Romans 7:4 (NET) So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God. When Ken understood that he was under demonic oppression, he knew that even though medical treatments helped him from his current affliction, he would be back to the hospital in no time because the demonic affliction would find another way to manifest. That was his experience for many months. He knew that this was a curse in his bloodline because his father, uncles and even his elder brothers were afflicted around the same age with a similar kind of affliction before they died. When his mother asked around in the village, she was told that it was impossible for the curse to be broken except by human sacrifice because the curse was set into motion by the violation of certain ancient covenants ratified by human sacrifice. Ken believed his case was hopeless until he saw a TV program and heard the preacher teaching from Romans 7. From the teaching, he understood that if he accepted Christ as his Lord, he would become a member of Christ’s body and receive eternal life. Because of eternal life that is timeless, he would be included in Christ before the foundation of the world and would be included in Christ when Christ died on the cross. Because of Christ’s death, he would be free from this powerful curse that seeks to cut his life short. After this understanding, Kelechi accepted the Lord Jesus (this time in truth) and was willing to forsake all sins and live under the authority of God. In three months time, he was perfectly healed. One way to surely come out of a curse is through death. Anyone who is in Christ died in Christ and should not be under the influence of any curse. But there are many Christians that are not walking in this reality. Every spiritual reality we have in Christ is received and actualized by faith. We must first be taught about them, and then receive them by believing what was taught. That’s why faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). Go into today remembering that you were included in Christ in his death, and because of this, you are free from the law and the curse of the law. You now live a new eternal life that cannot be brought under any curse. -Abraham Damilola Arigi Want to be born again?

One of the most remarkable things about true faith in the Lord Jesus is the power it produces. I have seen drug addicts delivered from their addiction because of the power of the cross. I have seen very vile sinners transformed into holy saints because of the power of the cross. People who everyone (including their family members) gave up on have become useful members of their families and societies because of the power of the cross. But this power is only released when people receive the kingdom of God and not merely a gospel that excludes the kingdom life. When people receive a gospel that excludes repentance and submission to the authority of Christ, what they received is not the gospel of the kingdom of the kingdom of God but merely exciting but idle talk, and the power of God does not accompany that kind of gospel. But when the gospel of the kingdom is preached, the power of Christ is deployed to bring people out of the domain of darkness into the kingdom of Christ. Certain arrogant teachers arose in the Corinthian church (see 1Cor 4:19), and these teachers preached a gospel that excluded the kingdom of God. They were partly responsible for the sorry state of the Corinthian church when Paul penned 1 Corinthians. He had to admonish the church about the conduct of those who inherit the kingdom of God (see 1 Cor 6:9-10). Go into today remembering that the gospel of the kingdom of God is one that establishes righteousness in the life of the believer, peace with God and with his neighbors, and is one that celebrates the Holy Ghost (see Rom 14:17). —SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Luke 23-24 (in today’s audio) Get sermons here☞ streamglobe.org/34 Streamglobe is interdenominational.

TIME: 9am & 4pm.VENUE: Holy Faith Bible Church, Opposite Lokongoma Phase 2 First gate, Near Royal Crown School, Lokoja James 4:7 (YLT) Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you When Clara became born again, she did not realize that accepting Christ as Lord meant she was to be subject to the government of God. She was still the ruler of her life. Because of this, she did not have spiritual power and authority. She would attempt to cast out demons, but they would not answer and the situation would remain the same. She knew this because she was still tormented by demons in her sleep. She realized one day through the study of the word that she was not truly subject to the lordship of Christ. Her life was not regulated by the Spirit of Christ and she knew it. She repented of this and started to live her life according to God’s word. It wasn’t easy at first, but she found that as she became more and more subject to the authority of Christ, she could wield more and more spiritual power. A time came that even the weather would respond to her prayer. She also observed that the demons that tormented her were just no longer there. Many Christians do not walk in their spiritual authority because they do not live under the authority of Christ. The degree to which you are submitted to the authority of Christ is the degree to which you will also walk in Christ’s spiritual authority. Christ rules your life by His Word and by His Spirit. If there is anything in your life that is contrary to His word, it is a sign that your life is not fully submitted to His authority. Go into today remembering that it is God’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. This means God wants you to have access to the authority and power in His kingdom. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you totally submit to His authority and walk in it too. -Pst. Abraham Damilola Arigi Not yet saved?

Discerning The Mature
Download Today’s Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1669 The 2019 Streamglobe International Conference begins today 18th July. TIME: 4pm (Today, Fri & Sat). 9am(Fri & Sat).VENUE: Holy Faith Bible Church, Opposite Lokongoma Phase 2 First gate, Near Royal Crown School, Lokoja. Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi 1 Corinthians 3:3 (NET) for you are still influenced by the flesh. For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people? A preacher read yesterday’s devotional and was quite confused because he did not know how to determine when his listeners are spiritually mature. He also wondered if a time would come when all the people listening to him would be mature enough for him to teach them the mysteries of the kingdom since new believers were added daily. A couple of times, I have found myself preparing a sermon, but found it almost impossible to deliver to the people. But as I depend on the Holy Spirit, I receive an entirely different message for them. When a minister yields to the Holy Spirit, he would find that he cannot teach some things to certain people because they are not yet ready for it. In today’s Bible text, we can see that Apostle Paul knew how to discern those who are spiritually mature from those who are spiritual babies. The major way to identify mature believers is that they are spiritual. They are controlled by the Spirit and no more by the flesh. For example, if you see believers who are worldly, or who easily quarrel, or get angry easily, it is most likely because they have not grown up spiritually. Spiritual growth is not primarily a function of how long you have been a believer, it is a function of how yielded you are to the Lord; how submitted you are to His will. Those who are given to the study of the word and prayer grow faster than those who are not. Go into today remembering that those who are still spiritual babes do not walk in their spiritual authority. This is the reason why believers can still be walking under limitations imposed by the kingdom of darkness. —Abraham Damilola Arigi Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Bible Yearly: Proverbs 2-3 (Available in Today’s Audio) Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Escape Eternal Death 2
Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/audDev2032 The 2019 Streamglobe International Conference begins today 18th July. TIME: 4pm (Today, Fri & Sat). 9am(Fri & Sat).VENUE: Holy Faith Bible Church, Opposite Lokongoma Phase 2 First gate, Near Royal Crown School, Lokoja. Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi Romans 6:23 (NET) For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Kingsley lived with his elder brother in the city, but his relationship with his brother left much to be desired. Kingsley was a thief and a gambler. He was so addicted to gambling that he once sold his brother’s car to gamble when his brother was out of town. The sin in Kingsley’s life killed his relationship with his elder brother who loved him so much. Sin has been responsible for killing many relationships. A man with a good wife loses his marriage because he is an adulterer. A child loses his life because of a drug overdose. A plane crashes and kills hundreds because the pilot is suicidal, etc. Even physically speaking, sin is responsible for many deaths in our world. Yet the death sin brings is more spiritual than physical. It is because of this spiritual death that there are sicknesses and diseases in the world. It is because of this spiritual death that humans can be oppressed by demons. Sin brings all kinds of death, but God’s gift of righteousness brings eternal life. The opposite of death of is life. The only way we can receive God’s gift of eternal life is when we accept the Lord Jesus(John 3:16). Accepting the Lord Jesus does not begin and end with coming out for an altar call and/or praying a prayer. It begins with a decision to accept the Lordship and rulership of Jesus over your life. This decision would cause you to pray certain prayers and make certain definite decisions to forsake your sins because sin is an act of rebellion against the Lordship of Christ. Accepting the Lordship of Christ would change everything about your life. It would change your world view from the default world view ruled by the Prince of this world to one ruled by God’s eternal kingdom. It would change your culture and eliminate any practice and maxim that is contrary to the government of Christ. After a person accepts the Lordship of Christ, he needs to learn the way of the Kingdom so that he would grow and become fruitful and great in the kingdom. This learning process is what we commonly call discipleship. Go into today remembering that the only way a person can receive God’s gift of righteousness that produces eternal life is by submitting to the Lordship of Christ and abiding in Him. Eternal life is the only life strong enough to conquer the death of sin. Prayer: Lord, help me to live a life that reflects your kingdom and power. Amen. -Abraham Damilola Arigi Want to be born again?

Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/audDev2031 You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 18th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Register for the Conference Here: www.streamglobe.org/conference2019 Romans 6:23 (NET) For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. We have been talking about slavery to sin and we have seen previously that it is either a person is a slave to sin and the devil through sin, or he is a slave to God through righteousness. Being a slave to the devil is a horrible thing. There is nothing of an eternal substance you get as payoff except death. You will work until you die, and spend the rest of your eternity in shame and regret in the lake of fire. Such was the portion of every human being born into this world. Because we all sin, we were under the slavery of the devil and all doomed to eternal death. But God in His infinite love created a rescue way for us. As many as believe in the Lord Jesus will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Those who believe in Him are rescued from the dominion of sin and brought under the dominion of righteousness. The only payoff you get for living a life of sin is death. But when you submit to the Lord Jesus and begin to live a life of righteousness, you will receive the gift of eternal life as a benefit. Go into today remembering that the only way to escape the wages of sin is by submitting to the Lord Jesus in truth. If you have not yet submitted to Him, do that today and receive His gift of eternal life. Escape eternal death and receive eternal life. Prayer: Lord Jesus. I believe that you are the son of God who died for my sins and rose up from the dead after the third day. I ask you to come and be Lord of my life indeed. Forgive me my sins and help me to now live a life ruled by you. Amen. -Abraham Damilola Arigi Want to be born again?

Sanctification
Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/audDev2030 You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 18th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Register for the Conference Here: www.streamglobe.org/conference2019 Romans 6:21-22 (NET) So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death. But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life. When I was much younger, I used to hear a lot about sanctification. It was believed by many believers in my country then that after a person believes and is discipled, the next stage was sanctification. A believer who is now converted and has lost the vestiges of his old life was the one considered to be sanctified. There were many excesses those days, but one thing I can say for sure about what I remember those days was that those who professed faith in Christ Jesus were more disciplined than many who claim to be born again today. As a result of true sanctification, there was a great revival in my country. Many non-Christians and Idol worshipers received the gospel. It was commonplace to see a minister of the gospel who was formerly an enemy of the church before he received Christ. The church was not as wealthy but much more powerful in her ability to penetrate and win souls. But with time, somehow, among mainstream believers, teachings about sanctification diminished and many believers today don’t even know what it means to be sanctified after believing. But in today’s Bible verse, we see that those who are free from sin have their benefit leading to sanctification. There are dimensions of God’s glory and power that can only be revealed through sanctified vessels. Sinners would not be truly convicted and truly repent through the gospel from an unsanctified vessel. Go into today remembering that sanctification sets you apart to God and God alone. Only those the Lord has sanctified can be truly useful for all His good works (2 Timothy 2:21). Prayer: Lord, help me to live a sanctified Holy life that radiates your presence and glory. -Abraham Damilola Arigi Want to be born again?

The Doctrine of Christ
Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/audDev2029 You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 18th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Register for the Conference Here: www.streamglobe.org/conference2019 Romans 6:17-18 (KJV) But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. Because Maxine loved and wanted to please God in all things, she did not rest until she put the matter of wanton iniquity in her life to rest. As she sought to be permanently free from the slavery of sin, she learned that the way to stay free from the slavery of sin was for her to be delivered and made a servant of righteousness. She submitted herself to discipleship and accountability. She learned and unlearned a lot of things through the doctrine of Christ. This is how Maxine became totally free and able to fulfill God’s call upon her life. We see from today’s Bible verses that it was by obeying the doctrine delivered to them that the believers were free from slavery to sin and made servants of righteousness. Remember that if a person is delivered from slavery to sin but not made a servant of righteousness, he would go to back to his slavery to sin. What then was this doctrine delivered to believers by the Apostles that made for permanent freedom from the dominion of sin? This doctrine can simply be called the Doctrine of Christ. We can see in 2 John 1:9 that it is those who abide in the doctrine of Christ that have both the father and the son. The doctrine of Christ will ultimately cause people to be filled with God. In 1 Timothy 1:3, we can see that this doctrine accords with godliness(it makes godless people godly). We can see in Hebrews 6:1-2 that there are six foundational principles of the doctrine of Christ. They are Repentance from dead works, Faith towards God, Doctrine of Baptisms, Laying of hands, Resurrection of the dead, and Eternal Judgment. In order to properly receive the doctrine of Christ and walk in the liberty it brings, a believer must be given to discipleship, accountability, and learning. The doctrine of Christ brings salvation, deliverance, holiness, and causes believers to walk in their inheritance as sons of God(see The Obadiah 1:17). Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to submit to discipleship and enjoy permanent freedom in Christ (see John 8:31-32). -Abraham Damilola Arigi Want to be born again?

No To Slavery 2
Download Today’s Audio: bit.ly/audDev2028 You are invited to the 2019 Streamglobe Conference | Date: July 18th-20th, 2019 | Venue: Holy Faith Bible Church, Lokoja, Nigeria. | Guest Speaker: Apostle Arome Osayi | Register for the Conference Here: www.streamglobe.org/conference2019 Romans 6:19 (NET) (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. Maxine got to understand that her challenges with sinful habits had gone beyond the works of the flesh but demons were involved, thus she got delivered and could now control herself and say ‘no’ to certain sins she didn’t have the ability resist in the past. But as weeks passed, she found herself back into the bondage of those sins again. There was no doubt in her heart that she was delivered, but she found that she got back into the bondage again. This was because she had not replaced her slavery to sin with slavery to righteousness. It has been said that the easiest way to overcome an addiction is to replace it with another. Whenever God says we should not do something, He tells us what to do in its stead. In Psalm 1, the Lord says we should not walk in the counsel of ungodly, stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, he tells us what to do instead. He says our delight should be in His word and we should meditate on it day and night. So instead of spending time with the wrong company, he wants us to spend time with His word. If the Lord says we should not be drunk with wine, he gives us something we should do instead. He says we should be filled with the Spirit instead (see Eph 5:19). If a person is not to be a slave to sin anymore, he would have to be a slave to righteousness. Nature abhors vacuums. If a person is delivered from slavery to sin but is not delivered into slavery to righteousness, he would go back into slavery to sin. How do we come under slavery to righteousness so that we do not go back to slavery to sin? By submitting to the Spirit of righteousness and letting Him fill us. Just like communing with people who are slaves to sin brings people under slavery to sin, when a person who has been delivered from slavery to sin continues to fellowship with those who are slaves to righteousness, he too will be like them. A man who walks with the wise will become wise (see Proverbs 13:20). One thing through which evil company corrupts is the words and counsel they give. Words of unrighteousness shape the world view of the unrighteous. But when a person wants to be a slave to righteousness, he would need to unlearn the philosophies and maxims of unrighteousness he had lived by in past and submit to the educational system of righteousness through the ministry of God’s Word. His value system needs to change to that of Christ. The worst thing that can happen to a believer is being a slave to sin, it gives license to the kingdom of darkness. But being a slave to righteousness is the way to excel and be fruitful in God’s eternal kingdom. Go into today remembering that the only way to remain free from slavery to sin is to become a slave to righteousness. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you to totally submit to Him and never be a slave to anyone or anything but Him. -Abraham Damilola Arigi Want to be born again?
