age of 84 was still active in the service of God. I imagined how this woman of such age could still fast day and night! She was a great intercessor. She was always attending church services. The Bible says she never departed from the temple; and even at her old age, she was still relevant in the things of God.

The way a person uses his or her old age is important to God. As a senior citizen in Christ, how are you using your time? Do you serve God in the church like Anna? How committed are you? Are you a solution to the church of Christ or a headache? Caleb could still fight for the Lord even at his old age. Ahijah the prophet could still hear God at his old age. I want you to know that God did not start with Moses until he was 80 years old and Abraham at 70. From the foregoing, you can see that no matter your age, there are still things you can do for God.

Apostle Paul referred to himself as Paul the aged in Philemon verse 9. During his old age, he was busy writing letters (Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians etc.). Even some were written when he was in prison at his old age. Despite his old age, he was travelling, visiting and encouraging churches when he was released from the prison. As a member of Senior Citizen, you should emulate the life of Apostle Paul and other Bible characters who used their old age for the service of the Lord: (1) You can be involved in hospitality and benevolence ministry. (2) You can be involved in edification and evangelism (3) Spend time in prayer and fasting (Luke 2:37) (4) You can use what God has given you to further the course of the gospel. You can be involved in counseling ministry and giving encouragement to younger ones.

PRAYER POINTS:
