But When Men Slept
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Audio version with Bible here: bit.ly/aud1985 Healing prayer for the sick in today’s audio Matthew 13:25 (KJV) But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. After Joel stock his new fish ponds with fingerlings, he would come every morning and evening to feed them and sometimes just stand admiring how the little creatures were fearing. After some months when the time of harvest was near, Joel woke up as usual and went to the ponds to feed the fish. but to his shock, more than two third of the fish were missing– someone had stolen them. The thief came in the night while Joel slept. It was after this sad incidence that Joel employed a guard. You see, the devil is a thief (see John 10:10), he achieves this by taking advantage of the weakness or weak moment of the one from whom he steals. One of such moment is described as ‘when men slept’. Jesus in Matthew 24:43 (KJV) says that, if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. So, the way to keep the thief away is to keep watch. How then do we watch? Matthew 26:38 KJV, ‘Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.’ According to Jesus in the passage above, to watch means to pray. And someone may say, how can I pray when I am weak? Mark 14:38 (KJV) says, ‘Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.’ It is whenever you don’t feel like praying that you need prayer the most, because, not feeling like praying is a temptation and the way to overcome it is to pray. Go into today knowing that when you keep watching, you keep the thief away. Pray like this: Father, I receive the spirit of grace and prayer, and with discipline and the help of the Holy Spirit, I keep the enemy away from my life in Jesus name. —Dr. Emmanuel James Want to be born again?

God Wants All People Saved
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Audio version with Bible here: bit.ly/aud1242 Healing prayer for the sick in today’s audio 1 Timothy 2:4 (NET)… [God] wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Emeka had prayed for the salvation of his brothers for years, but it appeared that things were getting worse and not better. A time came that he started to entertain the false thought that maybe his brothers were not saved because they were never selected by God for salvation. This thought in his heart weakened his faith and made his prayer for his brothers less powerful. When he knew that it was God’s will for them to be saved, his supplications for them became more powerful and regular, and he started seeing the result. All his brothers eventually became saved. I have come to learn that the most powerful kind of prayer regarding the salvation of others is the prayer of supplication. Another word for supplication is begging. When it comes to the will and choice of other people, your declarations and demands may not be very effective, but your plea before the throne of God for them is very effective. Only God has the authority to influence the will of people, and we have to make sufficient supplications before His throne to make this happen. If we begin to entertain the false thought that maybe God has not selected a person to be saved, it weakens our faith in prayer for that person’s salvation. Go into today knowing that one of the reasons God placed you in your family is because He wants you to pray and generate sufficient spiritual license for Him to invade the other members of your family with His salvation. Prayer: Lord, please help me do my part in facilitating the salvation of my loved ones. Amen. —Pst. Abraham Damilola ArigiWant to be saved?

Turning the Grace of God Into License
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Jude 1:4 (NET) For certain men have secretly slipped in among you – men who long ago were marked out for the condemnation I am about to describe – ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. A certain preacher traveled a far distance to preach in a church that invited him. While resting in his motel room, he heard a knock on his door. When he responded he realized it was a desperate prostitute who saw him as a potential client. He felt a lot of pity for her while informing her that he wasn’t interested in her services. “Only if this precious one would receive the gospel and be set free” he thought. To his biggest surprise the next day, after finding his way to the church where he was to preach, he noticed that the same prostitute who knocked on his door in the motel was one of the chorus leaders in the choir. He couldn’t understand how this could be. When he further inquired, he observed that some of the leaders in the church knew what this lady used to do once in a while to “help herself pay the bills”, but they all looked the other way because they said “after all, we are under grace. It is not by works but by grace”. Clearly, this church and its teachers had taken the grace of God as a license to sin. They were in great danger but didn’t know it. If the grace of God is not properly understood, it would be taken for a license to sin by those who do not love righteousness(Romans 6:1-2). But if the grace of God is properly understood, it is the greatest power against the dominion of sin in the life of a believer (see Romans 6:14). Grace can be mistaken for license by some because righteousness through grace is one that does not depend on works and rules, but one that is received as a gift and appropriated by faith. This faith makes the believer understand that the reason he is accepted by God is not because of what he did but because of the righteousness of Jesus. This understanding and living from this standpoint of faith is the secret to walking truly in the righteousness of Jesus– one that has dominion over sin. Go into today remembering that it is an agenda of the devil to cause believers to take the grace of God and turn it into a license for sin. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Confession: sin has no dominion over me. I walk in grace and not under condemnation. Hallelujah! —Pst. Abraham Damilola Arigi Want to be born again?

Sowing Wisely 3
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Audio Version: bit.ly/aud1983 Galatians 6:6-8 (NET) Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it. Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows, because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Galatians 6:6-8 (NET) Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it. Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows, because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. The first time Linda gave to the man of God through whom she had learned the way of the kingdom, she had an expectation to be blessed because she sowed into his ministry, but that expectation was not the reason she gave. She gave because she wanted to honor him and help with the work he was doing, and she got a bountiful harvest of reward from the Lord. But the second time Linda gave to this man of God, the only reason she was giving was that she wanted to get something in return. That was why she got nothing from the LORD. Many believers sow in the right field but not with the right motive, and because of this, they reap nothing. Giving to God only because you want something in return is not the way to sow to the spirit. Search the scriptures, you will see that all who received a bountiful harvest because of their giving didn’t do so primarily because of the returns. They gave either because of honor, or because they wanted to meet a need, or because of love for God’s kingdom. These were the people who were rewarded for their giving. Go into today remembering that the right field to share all good things are with the ones who teach you the word. PRAYER: ask God to purify your motives when giving so that you would not sow to the flesh and reap nothing. Want to be born again? Go here: streamglobe.org/33 —Pst.

Seedtime and Harvest
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Audio Version: bit.ly/aud1982 Genesis 8:22 (KJV) While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Instead of picking stones from her beans like many others, Amara used the clever method of pouring the beans in water, thereby letting the stones and the bad beans settle, and picking out the good beans but leaving the bad ones and stones in the water. She would then throw out the water with the bad beans and stones on a little portion of soil in her backyard. With time she observed that some of the beans thrown out started germinating and growing. She allowed them to grow and in due time, she harvested a small bucket full of beans from that unintentional planting. Amara didn’t have a bountiful harvest of bags of beans because even though she sowed, her sowing was not intentional. Seedtime is when you sow and give away in hope. Harvest is when you receive as a result of what has been sown. Only fools fail to realize that for every harvest there was a seed time. Life is guided by the law of seedtime and harvest. Many times, people sow seeds without knowing it. But you would agree with me that those who expect a bountiful harvest are deliberate and intentional in their sowing. Those who want a bountiful harvest deliberately sow bountifully. Many believers today expect a bountiful harvest from the Lord but they have not been sowing anything intentionally and purposefully. For example, Sowing quality time daily in the place of prayer reaps a bountiful harvest of spiritual power and intimacy with God (see James 5:16, Heb 11:6). Sowing in the place of the word reaps a harvest of divine wisdom and understanding, and mountain-moving faith, etc. (see Psalm 19:7, Romans 10:17). Sowing financially in love to support the work of God yields a harvest of financial open doors and increase (see Luke 6:38, Phil 4:18-19). Go into today determining to prepare for a bountiful harvest by sowing bountifully(see 2 Cor 9:6). Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me be deliberate, purposeful and wise in my sowing. Amen.

Sowing Wisely 2
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Audio Version: bit.ly/aud1981 Galatians 6:6-8 (NET) Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows,because the person who sows to his own flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. After Linda observed that the reason she received great financial open doors that season of her life was because she gave the most to the minister who had instructed her in the word of God the most, she started giving to that minister again. But this time, she did not receive any financial breakthrough. She became confused because she expected her doors to open but they did not. Even though the reason she received the kind of breakthrough she received at first was because she gave to that minister, her motive for giving the second time was now polluted. This time she was sowing to the flesh and that was why she did not receive anything. The first time she gave to that minister, it was because she sincerely appreciated his ministry and wanted to support it. But this second time, she gave because she wanted to do a transaction with God that would fetch her financial breakthrough. The first time she sowed, she sowed to the spirit because she gave in the spirit to God and for His servant, this second time the real reason she gave was because she wanted a return. There was no spiritual seed of honor or love for God’s kingdom, there was only the fleshly seed of greed and self-aggrandizement. Go into today remembering that God is not mocked. Those who sow to themselves(the flesh) under the disguise of giving to God will reap nothing but corruption. But those who sow to the spirit by letting their motivation for giving be honor to God and His servants, love for God’s kingdom, and love for people, will reap a bountiful harvest. Prayer: Lord please help me sow to the Spirit and no more to the flesh. Amen. Want to be born again? click here: streamglobe.org/33 —Pst.

Sowing Wisely
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Audio Version: bit.ly/aud1980 Galatians 6:6-7 (NET) Now the one who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it.Do not be deceived. God will not be made a fool. For a person will reap what he sows Linda observed that there was a season in her life that she walked in great financial open doors she never expected. When she started inquiring of the the Lord the reason for the unusual open doors she experienced that season, the Lord showed her that it was because she shared her money with a pastor from whom she had learned so much. During that season of her life, she was sowing correctly and reaping a bountiful harvest. Many believers wonder where the most fruitful field for them to give their finances may be. The answer to this important question is found in today’s Bible verses. Believers are expected to share their material things with those who instruct them with the word of God. See the way the Lord presents this truth to us through Apostle Paul here:1 Corinthians 9:11 (NET) If we sowed spiritual blessings among you, is it too much to reap material things from you? Many Christians give their money to ‘pastors and prophets’ who use cunning craftiness and deceitful gimmicks to extract money from them. They do not realize that those who fall for such fall because they are spiritual babies(see 1 Cor 3:1)–carnal believers who can be tossed to and fro by the cunning craftiness of men who deceive(see Ephesians 4:14) because their motive for giving is greed, which these cunning men exploit. Go into today knowing that the way to identify the spiritually fruitful fields to sow your finances for kingdom advancement is by identifying where you are truly being fed with the word of God unto spiritual growth. Prayer: Father, help me sow properly and reap bountifully, in Jesus name. Amen. Want to be born again? click here: streamglobe.org/33 —Pst.

Be Strong in The Lord
You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 19th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/aud1979 Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. During the Second World War, when Hitler and his army was advancing to take over the world with the might of what Winston Churchill referred to as ‘perverted science’, Winston Churchill, the then prime minister of Britain, knew that the only way Britain and the rest of the world would overcome Hitler was if they remained strong and stood their ground in spite of all the overwhelming attacks. Here’s an excerpt of Churchill’s June 18, 1940 speech to the British house of commons: “… Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.â€� “ The rest of the Christian world overcame Hitler and his satanic agenda because they insisted on being strong in spite of it all. The battle looked like a lost course, but one sign that they remained strong was that they never spoke words of discouragement but remained positive and optimistic in spite of contrary outcomes. In the end, God gave them victory. As a believer in Christ, the devil knows that if he cannot break you, he cannot win the war against you, because the victory that overcomes him is [recieved through] your faith(see 1 John 5:4), and you cannot walk in faith and discouragement at the same time. He knows his time is short so he will do anything to try and get you to the point of breaking in weakness and unbelief, but if you insist on God’s report and refuse to break down in discouragement, you will overcome through Christ. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you stay strong in Him. Resist every spirit of discouragement and weakness today because you are more than a conqueror.

Do Everything In Love
Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/aud1978 1 Corinthians 16:14 (NET) Everything you do should be done in love. When Seyi became a parent, she understood that love sometimes meant she needed to be hard and tough for the good of her children. She realized that not being tough at times was simply because of self-love. It’s easier sometimes to ignore the foolishness in the heart of a child than to engage on the rigorous and painstaking work of ‘tough love’ required to deliver that child from growing into an undisciplined adult. This understanding now made it easier for her to understand the many tough decisions God had to make as Father of all spirits and God of all flesh. She started understanding why sometimes God would make a severe decision against a certain group of people because He wanted to preserve the rest of the human race from destruction. After carefully studying the Old Testament, I have come to the conclusion that everything God does is out of great love. If you see God kill a person or group of people, it is because of His great love for every other person whose survival would hang in the balance if the iniquity of those people is allowed to spread. Consider the human race like a human body with a gangrenous limb due to an unhealed wound. A good doctor might have to amputate the gangrenous limb to save the rest of the body from becoming gangrenous and dying. God had to judge some people off the face of the earth because He wanted to preserve the rest of humankind from the level of corruption that would have made it impossible for Christ to come and save us. We as humans have not been given the awesome responsibility to judge people that way. We are to leave that responsibility to God. We are to however do everything in love. We are to love even our enemies and pray for them because we know God will already judge them in due time(see Matthew 5:43-45). Go into today remembering that doing everything in love is the hallmark of God’s holiness in us. This is the way to unleash the greatest power of the kingdom in your life. Prayer: Father, teach me to do all things in love and forever give you all glory.

Dare to Follow God
Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/aud1977 Proverbs 16:25 (KJV) There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. It was God Himself that gave Joseph dreams about his future, but instead of seeing the dream come to pass easily, he went through very tough and difficult times. He was thrown into a pit, sold as a slave, lied against, imprisoned and abandoned. He, however, came out of it all and saw his dream come to pass because he never gave up God trusting in God. Exodus 13:17-18 ‘KJV) ‘And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: [18] But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.’ We must learn to know God as Father, and that He always wants the best for us. If He leads us through tough moments, He’ll be in it with us to carry us through those moments. God knows what we can and cannot bear, therefore, it is wise to trust Him to lead us. There may be ways that seem easy and now, but these ways are filled with wars that will make life unbearable to the extent that we may lose our faith. Because of this, God, often times would lead us through other paths. But because we cannot see the wars that are ahead, there is a tendency to murmur. Dare to trust God, dare to follow Him and you will never face wars too difficult for you to overcome. Pray this way: Father, I know that you love me. I commit my ways to you and ask that you lead me. Lord, I dare to follow you.
