Baptized Into One Body

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1862 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 (NKJV) For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body–whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free–and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. It is the same blood that flows in your hands that flows also in your legs and in every other part of your body. Because of this, you do not consider any part of your body to be outside your body.  It is the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead that lives within you and within the millions of believers on earth today. Those who fail to realize that they are one with other believers would not fully enjoy the benefits of The Body. They would be limited and may not know why. It is the same Holy Spirit that came upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost that now dwells within you if you are born again. It is the same Holy Spirit that baptized your brother in the other church that has baptized you if you are born again. We are all members of the same body. We all have the same Spirit living within us. Go into today thanking the Lord for baptizing you with the same Spirit that came upon Him when he was here on earth. Expect to be able to do great and wonderful things just as the Lord and His apostles did because you have the same spirit that they have. —Pst.

Receiving & Walking in Spiritual Gifts

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ bit.ly/aud1861 1 Corinthians 12:11 (NKJV) But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Aarav had always wanted to walk in the prophetic gifts because he had seen the benefits first hand. He always assumed he had received [the baptism of the] Holy Spirit, but through diligent study of the word, he realized he was not yet baptized in the Holy Spirit because he saw from scripture that everyone who was baptized knew for sure that they had received the Holy Spirit. But he wasn’t sure. Aarav was invited to attend an interdenominational Holy-Ghost all night prayer meeting. He decided to attend this meeting because he was told that people received the baptism of the Holy Spirit there. During the meeting, the minister of God invited all those who wanted to receive the Holy Ghost to come forward to be ministered to. As soon as the minister laid his hand on Aarav’s head, Aarav felt great power come upon him that made his body quiver. The next thing he could remember was that he started speaking in tongues and prophesying. that was the day Aarav received the spiritual gifts of tongues and prophesy. With time, he observed that he now had the gift of discerning of spirits and the ability to know things that he normally would not know (word of knowledge). Spiritual gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit as the He wills. The Holy Spirit not only gives us spiritual gifts, He is the one who powers (or works) them. So walking in communion with the Holy Spirit is the key to walking and excelling in your spiritual gifts. Receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit is key to receiving spiritual gifts. Go into today remembering that God wants you to walk in spiritual gifts so you can be more fruitful. Ask the Lord to deliver you from everything that hinders your communion with the Holy Spirit. —Pst.

Washing Each Other’s Feet

🔊Audio Version Here ☞ http://bit.ly/aud1860 John 13:10 (NET) Jesus replied, “The one who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not every one of you.” Read John 13:1-17 We know that the one Jesus referred to here as not being clean was Judas Iscariot. Was it that Judas didn’t have a physical bath like the others? Or was it that Jesus didn’t physically wash Judas’ feet like He did the others? This clearly proves that what Jesus demonstrated in washing His disciple’s feet had a deep spiritual meaning. Jesus told his disciples in John 15:3 that: ‘You are clean already because of the word that I have spoken to you’. So we can see that being clean is not physical but spiritual. And the way through which are clean is by believing the word of God that brings faith in Christ Jesus. The feet are the part of the body that can most easily get dirty again, even after the body has been bathed. As we go through this dusty dirty world, our feet can come in contact with dirt and become dirty. (We can limit this by having our feet shod with the gospel of truth. This means we reveal and do not hide our identity as believers but are ready witnesses of Christ everywhere). Jesus was the one who washed His disciples’ feet. He has instructed us to wash each other’s feet in the same way (see John 13:14). As we deal with believers, we may observe some lapses and faults or backslidings. We are not to be condemnatory or judgmental; we are to carefully wash their feet by interceding for them and by sometimes admonishing them with the Word in love. This is a very important aspect of our Kingdom life. Remember that Jesus interceded for His disciples. He knew that the devil wanted to destroy Peter, but because of His intercession for Peter, Peter was restored (see Luke 22:31-32). Is there a brother or sister close to you that you notice is backsliding? The Lord Jesus expects you to wash his/her feet: intercede and do not condemn. You can’t do both. —Pst.

YOU HAVE AUTHORITY

🔊Get Devotional & Bible Audio Here ☞ http://bit.ly/aud1859 Matt 28:18-19 [KJV] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.   There was a day my friend and I was praying for two young ladies possessed with the spirit of witchcraft. When the power of God came upon them, they started confessing, and saying things that they could do with witchcraft powers. I marveled greatly because as a believer, I did not operate in the dimension of mysteries they talked about. But still, they submitted themselves to me, showing that I truly have spiritual authority that is superior to theirs.   It was then that I realized that they had great knowledge of the little power that they have but I had little knowledge of the superior great power I have in Christ Jesus. This is the case with most believers, many of us have little knowledge of the Spirit that dwells within us, and because of this limited knowledge, we can do only little exploit (see Dan 11:32). Many believers are ignorant of who they are and what they have. As a child of God, you have power and authority. It was given to you as part of your inheritance in Christ Jesus. Jesus secured all power by going to the cross, dying a horrible death, suffering the penalty of sin, and defeating Satan in hell. Go into the world today knowing that Jesus has given you authority. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. -Pastor Lanre Tobi BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: I Chronicles 20-24 Join our Daily Broadcasts:  Whatsapp group link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IIHKNAgfXYA98HiszHubnw | BBM: 58FC6299 | Telegram group: streamglobe.org/join Source: Devotional

Spiritual Gifts- Interpretation of Tongues

Get Audio Version Here: bit.ly/aud1858 1 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. Not long ago, I spoke with a servant of God who was in an American hospital to visit some folks. While he was there, he saw some white men praying and speaking in tongues. But as he listened carefully, he noticed that one of them was speaking his local African language. He first thought the man understood the language, but when he talked to the man later, it was clear that the man was simply praying in tongues and did not understand the language in question. The white men were so excited when they heard the interpretation of what was said because it agreed with their prayer point. I remember the first time someone interpreted my tongues. I was simply praying in tongues to God, and this man sitting near me gave me the interpretation of my prayer in tongues. I was so excited because the things he said I was praying were exactly the burden in my heart at that moment. This man didn’t know me so there was no way he could have known those things, but he heard me praying in tongues and could interpret my prayers. From that day, I took my prayer in tongues a little more seriously. The gift of interpretation of tongues is one that enables believers that have it to know the meaning of certain tongues they hear. It could happen that they begin to hear someone’s tongues in a language they understand, or they just simply begin to know the meaning of the tongues they hear, whether the tongues are messages from God to people (in which case it must be interpreted) or prayers to God. Those who have the gift of diverse tongues usually also have the gift of interpretation of tongues. When a message is given to people in a tongue, it is important that the message is interpreted if the message would profit them. Go into today remembering that spiritual gifts were given to profit withal. Those who have a desire for the increase of God’s kingdom will more easily walk in spiritual gifts. —Pst.

Spiritual Gifts- Different Kinds of Tongues

Get Audio Version Here: bit.ly/aud1857 1 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. When most believers receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, they receive the ability to speak in an unknown tongue, and most of the time, this ‘unknown tongue’ becomes their prayer language. There is a difference between ‘unknown tongue’ (as seen in 1 Corinthians 14:2), and  ‘different kinds of tongues’ (as seen in 1 Cor 12:10). While the purpose of speaking in ‘an unknown tongue’ is to talk to God (who does not need an interpreter) and to edify oneself (see 1 Corinthians 14:2,4), the purpose of the gift of ‘different kinds of tongues’ is to bring a message to people and edify them. All spiritual gifts are for the profit of all, not for personal edification (see 1 Cor 12:7). People would need tongues to be interpreted if it would profit them. If you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, that tongue you most likely speak is ‘an unknown tongue’ and not necessarily ‘diverse kinds of tongues’. You may have noticed that what you have been speaking is the same tongue or language that is not understood by anyone(see 1Cor 14:2), and there may be a lot of monotony to it. It is a tongue (an unknown tongue) and different from the gift of ‘tongues’ or ‘different kinds of tongues’. The gift of ‘tongues’ or ‘different kinds of tongues’ helps those who have it to bring prophetic messages to people. It is equal to the gift of prophecy if interpreted (see 2 Cor 14:5). This should not be confused with speaking in ‘an unknown tongue’ or ‘a tongue’ which is used for praying to God. All do not have the spiritual gift of ‘different kinds of tongues’ (see 1 Corinthians 12:30), but all who have been baptized in the Holy Ghost would normally receive the ability to speak [to God] in ‘an unknown tongue’ (see Acts 10:46, Acts 19:6, Mark 16:17). Go into today remembering that speaking in different kinds of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:10, 14:5) is different from speaking in an unknown tongue (1 Corinthians 14:2). The one is speaking unto men for their edification while the other is speaking unto God, and for self-edification. —Pst.

Spiritual Gifts- Discerning of Spirits

Get Audio Version Here: bit.ly/aud1856 1 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. Emeka was about to enter an important business deal with a young man who was trying to market some goods to him. Because Emeka had never met the young man in person but only communicated with him online, he did not know why his spirit was uneasy about this business deal that was supposed to be one that would bring great profit. The day Emeka met the young man with whom he was to enter the business deal, he knew he was not going to proceed with the deal because he had the gift of discerning of spirits and had discerned that the young man had a wrong spirit. Later, Emeka learned that the young man was a fraud who had long left the company he claimed to represent. Emeka’s business was saved because he had the gift of ‘discerning of spirits’. ‘Discerning of spirits’ is a spiritual gift that enables those who have it know the nature of spirits they are dealing with. Because all human beings are spirit beings, those who have this gift can discern the true nature of people they come in contact with. This is the spiritual gift that can make a person enter a room and discern that there are unclean spirits in that room, or there are angels. Like every spiritual gift, the operation of this gift in people is in levels and degrees. For example, every believer has an angel (see Matt 18:10, Ps 91:11, Heb 1:14), but those who have a heightened level of this spiritual gift may even be able to discern their angels, and discern the presence of other angels and even demons, etc. Go into today asking the Lord for a higher measure of the spiritual gift you have received. —Pst.

Spiritual Gifts- Prophecy

1 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. Prophecy is one of the most coveted spiritual gifts. It is indeed one of the most powerful. Through it, you can predict the future, shape the future, create miracles, probe into the past, wrought deliverance, etc. Word of wisdom gives direction concerning what to do in the future while word of knowledge reveals what has happened in the past or what is currently happening. Prophecy reveals what will happen in the future. Some prophecies are revelatory while some others are creative. The fig tree dried up because Jesus spoke to it, Jesus did not say it would dry up as a prediction (see Mark 11:12-25). The famine that ended in Samaria ended because of the prophecy of Elisha, Elisha’s prophecy didn’t predict the famine’s end, it created it (see 2 Kings 7:1-18). Elijah did not predict the end of the drought in Israel; the rain that ended the drought was created because of his prophetic grace (see 1 Kings 18). There are things that when God wants to do, He would first inspire His children/prophets to prophesy them into existence, and then those things would be established on the earth. From Genesis, we can learn that everything God created in this our realm was first spoken into existence. That principle has not changed even today. God creates things in our world today through His sons that prophesy. It wasn’t because of Paul’s personal bias that he asked the believers to especially desire the gift of prophecy (see 1 Cor 14:1), it was because of his understanding of the power this spiritual gift can wield. This spiritual gift can bring about swift execution of judgment against God’s adversaries, it can create miracles, signs, and wonders, etc–it is creative. Go into today desiring and asking to walk in the prophetic gift. All believers do not occupy the office of the prophet, but all believers can operate in the prophetic gift. Prayer: Heavenly Father, Please help me properly walk in my prophetic heritage as your son, in Jesus name. Amen. —Pst.

Spiritual Gifts- Working of Miracles

Get Audio Version Here: bit.ly/aud1854 1 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) To another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. A man and his colleagues were driving in his car back to the office when suddenly one of his tires burst and everyone in the car could hear the sound. Because this man was a believer who had the spiritual gift of ‘working of miracles’, he didn’t stop but became charged in his spirit and commanded the tire that burst to “rise back up in the name of Jesus”. Instantly, the car stabilized back and they continued on their journey till they got back to the office. There was great silence in the car from that point. An unusual miracle had happened. They all just saw their colleague in the office command his deflated car tire to inflate back and it obeyed. That was the day the man’s secretary accepted the Lord Jesus. (This is a true story that happened in Nigerian city). Working of miracles is a spiritual gift that causes believers to have supernatural control over matter. This is the gift that can make a man pray for a malfunctioning car and it would start working properly because he prayed. It is the spiritual gift that makes physically impossible things to become possible. Supernatural healing is a miracle, but this spiritual gift does not just bring about healing to the human body, it causes inanimate things to respond to your words. Go into today remembering that the ability to perform miracles is a spiritual gift that is available to you. Matthew 7:7-8 says: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh. findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you receive and walk in your spiritual gifts. —Pst. Abraham Damilola Arigi BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 1-6 Streamglobe is interdenominational.
