HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1768 Listen to the audio for further explanations on today’s topic 1 Corinthians 8:12 (NET) If you sin against your brothers or sisters in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Liza observed that she was going through a season of spiritual dryness. She couldn’t understand why this was happening because as far as she knew, she did everything right. She kept to her Bible study and prayer schedule, was faithful in her donations to the church, etc. But she observed that her prayer time was becoming dry and unexciting. It was as if the Holy Spirit didn’t show up any more to empower her to pray. After struggling like this for days, she became particularly concerned. ‘Lord, what is wrong, why am I not experiencing your fellowship like before?’ As soon as she prayed this prayer, she felt the presence of the Lord again. She immediately knew that something was wrong. Moments later, she received a text message from one of her Christian sisters. This message detailed how hurt and offended she was by the way Liza treated her. Liza immediately understood that the problem was that she had sinned against the Lord in the way she treated this sister. She immediately repented. Jesus is really concerned about the way we treat each other as Christians. Every Christian you relate with is not just your sister or brother but is also a child of God whose heavenly father jealously cares for. It is particularly bad when more mature believers do things that become a stumbling block for weaker believers. Many believers have blocked the heavens above them because of the way they have treated their Christian brethren. Go into today remembering that God watches the way we treat each other as a measure for our faithlessness and love. If you truly love God, it would show in the way you treat His people.

Dealing with so-called gods 2
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1767 Listen to the audio for further explanations on today’s topic Luke 10:19 (KJV)Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Amaka grew up in a community where everyone was afraid of the gods because certain things had happened in the past to invoke such fear. After Amaka accepted the Lord Jesus and started becoming discipled in the way of the truth, one truth that took time for her to fully understand was that the gods in her town did not have any power over her; that she was raised with Christ far above them and all principalities and powers(see Ephesians 2:6, 1:21). One evening, as she was going to fellowship, she mistakenly stepped on a Charm dropped on the ground. Normally, if anyone steps on such, they would become fatally ill if they didn’t do certain rituals. But as soon as she stepped on that charm, she knew the power behind it was destroyed. Nothing bad happened to her and she never did any ritual. This sign was the reason her mother became converted. Amaka observed that as she submitted more and more to the authority of Christ [over her], she found it more and more difficult to believe that the gods in the land had any power. As far as she was concerned, all authority belongs to Christ(Matthew 28:18), and anyone exercising any form of spiritual authority does so illegally and she had the authority to cast out every such demon by the legal authority of Christ. This she did. One reason some believers do not walk in authority over demons is because they are still afraid of them, and as long as this is the case, fear will hinder the faith required to exercise authority over demons. Go into today remembering that Christ has given you the authority to trample over all the power of the enemy. Prayer: Ask the Lord to teach you to walk in this authority. —Pastor SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Psalms 108-110 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/2RpDqK0YhsF1ppft29zfAL Not born again?

THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LAW
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1765 Ephesians 2:15 (NET) …when he nullified in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man out of two, thus making peace Christians are not under the 613 laws of Moses, nor are we even under the Ten Commandments. We are under THE LAW OF CHRIST. 1 Corinthians 9:21 (KJV) To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the LAW OF CHRIST,) that I might gain them that are without law. Galatians 6:2 (KJV) Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the LAW OF CHRIST. Of the Ten Commandments, Jesus and His apostles reiterated nine and ignored that of the Sabbath (there are reasons for this, but that’s not our topic today). The Lord gave other instructions that were not captured by the Law of Moses. Instructions like ‘turn the other cheek’ or ‘do not repay evil for evil’, etc, were not part of the Ten Commandments, but are part of the commandments of Christ. Anyone who has accepted Christ as His Lord will obey His commandments. For those who love him keep His commandments (see John 14:15, John 14:21, John 15:10). As for the matter of tithing, it is the prerogative of your church assembly. If they pay tithes in your church assembly, then you should pay tithes. Just as with other matters like dress codes, you should obey the rules of your church assembly. And yes, it is rebellion (even before God) when a Christian disobeys the rules of his church assembly if those rules are not in violation of the law of Christ. The last time I checked, tithing didn’t violate any commandment of Christ. As a matter of fact, a time Jesus mentioned it, He didn’t seem to discourage it (see Matthew 23:23). Go into today knowing that grace is not a license to be lawless. Grace brings people under the law of life and delivers from the law of sin and death. —Pastor SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Numbers 17-20 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/2RpDqK0YhsF1ppft29zfAL Get sermons here☞ streamglobe.org/34 Streamglobe is nondenominational.

STABILITY
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1764 Proverbs 24:16 (NET) Although a righteous person may fall seven times, he gets up again, but the wicked will be brought down by calamity. Ejura was tired of the constant rise and fall experience in her walk with the Lord. It started looking to her like her spiritual life was going in circles. There were many things that the Lord had spoken to her concerning life and ministry, but it appeared that her spiritual instability hindering them from coming to fruition. A day came that she became totally tired of it all and decided to discuss her frustration with her discipler. He discerned that she was now getting discouraged and wondering if God still loved her because of all her failures. He took time to help her understand that the fact that she had fallen did not mean God no longer loved her. He helped her see that there were demons delegated to frustrate believers and cause them to fall and not rise again. But that it was a miracle and the work of God’s great love and grace that has ensured that she rose again each time. He went ahead to show her that there was a difference between the works of the flesh and the manipulation of demons, that if against a believer’s will, she appears to be in bondage to any work of the flesh, a demon is usually involved. That while the remedy for the flesh is the cross, the remedy for demons is expulsion by the authority of Christ. He continued by telling her that one reason many believers keep rising and falling is that ‘the zeal of God’s house has not consumed them’. They are not yet consumed by the work of God such that they know they cannot afford to keep falling. Go into today remembering that anyone in Christ is free indeed. If there appears to be any bondage in your life keeping you from spiritual stability, you have the authority to expel demons and walk in constant spiritual liberty. Source: Devotional
KNOWLEDGE AND HUMILITY
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1763 1 Corinthians 8:2 (NET) If someone thinks he knows something, he does not yet know to the degree that he needs to know. I remember many years ago when I felt I knew something because I had read the Bible from cover to cover and had a few revelations here and there. But the truth was that I really didn’t know as needed to know. Today, I look back and see how devoid of knowledge and understanding I was back then. I knew so little, but I felt I knew something. After learning much more and growing, I now know that there is still so much to learn. One of my biggest and most sincere prayers today is ‘Lord, help me know you more’. I know of believers who do not read books and would never be caught reading a daily devotional because they believe they know God more than to read what others have to say about Him. Such a mindset is simply an indication that they do not know God to the degree they need to know Him. For every season of your life, there is a degree of the knowledge of God that is required. This knowledge corresponds to your spiritual strength. Go into today knowing that if you believe you know all that you need to know, it is a sign that you do not know to the degree that you need to know. That is a dangerous place to be. Prayer: ask the Lord to deliver you from all pride and help you continually grow in your knowledge of Him. —Pastor SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: John 13-15 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/2RpDqK0YhsF1ppft29zfAL Not yet saved?

OBEDIENCE ACTIVATES THE BLESSINGS
1 Corinthians 7:19 (NKJV) Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. From when he was a child, Abu was told that his nation was under a curse and because of that, they could never progress above their neighbors. He was also told that men from his nation behaved the way they did because of this curse. But he knew that in Christ, there was no curse but only blessings. For this reason, he was committed to preaching the gospel to the people of his nation because he wanted them to be free from curses and walk in the blessing. We know from scripture that the Jews, being physically the defendants of Abraham, had a heritage of the blessing. But we also know that this blessing was activated only when they walked in obedience to God’s commandments. Today, those who are in Christ are the spiritual descendants of Abraham (Galatians 3:29). Jesus is the seed God referred to when He Promised Abraham that in his Seed [not seeds], all the nations of the earth will be blessed (see Galatians 3:16, Genesis 22:18). This means that even if your nation is under the limitations of curses, if the people of that nation accept Christ (Abraham’s seed) and abide in Him, they would be blessed above every curse. Just like with ancient Israel, the blessing of God is activated in the life of the believer through obedience to the commands of the Lord. For example, God commands children to honor their parents. When blessed people obey this commandment, the blessing of long life; prosperity and seeing good days would be activated (see Ephesians 6:1-3). Go into today remembering that Jesus commanded us to make disciples of nations (Matthew 28:19). This is because, through Christ, God wants to bless nations and set them free from the dominion of curses. Confession: I am blessed above all curses because I am in Christ. Amen. —Pastor SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Joel (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/365I8efHrVmENrDLhZLCws For Free Sermons Click here☞ streamglobe.org/34 Streamglobe is nondenominational.

YOU WILL NOT FAIL
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1761 Psalm 55:22 (KJV) Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. It would be quite an unusual sight to see a little girl walking hand in hand with her father but carrying his traveling or gym bag. It’ll be more unusual if he asks her to give the bag to him and she refuses. At this point, though she still has her hand in her father’s, she is making their walk become very slow. Similarly, many believers today are moving laboriously, having become so overwhelmed by life’s worries. They forget that God Himself said “I will never leave you nor forsake you” or His word surmising that nothing can separate us from His love in Christ Jesus (Heb 13:5, Rom 8:35-39). In view of those words, it means that for you to be moved [while your heart is stayed on God], that situation must possess the power to move God or separate you from Him, which as seen from God’s word, isn’t the case. Your moving should be upwards, motivated by love and not downwards due to worry or from sin’s guilt. No matter the situation, by resiliently holding on to God, you cannot fail. One reason it may feel as though you’re failing is lack of trust that God is by your side and that He cares enough for you to let go of your burdens (Read Ps 27, Ps 118, Ps 124, 1Pet 5:7). Go into today, confident and without fear that God is able to bear your burdens daily. As you continue to trust Him and His Word, your walk will become lighter till you begin to soar in victory (Ps 68:19, Matt 11:28-30). —Chibo E.C.

GIVING ALL DILIGENCE
Listen to the audio for more explanations on today’s topic Hebrews 2:1 (NET) Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.Terso accepted the Lord on campus when he almost died as a result of the initiation rituals imposed on him by a certain cult group he was about to join. Their members abandoned him to die when it was clear that he wasn’t recovering from the wounds inflicted on him during initiation. His life was saved by a Christian group who prayed for him and cared for him until he recovered. He accepted the Lord, grew in the word of God, and walked in the tangible power of God as he grew. Many came to know the Lord because of him. Many years later, he started ignoring some of the fundamentals of the gospel and started getting excited by strange stories and legalistic rules presented as holiness: every believer who didn’t dress a certain way was going to hell, etc. Terso became very judgmental and legalistic, as a result, there was no more assurance of salvation in his heart, and he was evidently waning in spiritual might. After certain things happened in his life that proved to him that he had drifted away from the Truth that made him saved, he looked for his university sermon jottings and started reading them again until he properly understood them. The Lord restored him and he discarded the strange doctrines he had received. It is worthy of all diligence to pay closer attention to the word of God and be sure that we properly understand the basics of our faith as believers. Many have drifted away because they did not give all diligence to understand and continue in certain foundational truths. Go into today remembering that more than anything else in this world, we must give all diligence to the ministry of the word and to prayer. Prayer: Lord, please help me never to slip away from your truth. Help me to always be a witness for you in this world. Amen. —Pst.

THE MARRIAGE IMMUNITY 2
listen to the audio for more explanations on today’s topic 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 (NET) To the rest I say – I, not the Lord – if a brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is happy to live with him, he should not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is happy to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified because of the wife, and the unbelieving wife because of her husband. Otherwise, your children are unclean, but now they are holy. Drake was going through very tough times in his life. His challenges seemed insurmountable and some of them were because of the terrible mistakes he had made in the past. One day he was waiting on the Lord in prayer and fasting, he saw in a dream that he was trying to carry a big generator to power his house because a storm had cut their power line, but he could not carry the generator alone until wife joined him and it became easy for him to carry. From that day, he started praying with his wife as a matter of necessity, and they now spent a lot of time praying in the Spirit together. The first thing he noticed was that as a result of their prayers together, they had fewer misunderstandings. With time, the mountains that seemed insurmountable became stepping stones. Yesterday, we saw that marriage is the only place where a believer who becomes saved after marriage can have fellowship with an unbeliever (who is his unsaved spouse) and remain undefiled. That’s how powerful marriage is. God cares so much about our relationships because they are the theatre which affords us the opportunity to practically grow in our divine nature [of love]. That is the reason why prayers of agreement between saints invoke the highest spiritual authority and power of heaven (see Matthew 18:18-19). It should be easier for a couple to reach this agreement. Go into today knowing that your adversary the devil will fight unity and agreement between you and your spouse because he knows the power your agreement with prayers can produce. Praying in the spirit with your spouse drives away the spirit of discord and produces unity and power. —SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: I Chronicles 20-24(in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/365I8efHrVmENrDLhZLCws Not yet saved?
