God Determines Your Boundaries
Job 14:5 (NET) “Since man’s days are determined, the number of his months is under your control; you have set his limit and he cannot pass it.” Mr. Bright could no longer sleep because it was only two months to his 45th birthday. He had gone to the village to see the village priest but returned with no solution in view. “ I can’t help you, it is your family’s heritage, no male will live to be more than 45years again in your family because your great grandfather entered into a powerful covenant with the gods of the land,” said the priest. Although Mr. Bright was a church goer, he still consulted with the village priest in hope that help will come from him. “My grandfather and dad were both Christians yet they died just some days before they turned 45, I had better help myself now when it is still possible,” he said to himself. But all hope was now lost since the village priest couldn’t help him. Your case may be like Me Bright’s where certain negative patterns have been proven and accepted as generational and therefore should be lived with or managed. This will be true as long as you belong to Satan but as soon as you shift camp from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light, it is no longer true. For a child of God, it is God who determines your boundaries (limit), it is never Satan nor man. If you are a child of God but still suffer negative patterns, stand against those patterns in prayer remembering that because you belong to Jesus, it is only the speakings of God that are permitted to stand in your life (Lamentations 3:27). Worthy of note is the truth that curses only thrive where there is sin (1 Corinthians 15:56). To break away completely from curses and negative generational patterns, seek by the help of the Holy Spirit to stay away from sin. If there is a sin that seems unsurmountable, look for a respectable man of God or a senior friend who will join you in prayers. Keep confessing the sin and ask for God’s mercy until complete freedom is attained. Go into today knowing that whatever God has not commanded can be nullified. Prayer: because I belong to Jesus, every negative pattern in my life and family is terminated in Jesus’ name.

God Will Help You
Psalms 27:13 (NET) Where would I be if I did not believe I would experience the Lord’s favor in the land of the living? When Kemi graduated from university, her self-confidence was on an all-time low because she believed that no one would want to employ her. She had very poor grades. During the dark days of her life on campus, she contemplated suicide many times because of her academic failures and the harsh words she heard from her family members, but she held onto a knowing in her spirit from the Lord that she would still experience His goodness in the land of the living. When she was a teenager, The Lord had spoken prophetically to her that she would be a great woman in life. Those prophetic words were what she held onto and still believed her life would still count, in spite of how worthless she was made to feel. During her youth service year, she spent a great part of the time praying and seeking the face of the Lord– He was her only hope in this life. Unlike others, she couldn’t trust in the strength of her degree but only in the Lord. From spending time with the Lord she built up her confidence and boldness. She now realized that contrary to many voices she had heard before, she was not a failure. From that time, learned to trust in the Lord and depend on Him for direction. She faced life with that confidence and doors that didn’t open for the most brilliant people opened for her. Six years after she graduated, she was now a celebrated entrepreneur with many graduates as her employees. If you are a child of God, then know that God’s plans for you are plans of good and not of evil, and as you abide in Him, you will see these plans come to fruition if you faint not (Gal 6:9, Jer 29:11). God’s word to someone today is that you will soon see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Things will not always continue the way they have been but you will see good things from the Lord that will make you glad and rejoice. The Lord will prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies, and you will experience an overflow of His blessings in every area of your life. Go into today knowing that God who saved David from the jaws of death and made him king over Israel is the same God you worship. He will bring you into the greater days of your life as you continue to rely on Him in confidence (see Psa 27:13-14). Prayer: Thank God because He is the one who lifts you up in His time. Thank Him because you know that when He blesses, no curse can linger. — Abraham Damilola Arigi Bible in One Year: Psalms 45-47 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Stars and Celebrities
Daniel 12:3 (EasyEnglish) And those who are wise will shine like the bright sky. Those who help many people to obey God will shine like the stars always. Pop Culture (Popular Culture) has greatly elevated the place of fame and fortune in society not minding so much how you come about them. The road to stardom has been paved into massive and broad highways much wider today than in past generations and many aspire greatly to be counted in the number, refusing to be deterred even when sometimes the prize comes at the price of defiled consciences and a loss of self and identity. So great is the allure that people go to ridiculous lengths to become one. It becomes more precarious now when notoriety is now tantamount to popularity and clout-chasing is sometimes rewarded with primetime social media coverage and eventually with the coronation of being an ‘influencer’. George stared wide-eyed with surprise and shock as he viewed the Instagram upload of Tomi. The notification had popped up on his device and out of curiosity he had clicked it. He had immediately called Tomi, who happened to be one of the teenagers he was overseeing in church, and she bounced his call. After the third try he stopped calling and chatted her up instead. GEORGE: Tomi, I just saw your Instagram upload now, and frankly, I was a torn between being shocked and being disappointed. TOMI: But what exactly have I done wrong now sir? GEORGE: Do we have to do this again? The last time I tried to talk to you about a similar issue you blocked me from viewing your Whatsapp status. Tomi, you are a child of God, there are trends and challenges that you should not be a part of at all. You should not be jumping into trends that do not glorify God, talk less of challenges that outrightly promote sensuality and nudity. TOMI: Sir, I don’t see what I did wrong, its not like I was all exposed and naked. I only participated in the Hourglass Challenge to build my followership so I can get more likes and become an influencer. The bum-short and tank top I wore are just for the challenge’s sake, I don’t wear them out. GEORGE: You want to be an influencer…well God wants you to be an ‘Influencer’ too, but just not this type. Can I call you? It will be easier for me to explain certain things to you via call, chatting can be exhausting. TOMI: (after some delay) Yes. God’s kingdom has stars, they are those who turn many to righteousness, their feet are called beautiful (Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:15), they are termed wise (Proverbs 11:30) and their labor brings about celebration in heaven (Luke 15:10) and these stars will shine forever and ever. Join God’s array of stars today, submit yourself to Him and join the work of soul-winning now. These stars take up the “Challenge” of sharing God’s word online and offline. They are always part of the never-ending trend of praying for and witnessing to family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Go into today reminded that you are a light to the world. Shine your light so that the world will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. —Ikechukwu Mpama Yearly Bible Reading: I Samuel 26-31 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Power In The Blood Of Jesus
Revelation 12:11 (KJV)And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Sukanmi was afflicted and he knew the reason why. There was a time in his life that he was sinfully careless and opened the door to the devil. But he had since repented. Because he knew that the door to his affliction was opened when he backslid and took an adventure into the world, Sukanmi didn’t have the courage to resist the devil and receive his freedom. But through the ministry of the word, the Lord opened his eyes one night to the power and effect of the blood of Jesus. He now realized that because of the blood of Jesus, he was redeemed out of the hand of the devil, and was justified before God – just as if he had never sinned. That same week, he permanently broke free from that affliction of the devil. Before Satan can afflict people, he has to first successfully accuse them before the throne of God (see Job 1:9-12— how Satan accused Job before God and got the license to afflict him). Because all have sinned, and the natural tendencies of fallen man are sinful, the devil rarely runs out of potent accusations against people. Based on that, no descendant of Adam can overcome him on his own merit of righteousness. But Jesus came to be the sacrifice that atones for our sins (1 John 2:2): He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, chastised that we may have peace, and flogged that we may be healed (Isaiah 53:5). Because innocent righteous Jesus was made to suffer for our sins, we would not suffer again for our sins if we believe in Him and abide in Him. By the blood of Jesus, Satan’s legal right to afflict you has been removed because Jesus has been afflicted in your stead. Based on our own righteousness, we could never overcome [the dark powers of the kingdom of] this world. But because of Jesus’ blood that is the receipt for the price Jesus paid to make us the righteousness of God, we are overcomers! Go into today remembering that through the blood of Jesus, we overcome Satan and walk in dominion. Hallelujah! Confession: By the blood of Jesus, my sins have been forgiven. By the blood of Jesus, I have been justified and cleansed. By the blood of Jesus, I have been redeemed out of the hand of the devil. Hallelujah! (Repeat this confession). —Abraham Damilola Arigi Bible in One Year: Exodus 9-12 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Mission Importunate
Luke 18:1 (NET) And Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not to lose heart There is this movie franchise that is quite popular and has received great acclaim over the years. The movie basically shows how an agent of a particular security agency along with his team find creative ways to surmount daunting obstacles in their bid to save the world from impending dangers. In contrast, Jesus told a parable in Luke chapter 18 about a widow who through persistence got her request met, she didn’t get creative in her method, she just applied the pressure of persistence until the seemingly immovable judge was moved to act in her favor. The first time Nadia heard Pastor Ken teach on this passage of scripture she was quite confused. Is God being likened to an unjust judge? Why does He need us to pray for so long before He answers? Do I have to weary God out with my importunity before He answers and delivers me? It is possible that these questions have plagued your heart at one time or the other. To provide some clarity, here are some things to note. Whenever you read about or study a parable, ask yourself what was the subject matter and what was the lesson the speaker was trying to pass across? For instance, in this parable, prayer was the subject matter and persistence in prayer was what was being highlighted. So, you see that the parable was never told to draw a comparison between the unjust judge and God but rather to highlight the importunity (persistence) of the woman. Regardless, one might still wonder, if God is not like the unjust judge, then why the need for persistence? Well, you need to first understand that the bible has revealed sufficiently in scripture the willingness of God to answer the prayers of his children (1 John 5:14-15; Matthew 7:7-11), however, there are other factors that come into play when it comes to one receiving answers to prayers. For example, there are spiritual oppositions to be dismantled and this sometimes takes time. (See Daniel 10:1-13; Ephesians 6:12&18). Again, some situations take time for the demands of justice to be met. See Genesis 15:13-16 for example, God was explaining to Abraham that one of the things that will determine the time that his descendants will spend in the land of bondage was the time it would take for the current occupants of the land He will deliver them to, the land of Canaan, to become deserving of being driven out. Yet you see that that is not the only condition, the Israelites were also to cry out to the Lord, which they did, so He can weigh in and deliver them from Egypt into Canaan (Exodus 3:7). There are so many other reasons, but one thing is constant, Jesus admonishes us to not lose heart or give up when we have prayed and circumstances appear to remain unchanged. At such times, just remember its time for Mission Importunate. Go into today determined to be persistent in prayer. Don’t give up, don’t give in, pray until you win…and then pray some more. —Ikechukwu Mpama Yearly Bible Reading: I Corinthians 15-16 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

They That Say Such Things
Hebrews 11:14 (KJV) For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. It was a great prayer meeting filled with energetic praying and prophetic utterances. Mayowa was not surprised though, whenever Eddy led a prayer meeting you could always expect the atmosphere to be charged, even during Bible Study, his contributions were always profound, and his eloquence always displayed. What did surprise Mayowa however was the disjoint between Eddy’s church activities and his daily living. It was difficult for Mayowa to reconcile the capable prayer leader Eddy was in the church and the get-rich-quick scheme champion that he was outside the church. But then, he chanced upon Eddy trying to sign up yet another prospect to his latest scheme, and when a friend of Eddy’s prospect challenged Eddy asking him what business a youth prayer leader of a church had to do with the Make Mega Money scheme. Eddy’s response was that you give unto Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar and that his business had nothing to do with his being a Christian much less a youth leader. Our words are very revealing, they betray our heart convictions and dispositions. In Hebrews 11 verse 13 and 14 we see that men who looked forward to the heavenly city each had similar things to say, namely that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. They took every opportunity, by both words and actions, to declare that they did not belong to this world system and that they belonged to another kingdom and looked forward to the time when that kingdom will take over this earth. You can evaluate your heart by the things that you say in varying circumstances, they are the ‘confessions of faith’ or the ‘professions of fear, doubt, and unbelief. What do you find yourself saying amid great trials? What about when sickness tries to prevail? Or during economic hardship? Or even at the crossroads of decision? If you observe that your confessions do not reflect faith in God or the tenets of the faith, the solution is not to try to consciously change your confession; it is rather to retreat and begin to consciously fill your heart with the word of God, reading, studying and meditating upon it. In time, this will influence your confession and align it with faith in God. Go into today with a consciousness that we belong to the civilization and kingdom of God and hence we must learn to be comfortable being different from the world. Let your heart know this and your lips utter it. —Ikechukwu Mpama Yearly Bible Reading: Jeremiah 12-16 Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Prayer and Power
James 5:16b (NLT)…The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. After Dare accepted the Lord Jesus, he observed that the Holy Spirit moved him to pray and each time he prayed he was empowered in the inner man. He knew this because the power of his flesh to control him was diminished. But he also observed that if he continually neglected the nudging of the Holy Spirit to pray, his flesh would become powerful again and his spirit relatively weak. He now decided that he was going to be committed to prayer like never before because he observed that the more committed he was to prayer and the Word, he became spiritually stable and strong. But he realized that his determination to be committed to prayer was not strong enough to make him pray the way he knew he needed to pray. When he discussed this with his pastor, his pastor instructed him to have a schedule and time for daily prayer in the spirit. Dare observed that because he now had a plan and not just a desire, he was now more effective. We are instructed time and time again by the Lord and through His apostles to be prayerful (see Luke 18:1, Col 4:2, 1 Thes 5:17, Rom 12:22, Eph 6:18). This is because it is through prayer that we access the power of God we need for life and godliness. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person makes much power available (James 5:16). ‘Prayerless’ Christians are powerless Christians. Jesus told His disciples to pray so that they would not fall into temptation (Mark 14:38). The power to overcome temptation is made available when we pray. Go into today remembering that the way to stand is by ‘praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit’ (Ephesians 6:18). Remember, if you fail to plan, you have planned to fail. Plan your day with prayer in mind. Have a plan to spend quality time praying each day, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you execute this plan. Prayer: Lord, give me the grace and power to pray as I should. Help me walk in Your great power. Amen. -Abraham Dami Arigi Yearly Bible Reading: Jeremiah 12-16 Streamglobe is interdenominational.

They Are New Every Morning
Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV) It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Maya’s boss, Mrs. Anderson, became really angry with her because she made a mistake that was going to cost the company a lot of money. When it was clear that Mrs. Anderson was truly angry, Maya knew that she was going to lose her job (and indeed she was deserving of that penalty). But the pandemic was just ending, and the economy was really slow and there were no jobs. Maya was so distressed that she would lose her job which her family now depended on because her husband had lost his job. She kept calling Mrs. Anderson to plead with her but Mrs. Anderson did not pick her calls so Maya sent her a lengthy text message in which she explained why she made that mistake and promised she was not going to do so again. She also explained the things she would put in place to ensure that such a mistake does not happen again. Mrs. Anderson responded by texting “you cannot continue to work here. If I ran my business like that, you wouldn’t have met it”. But the next morning, when Maya saw Mrs. Anderson in the office, she noticed that Mrs. Anderson was no longer angry with her. She saw indeed that Mrs. Anderson had shown her mercy and was no longer going to sack her. This was because Mrs. Anderson was a Christian, and she did not let the sun go down on her anger but decided to show mercy since Maya was truly repentant. Months passed and nothing was said about the issue. But Maya ensured that she did not make that kind of mistake again. What is it about the morning that makes God’s mercies and compassions new? In Ephesians 4:26, the Holy Spirit instructs us not to let the sun go down on our anger. So even though as believers, we might have reason to be angry and people might truly offend us, we are to show compassion and not wake up in the morning with anger in our hearts. The Lord is not a hypocrite. He does not give us instructions He Himself does not live by. When He commands us to be Holy, it is because He is Holy(1 Peter 1:6). When He commands us to love, it is because He loves. When He commands us not to let the sun go down on our anger, it is because He does the same. We see in today’s Bible verses that His mercies and compassions are new every morning. Go into today remembering that God does not stay angry forever. If you have truly repented of a sin, He will show mercy. Don’t let the devil deceive you that God’s mercy and faithful love toward you has ended. No, they are new every morning. Prayer: thank you Father for making me a recipient of your mercy. Please let many others encounter this mercy through me. In Jesus’ name. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi Yearly Bible Plan: Psalms 42-44 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational. Kindly share this Devotional with your contacts and let’s touch lives together.

Whose Pleasure Exactly?
1 Peter 4:2 (GNB) From now on, then, you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God’s will and not by human desires. The sound of the ringing phone woke Philip from his evening nap. He picks up the phone, it was Jerry, one of his teenagers, on the other line. PHILIP: Hello Jerry, what’s good. JERRY: Oh, sounds like I woke you, apologies. PHILIP: Not to worry, I needed to be up already. How is it going? JERRY: Very fine. Just a quick question sir. I have been reading the bible daily as you asked me to do and I came across something today that bugged me. What exactly is wrong with the plans of the man called the rich fool? I thought God delights in the prosperity of his saints and desires our wellbeing? Why was the Rich Fool’s statement found to be so offensive by God? PHILIP: Jerry, we would need to have a chat when we see to do proper justice to your question. However, I would prepare your heart for then. You see there is a fundamental flaw in the way some persons view the faith. Perhaps because of the passionate appeals of evangelists and soul winners, people tend to perceive the appeal for repentance unto salvation like the wooing of a football club manager or owner to a star player to join their team. This is all shades of wrong. We must not mistake the fact that there is great rejoicing in heaven for a sinner that repents to mean that the repented sinner is the best thing that happened to God, to the contrary, God is the greatest thing to have happened to the sinner. Life is about pleasing someone, but who exactly? It is about pleasing God and not one’s own desires. When this is settled in the believer’s heart, other things will fall into place properly. Many believers just see God from a utilitarian point of view, that is, they see God from the point of view of what God can do or accomplish for them. In that sense, God is just a means to an end. This mindset is unscriptural. God is not about pleasing us, but rather, we exist to please Him. Once we fail to factor this into our decisions and plans, we will be walking wrongly. Go into today knowing that God is at work in us both to will and to do His good pleasure therefore work out your salvation with fear and trembling (see Philippians 2:12-13). Put God first, always. —Ikechukwu Mpama Yearly Bible Plan: Psalms 42-44 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Confidently Approach
Hebrews 4:16 (NET) Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help Tesa always seemed to be fighting a losing battle with sin. She so longed for victory over the power and guilt of sin but that appeared to be an elusive dream for her. One day, she decided that she was tired of the endless struggle of overcoming sin, seeing that it was obvious she would never win regardless of how much she tried. She decided to give up trying and just resign to a life of defeat. That very night while praying, Victoria felt a strong urge to pray for Tesa and she spent the next 30 minutes doing so, and God impressed a scripture in her heart to share with Tesa. She went the next morning to share with Tesa to strengthen her. Victoria shared from Hebrews 4 verse 14-16, explaining that God never meant for verse 16 to be read alone as it provides no basis for the believer to approach the throne of grace confidently to obtain grace and find mercy. But taken from verse 14, it establishes that we are to approach God’s throne of grace to receive mercy and grace because of the High Priesthood of Jesus. “Why is this important?” Tesa asked. This is particularly important for two reasons. Firstly, it supplies the believer with understanding and understanding is critical for fruitfulness in God’s kingdom (pointing Tesa to Matthew 13 vs 23). It helps the believer to understand that it is because of the high priestly duties of Jesus that he can approach confidently. Those duties include making intercessions for the saints. She opened to Hebrews 7:24-25 to buttress this point, it reads: “But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. Therefore he is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.” (BBE). “You remember Revelations 12:11a”? (And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony), Victoria asked, it is the basis of this same shed blood of Jesus that the intercessory work of Christ is based, namely that He had paid the ultimate price for sin, and everyone who believes in him can reap its benefit. Consequently, this understanding produces faith. Faith in the sanctifying work of Jesus for the believer to access God’s mercy and grace. This faith is what births the boldness mentioned in verse 16 of Hebrews chapter 4, she explained. Even though we are imperfect in ourselves, we have a perfect high priest and advocate whom when we approach him in humility and brokenness, cleanses us of all unrighteousness and this gives us the boldness to receive mercy and grace for our time of need. Go into today determined to appropriate the ministry of our High Priest and Lord, Jesus Christ, and therefore approach confidently the throne of grace to receive mercy. —Ikechukwu Mpama Yearly Bible Plan: I Samuel 21-25 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.
