Running to The Rock

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1871 Psalms 61:2 (NKJV) From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. It was another New Year’s watch night service, and Ugo had made New Year resolutions containing a list of things he was determined not to do again. But he was now tired of making these resolutions every New Year. There was weariness and emptiness in his soul that he was trying to fill. He knew in his heart that he would still go back to his old habits of sin. They seemed to temporarily give him pleasure and fill the hole of emptiness in his soul (only to leave a deeper bigger emptiness that would require him plunging deeper into sin to satisfy). He was now tired of this cycle. His heart was now overwhelmed, he wanted out. Who or what is the rock that David was referring to in today’s Bible verse? Because the rock is the only solution for the overwhelmed heart. In 1 Corinthians 10:14, we see that the spiritual rock the saints of old drank from was Christ. They drank from The Rock by their willful submission to the authority of God over them. This principle has not changed in the new covenant. A man who is still trying to please God without the help [support and foundation] of The Rock will be overwhelmed. He needs to come to Christ (The rock) and drink of the water of the spirit until he overflows(see John 7:37-39). A believer who is now getting overwhelmed in his heart needs to run back to the rock and drink again by getting filled with the Holy Spirit again. Go into today remembering that Christ is the solution for the overwhelmed heart. Ask the Lord to teach you to stay filled with the spirit and never again be overwhelmed by the pressures of life. Ask the Lord to help you be a soul winner leading people to the Lord and helping them abide in Him.

We Are Christ’s Body

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1870 1 Corinthians 12:27 (NET) Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it. Because of the way she grew up, Sandra had a terrible inferiority complex. Her mother made her believe she was not as talented and valuable as her other sisters because she was not as beautiful and outgoing. After Sandra believed in the Lord Jesus, she still struggled with inferiority complex and insecurity until she heard a Teaching based on today’s Bible verse. She was made to understand that her salvation was no coincidence and that even her birth into this world was because God had predestined her unto salvation before the foundation of the world (see Eph 1:4, Rev 17:8, 13:8), and that she was now a member of the body of Christ. No member of the body of Christ should ever feel inferior in this world because “as He is so also are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to the Lord Jesus (Matt 28:18). As a member of His body, you share in this authority. As a member of the body of Christ, no sickness, demon or situation can kill you before your time. You are more than a conqueror because you are a member of the body of Christ (Rom 8:37). Disciples of Christ that believe this truth are the ones who walk in it. They expect life to respond to them the way it would respond to Christ because they are members of Christ’s body. When believers come together in unity, we can invoke the full power of Christ’s body because we (together) are Christ’s body (see Matt 16:19, Matt 18:18, John 20:23). Go into today confessing and constantly reminding yourself that you are a member of the body of Christ. Expect to see life respond to you differently because of this reality that is being activated in your life through faith. Prayer: Lord, help me to see me, the way you see me.

Gifts and Fruitfulness: Faith

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1869 Dan 2:16 (BET) So Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. Lanre was in a quandary, what should he do? It was in church after the Wednesday midweek service as they were saying the grace, he heard clearly in the spirit “Go and meet Bosun, I have a word for him”. But Lanre was having a battle with himself, how will I, a 19-year-old boy go meet the Choir leader, what will I tell him? What if I meet him and no (further) words come and I’ll be looking like a fool. How am I even sure that this is not my mind playing tricks on me? What should Lanre do? Better still, what would you do? In our text today, the king had already ordered the killing of all the wise men and astrologers of Babylon because they couldn’t tell him his dream and its interpretation. The astrologers and wise men of Babylon had cried out that such a task was only possible for gods whose dwelling was not with men, they didn’t know any better. But Daniel went to the king asking for some time so he could come up with the dream and its interpretation. Note that when Daniel went in to the king he had neither the dream nor its interpretation, but he had his faith. He had faith in the God of heaven, he had faith that he could receive from the Lord. To be fruitful with your gifts, you must have faith that the gift of God can and will flow through you. Take a cue from Peter and John in Acts 3:6,12,16. Go into today remembering that the power is not yours but Jesus’ but he has given you the authority to use His power; have faith that this power will flow through you and by so doing give expression to your gifts. Prayer: Lord, please help my unbelief and help me walk in my gifts. —Ikechukwu Mpama Streamglobe is nondenominational. Kindly share this Devotional with your contacts and let’s touch lives together.

Gifts and Fruitfulness: Prayer

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1868 Dan 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Dan 2:17-19 Then Daniel went to his house and made known the thing to … his companions. That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret that Daniel and his fellows should not perish. Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision… Have you been baptized with the Holy Spirit? Ever prayed for a gift of the Spirit? Or ever had a word of prophecy about you proclaiming that you have a gift of the Spirit and yet you have never seen yourself walk in it? 1 Cor 12:7 tells us that the manifestation of the Spirit is given to profit all. This aim becomes defeated when a gift is not put to use. In the text today we see that Daniel was endowed with a gift which we can identify as the discernment of spirits (1 Cor 12:10), however, when a time came for him to manifest his gift and deliver his friends and the wise men of Babylon, he gave himself to prayer. Daniel didn’t pray only when he needed to manifest his gift, he made prayer a culture (Daniel 6:10) and was therefore fruitful in the exercise of his gift and was relevant to God’s agenda for his generation. As a dear minister of God once said, ‘prayer services power’. You see, when we pray we make the power of God in us available for use; when we pray, we give expression to the gift of God in us. With prayer we fan to flame the gift of God in us. Go into today with a determination to give yourself to prayer. —Ikechukwu Mpama Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Only Possible By God’s Power

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1867 Mark 10:27 (NKJV)But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”Read Mark 10:24-26 One reason Froid found it difficult to accept the gospel was because he did not think it was possible for him to be saved. Being extremely intelligent, he had done his calculations and seen that salvation for him was practically impossible. (But he was wrong because he did not factor in the power of God. He only factored in human willpower). He knew that truly believing in the Lord Jesus meant he would forsake his life and livelihood– a life he had spent very many years building. His biggest accomplishments in life were things done in direct rebellion to the kingdom of God, and he knew he would have to forsake all that if he wanted the salvation of Christ. When Jesus said that those who trust in their riches cannot inherit the kingdom of God (Mark 10:24), it was such a revolutionary statement that He had to encourage His disciples by making the statement in today’s Bible verse–Salvation is only possible with God’s help (Grace). Before anybody can enter the kingdom of God, he must put his trust completely in the Lord Jesus (even this is done through the help of God). Have you seen the way little children completely trust their parents and have no other option but their parents? That’s how we must trust in God in order to partake in His kingdom and power (see Mark 10:15). One sign that a person has truly received God’s kingdom is that they would walk in the power of Christ (Mark 16:17-18). The most remarkable and powerful thing this power does is to free us from the power of sin. This power also performs miracles and solves problems, etc. Go into today remembering that because of faith in Christ and Christ alone, you will inherit God’s Kingdom for all eternity.

Members of One Body

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1866 1 Corinthians 12:15-16 (NKJV) If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? On social media, Ugochukwu was very fond of criticizing church leaders. Even though he was a believer, because he was not called into the ministry of teaching or preaching (all five-fold ministry offices involve teaching and/or preaching), he did not properly reckon himself as a part of the body but felt it was OK for him to stand apart from the church and criticize it publicly. Through his actions, he was saying ‘I am not of the body’. One of the loudest ways a believer can say ‘I am not of the body’ is by joining unbelievers and enemies of Christ to publicly malign and criticize the church and its ministers. This post is in no way giving leeway to ministers who err, but is a reminder to believers that many [trumped up] attacks on erring ministers have an underlining agenda to destroy the credibility of the body of Christ as a whole. It is foolishness to be part of this as a member of the body. Not being a preacher, Ugochukwu didn’t feel like a part of the body of Christ the way he should, but this didn’t change the fact that through faith in Christ, he was indeed a part of the body. It took him time to realize that his habit of publicly criticizing ministers of the body of Christ was a major limiting factor in his walk with the Lord. He could not walk in divine health and healing because of this. Go into today remembering that through faith in Christ Jesus, you are a member of the body of Christ. Do not be tempted to feel you are less a member than those who are at the forefront of ministry. Some of the unseen parts of the body are the most important. Prayer: Ask the Lord the help you rightly discern His body and draw from all the benefits that His body provides. —Pst. Abraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Living Sensibly

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1865 Luke 15:17-18 (NIV) “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. The story here is about a son who took his inheritance to a far country and squandered it. Then the Bible recorded that he ‘came back to his senses’ and said “I will go back to my father”. A question I’d like you to consider is ‘when did he lose his senses?’ It wasn’t when he squandered his inheritance; it wasn’t when he came to a far country; it was the very moment he thought he could live his life outside the guidance and supervision of his father, that was the moment he got it all mixed up. We don’t judge right and wrong by outcome; we judge right and wrong by the revealed word of God. So even if this son had gone into a far country and invested his inheritance in a profitable business and grew wealthy, it still would not justify his leaving his father. The specie of humans called the Christian, (or the believer, or the New Creation), only exist in Christ [2nd Cor 5:17] (also seen in the epistles as ‘in Him’ [Eph 1:4] or ‘in Whom’ [Col 1:14]). Outside His saving grace we are damned; outside His Lordship we are lost. Regardless of the physical outcome, life lived outside the revealed word and will of God is a life lived senselessly. Some decisions taken outside God’s will might look rational and sensible to the world, but that is understandable, “The unbeliever does not receive the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him…” [1 Cor 2:14]. Bible says in Luke 15:17, 18 ‘when he came to himself, he said … I will arise and go to my Father’ for when we desert our Father’s wisdom, we lose ourselves. Go into today resolved to make bible sense by constantly, continuously and consistently walking in the will of God. —Ikechukwu Mpama Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Innovations and Discoveries

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1864   Job 32:8 (KJV) But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Growing up in Nigeria, I was told that the reason the Americans had so many innovations and discoveries was because they had used their witchcraft to do well. This made me believe that there is a level of greatness that can never be achieved except by the assistance of the devil and I have seen this mindset play out with other African brothers who often consult Witchdoctors for power, popularity, and acceptance.  Most of them are cut short in the prime of their lives. A story was told of a young Nigerian musician who became so popular and rich in his early twenties because he had consulted some magical powers for fame and wealth but died before he was thirty. In his case, the inspiration to sing came from God, the discipline of practice and rehearsals were his personal role in his success but because of wrong believes, he allowed the devil corrupt the good that was in him and he eventually killed him. Read John 10:10 All good innovations and discoveries are from God. The ability to create is God’s and never the Devil’s. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord, the devil has no good in him and nothing good can come out of him. If it is good without an attached evil to it; if it is perfect, then it is God’s. Read and meditate on Joel 2:28 considering the words ‘dream’ and ‘vision’ and ask God for them. Ask God to inspire your spirit unto understanding. The world is waiting for the revelation of the innovations and discoveries locked up in you. —Dr. Emmanuel James Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Healing Is the Children’s Bread

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1863 Matthew 15:26 (KJV) But he answered and said, it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. Joel accepted the Lord Jesus when he was fifteen years old and got Baptized in the Holy Ghost when eighteen. He, however, suffered a skin infection until he was thirty. While preparing for his thirtieth birthday, he asked God for a birthday gift. That night, he saw a man in his dream who told him that “healing is the children’s bread”. When he woke up, although he couldn’t remember the other things that happened in the dream, “healing is the children’s bread” kept ringing in his head, so he got out of bed and searched for that phrase in the Bible. Joel continued to confess those words and decided no longer to be bothered by the skin infection anymore. A few days later he discovered that the infection was gone. “It is not meet to take the children’s bread and to cast it to dogs”, says Jesus. Yet, there are many children of God today who are presently suffering from sicknesses and infirmities. Are you a child of God but sick in your body? Ask God (your father) for the bread of healing. He already gave His word when he said, “ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you”. Take Him by His word. If you are sick in your body, pray this prayer: I am a child of God and healing is mine in Christ Jesus, I, therefore, command you sickness (mention the name) to leave me now in Jesus name, Amen.
