Children of God

Romans 8:16 (NET): “The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children.” Benise was a believer who lived a very disciplined life but was also a very miserable believer because she lived in the fear of going to hell and had no assurance of salvation. Because of this fear, other fears found expression in her life, and she was now a slave to fear. She got delivered from the dominion of fear after she heard and meditated on the words of an anointed song that went thus: “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God…” After listening to the song over and over again, she realized that all the fear in her heart was devilish. She sought to be delivered permanently and realized that the answer was in being filled with the Spirit. The infilling of the Spirit takes away fears (see Romans 8:15, 2 Timothy 1:7). One of the surest signs that a believer is filled with the Spirit is that they will have the assurance of salvation. This assurance takes away the fear of death (both spiritual and physical). It gives us boldness and boosts our faith in receiving from God because we know that He is our heavenly Father who loves us even more than an earthly father loves and cares for his children. Go into today thanking the Lord for the Holy Spirit that brings assurance of salvation and gives you boldness to walk in your liberty as a child of God. Prayer: Ask the Lord to deliver you from anything seeking to hinder your devotion to spiritual disciplines that make for a Spirit-filled life. —Abraham Damilola Arigi If you wish to start receiving Streamglobe Devotional early every day, join our WhatsApp channel through this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LFbRirvMpPC1KmzfDpr0bO Bible In 1 Year: Proverbs 5-6 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Broadcast 4098 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4098 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4098 Romans 8:17 (NET): “And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ) – if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.” Just this afternoon, I had a conversation with a young man who said he wouldn’t mind waiting to grow old before he lives a life that is fully committed to God. At that point, I knew I had to explain to him the benefits of knowing God from his youth because that is when he still has the strength to serve the Lord–service for which he would be eternally rewarded. Today’s Bible verse reveals that we who believe will be heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ Jesus if indeed we suffer with Him so we may be glorified with Him. There is a dimension of glory that is stored up for all of God’s children, but only those servants who put their talents to kingdom advancement use and serve the Lord will attain that height of eternal glory. Salvation [from eternal damnation] is a gift and not a reward. But authority and ranking in the kingdom is a reward for faithfulness to the Lord and obedience to His call (see Luke 19:17, Matthew 16:27, Revelation 22:12). Eternity is forever and ever, and we should care about our destiny there. Many people will be in the highest levels of God’s eternal glory for all eternity because they responded faithfully to the call of God and lived for Him–not shying away from the suffering it may incur on this side of eternity. But many others will not respond to the call. They will choose to live for themselves even though they have believed in the Lord Jesus. Even though many of such people will be saved through their faith in Christ, they will be saved as though through fire and would suffer loss (they would lose their reward–their ordained place of authority and glory in God’s eternal kingdom). Read 1 Corinthians 3:13-15. Go into today remembering that glory and honor are stored up for those who live for Christ–sacrificing all and even suffering for him because of their resolve to fulfill His purpose for sending them into time. Prayer: Holy Father, please help me live for you and fulfill your purpose for my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi If you wish to start receiving Streamglobe Devotional early every day, join our WhatsApp channel through this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LFbRirvMpPC1KmzfDpr0bO Bible In 1 Year: Psalms 72-74 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

A Life that Counts

Broadcast 4098 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4098 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4098 Psalm 68:11 (KJV) The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. In the Nigerian city where I grew up, there are burial grounds of European missionaries which are now historical sites. These missionaries died and were buried in the land because they came to preach the gospel. Some of these missionaries attended the best universities, but they saw a higher calling and were willing to give their lives for it. Today, many in Africa are believers because of their sacrifice. Many lives have been physically and eternally saved because of their sacrifice. I can still remember how it was a missionary called Mary Slessor whom the Lord used to end the infanticide ritual killing of twins in the southernmost part of Nigeria. When I look at my generation, I have a great concern in my heart because the emphasis and pursuits of many believers are for vain things. Believers who love their lives too much (and love the world) cannot effectively pass the light of the gospel to the next generation (see John 12:25, Revelation 12:11, 1 John 2:15). When the gospel was first preached [in Jerusalem], it was by a handful of people who were willing to give it all (both those on the frontline of apostolic missions and those who gave their resources to send them). Today, over two billion people on earth are called Christians, and many millions have come to know the Lord personally. But this didn’t happen without a great company of people intentionally committed to spreading God’s word. Even in the 19th century when there was a great missionary movement and many parts of Africa were evangelized, there were still some believers who loved the world too much and didn’t want to inconvenience themselves for the gospel. But there were those who considered the Kingdom as the most important thing in their lives. All the believers in that generation are now physically dead, but some of them have crowns and eternal rewards stored up for them (2 Timothy 4:8), while some others would be ashamed before the Lord (1 John 2:28). Even though the people from that generation are no longer in this world, they are still very much alive and conscious. Some are in joy, while others are in eternal sorrow and damnation. Go into today determined to be among the company of those who publish the word of the Lord in your generation. A life that counts is one committed to spreading The Kingdom. Prayer: Lord, help me live a life that counts in Your eternal scheme of things. Help me fulfill my part in what You are doing in my generation. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi If you wish to start receiving Streamglobe Devotional early every day, join our WhatsApp channel through this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LFbRirvMpPC1KmzfDpr0bO Bible In 1 Year: I Kings 19-22 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Joseph’s Bones

Broadcast 4088 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4088 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4088 Genesis 50:24-25 (NET): Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to you and lead you up from this land to the land He swore on oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath. He said, “God will surely come to you. Then you must carry my bones up from this place.” There is an assurance that God’s word must birth in you, an assurance so strong that the reality of His promises becomes more real than anything else. This is God’s desire for every believer. Joseph had attained royalty in Egypt, but he never lost sight of God’s promise. He told his brethren, “Surely God will come. God will lead you out of this land, and God will lead you into the land He promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Anyone can follow when physical evidence abounds—the Israelites who perished in the wilderness are proof of that. They ate manna, ate quails, saw the Red Sea part, and walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, yet they never truly believed God. Not so with Joseph. He basically said to them, “God will do what He said He will do. To show how much I believe that, take my body with you when you leave here.” Make the meditation of God’s word of utmost importance. Have a posture of mind that receives God’s word as an immutable revelation and not just some divine opinion. Build yourself on your most holy faith. Then you will take God’s word as truth. A man who sees God’s word as truth will order his life according to God’s word. The voice of God, as spoken by the Word, will be sharp and clear in his heart, even in the midst of the deafening din of this world’s counsel. Are you ordering your life according to God’s word, or are you cowering to this world’s counsel? Abide in God and let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me order my life according to Your truth and be fruitful in all things. Amen. Want to be born again?

The Eternal Government Part 2

Broadcast 4087 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4087 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4087 Hebrews 2:5 (KJV) For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. After Oyemade told his brethren about the threats from the people who wanted him to join their secret cults, they prayed together and agreed that he was to continue with the political race. He was thinking of leaving the race before because he understood that we believers would still reign over this earth when the Lord returns, but when it became clearer that his major opponent was an antichrist liberal whose agenda was to implement certain antichrist liberal policies, he was emboldened to continue in the race. Two months to the election, he was having a prayer walk in his compound at night when someone appeared to him through the back fence wall. Oyemade noticed that the man that appeared to him was surprised that he wasn’t afraid but rather spoke in tongues and commanded him to get out of his compound. Apparently, the man came to scare him out of the race, but Oyemade didn’t give the man the benefit of even speaking before he exercised authority over him—he vanished in terror. In spite of the opposition from the kingdom of darkness, Oyemade won the election and was able to stifle the tide of antichrist liberal policies in his city. The reason Oyemade could win that election against the will of the prince of this world (and his principalities) was because he too was a functional prince in God’s eternal kingdom and he used the superior authority of the Kingdom to conquer on the earth. Every true believer is a prince in God’s kingdom, but many are not functioning in their capacity because of spiritual ignorance and laziness. Many believers who get to the high places in this world and become overpowered fail because they do not surround themselves with the right people and the right systems. A believer representing Christ in the high places of this world (media and entertainment, big business, government, politics, etc.) must be as committed to prayer and the Word as an apostle at the forefront of missionary work in hostile places. Daniel is a good example. He was so committed to prayer (see Daniel 6:10) that even his enemies took notice. David is another good example of a man that succeeded in fulfilling God’s purposes in the high places of this world. He too was a man committed to prayer and the Word. He prayed in the evening, morning, and afternoon every day (Psalm 55:17). He prayed and meditated on God’s Word at night (Psalm 119:148). He had men of God around him who were not dazzled by his earthly greatness. Nathan could bring a message of stern rebuke from the Lord to King David and he would repent (see 2 Samuel 12:1-14). Those who would be witnesses for Christ in the high places of this world must realize that they are there for God’s kingdom agenda, not for themselves. They must rid themselves of the love of money and always remember that they have the backing of God’s eternal government that rules over everything. Prayer: Lord, give me the strength to stand for you in the high places of this world. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi   If you wish to start receiving Streamglobe Devotional early every day, join our WhatsApp channel through this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LFbRirvMpPC1KmzfDpr0bO   Bible In 1 Year: Proverbs 4 (in today’s audio)   Streamglobe is interdenominational.

The Eternal Government Part 1

Broadcast 4086 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4086 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4086 Hebrews 2:5 (KJV) For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. Oyemade was quite sure that he had his political game plan perfectly worked out. It was going to be easy for him to get elected as mayor of the city, even though he was a minority. As the election day was getting closer, and it was becoming clearer and clearer that Oyemade’s party was going to win the election, Oyemade started getting strange invitations from people he never knew existed. Because the mayoral seat in his city was very important (his city was so strategic and important), everyone was interested in who sat on that seat. Oyemade started getting veiled threats. He started getting invitations to join “powerful” secret societies. One of his closest allies told him that “boss if you don’t join them, they won’t let you win this election”. The aspiration for such a great political office made it clearer to Oyemade and his brethren that indeed, the systems of this current world are ruled by Satan the prince of this world (see John 14:30, 1 John 5:19, Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 4:4). In this current world order, if you go high enough in most systems, you would interface with the devil. He is the ruler of this present world. The only people that can truly contend his authority on this earth are the sons of God: believers in Christ Jesus who are no longer [spiritual] babes but sons. They can contend territorial authority out of the hand of the prince of this world because their Lord has received ‘all authority in heaven and on earth’ (see Matthew 28:18). This current world system is under the subjection of angels. The prince of this world (Satan) is an angel (a fallen angel), and so are his principalities that rule territories in this present world. But from today’s verse, we see that this will not be the case in the world to come. One very important component of the gospel message we preach is the second coming of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, and the coming rule and reign of Christ (with the saints) over the earth, and over all things (see 1 Corinthians 15, 6:1-3, Philippians 3:20, Revelations 21:7). This current world system is in its last days (see Hebrews 1:1-2, Acts 2:17). The devil knows that his time is short and that all authority has now been given to Jesus who will return and take over the governments of this earth, so he is more desperate than ever. The kingdom of this world will literally become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ, and we [His saints] shall reign on the earth (Revelation 5:10, 11:15, 20:4). Go into today remembering that the world [order] to come will not be under the subjection of angels but under the subjection of man, ruled by the man Jesus Christ. With this sure expectation in your heart, walk in this present world with the authority of Christ and remember to lay for yourself treasure that will have value in the worlds to come (Matthew 6:19-21). Prayer: Lord, help me walk in the fullness of your plan for my life. Deliver me from the distractions of this present world that is passing away and help me fulfill your plan for my life.

What the Gospel Does

Broadcast 4085 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4085 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4085 Hebrews 2:3-4 (NKJV) how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will? Suzanne had a hard time discerning false prophets from true ones. She observed that some of the false prophets had become very smart by embracing ‘holiness’ doctrines. But she had a personal encounter with one of such holiness preachers and realized he was as greedy and filthy as the rest. She also realized that most of the false prophets were not interested in winning souls for the Lord, they were only interested in the money. We can see from today’s Bible verses that salvation was first preached by the Lord Jesus Himself, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him (His disciples who echoed His gospel). In Matthew 9:35 and Luke 8:1, we see that the Lord Jesus went to different towns and villages teaching and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. We also see that His disciples did the same. Many wonder what gospel message Jesus and the Apostles preached since Jesus was not yet crucified? Well, Jesus preached the message of salvation. What makes a person receive eternal salvation is believing that Jesus is Lord (the Christ of God, the Messiah). Even before Jesus died on the cross, people were being saved through believing in Him. We see in Luke 19:9 that Jesus said salvation had come to the house of Zacchaeus [because he believed in Him]. Before and after His death and resurrection, believing that Jesus is Lord was the key to salvation. The resurrection was God’s token proof that Jesus is Lord. The Jews crucified Him because He said He was the Christ (the Son of God, the King of the Jews). But God raised Him up on the third day as proof that He is indeed the Christ (Lord, Anointed One, the Messiah). The gospel we preach today now includes this vital truth—that God raised Jesus from the dead (see Romans 10:9). In John 4, we are given a rare peek into the content of the gospel message that Jesus preached while He walked the streets of Israel. We see Jesus preaching to the Samaritan woman, and their conversation headed up to Him revealing to her that He is the Messiah (see John 4:25-26). The woman believed in Him and even invited others to come and see the Christ (see John 4:29). Whether then, or when the Apostles preached, or today, the gospel message has been about bringing people to receive the Lordship of Christ Jesus. People who receive the gospel live under the Lordship of Christ. That’s why they repent of their old ways that do not align with life under Christ’s government. Go into today remembering that God confirms His gospel with signs and wonders, miracles and gifts of the Spirit. The next time you want to discern whether a prophet is false or not, look at the fruits of his ministry (Matthew 7:16). Is he raising people whose allegiance is to Christ (this shows by their lives of submission to the Lordship of Christ) or is he raising people whose true allegiance is to him and to mammon? Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me be a true minister of Your salvation. Stretch out Your hand to confirm Your word in my life with signs and wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi   If you wish to start receiving Streamglobe Devotional early every day, join our WhatsApp channel through this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LFbRirvMpPC1KmzfDpr0bO   Bible In 1 Year: I Kings 10-13 (in today’s audio)   Streamglobe is interdenominational.

The Supernatural Dimension

Broadcast 4083 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4083 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4083 1 Corinthians 12:1 (WEB) Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant. Dean had become a grandmaster in the occult. He gave himself so much to the occult because he wanted power. He thought he had power until one prayerful widow moved next door to him within the same apartment. This woman had more power than Dean had ever seen. She was a real prayer warrior. Many times she prayed in the night, and Dean saw strange things like powerful angels whose presence terrified the demons that normally empowered him. Because she was his next-door neighbor and her presence and prayers kept terrifying and subduing him, he eventually surrendered to Christ because of her influence. This woman could lead Dean to the Lord and effectively disciple him because she was not ignorant concerning the things of the spirit and the supernatural dimension of the faith. The first night she slept in that apartment, she discerned who Dean was in the spirit, and from then on she intentionally demobilized him spiritually. That was what ultimately led him to salvation. She would have never been able to lead a man like Dean to the Lord if she was not exposed to the supernatural and prophetic dimension of her walk with the Lord. Revelations, spiritual gifts, angelic encounters, etc., were not strange to her. Go into today remembering that you are more effective in life and ministry when you are not ignorant concerning spiritual things. Prayer: Ask the Lord to guide you into all truth so that you may experience the supernatural and power dimension of His kingdom. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi If you wish to start receiving Streamglobe Devotional early every day, join our WhatsApp channel through this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LFbRirvMpPC1KmzfDpr0bO Bible In 1 Year: Ephesians 1-3 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Praying the Will of God

Broadcast 4082 Listen to today’s audio: streamglobe.org/aud4082 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4082 1 John 5:14 (ESV) And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. Praise was discipled by Precious and they became very close. As time passed, Praise observed that whenever Precious prayed, she received answers. Unlike her, Precious did not have to pray and fast all the time to solve a problem. She simply mentioned it to her Heavenly Father or would speak to the situation, and she always got results. When she asked Precious for the secret to this success in prayers, Precious responded: “I have learned to know and pray the will of God.” The effectiveness of prayer is not always in how long we pray, it is not even in how pressing the need is, nor is it in how sincerely we are asking. Prayer becomes effective when God’s will [that we know] becomes the basis of our prayer. Note that His will is expressed in His word. All that you will ever need was known to God, provided by Him, and packaged in His will long before your arrival (birth) here on earth. Not living the will of God is living a failure. Jesus taught us to pray that “your (God) will be done on earth as it is in heaven.“ This should be the fulcrum of all our prayers. That was how Jesus prayed (see Matt 26:39). Go into today determined to spend your time and energy seeking to always walk in God’s will. I recommend that you read the devotionals titled ‘Discerning the Will of God’ again. Find out what God already said concerning your needs and ask God from that standpoint. I guarantee you will become more effective. Prayer: Father, help me always walk in Your will.

The Blessed Hope 4

Broadcast 4081 Hear today’s audio here: streamglobe.org/aud4081 Watch today’s Vidoe: streamglobe.org/vid4081 Titus 2:11-13 (NET) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, as we wait for the happy fulfillment of our hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. After Byrum believed in the Lord Jesus, he was baptized in the Holy Ghost, and as a result, was empowered by the Spirit to overcome his addictions and live a godly life. This happened because he submitted to the instructions of righteousness given to him by his pastor. He had to change his apartment because his neighbor was his drug dealer, he had to leave his old friends and totally disconnect from his old way of living. He was filled with the Spirit and was taught to stay filled. In this way, his body was empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11) and he could cope with the withdrawal from the drugs. He spent a lot of time praying and singing in the Spirit because he needed to stay filled with the Spirit. The infilling of the Holy Spirit affects even our mortal bodies. One of the things the grace of God would teach us is that “bad company corrupts good character” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Those who are taught by grace become very particular about the company they keep. They guard their hearts with all diligence by guarding the information they feed into it. We saw yesterday that the grace of God trains us or teaches us how to reject ungodly ways and fleshly lusts. There are very practical things we must be willing to do in keeping with the teaching of grace. We must be willing to forsake our worldly ways and deny the flesh. Go into today remembering that as a student of grace, you have to be willing to obey the demands of God’s kingdom for your life. This is the only way to allow the divine life to excel over the old life. Prayer: Heavenly Father, please lead me to your green pastures and help me be fed and led by your living word. Help me to live a godly and fruitful life. In Jesus’ name. Amen. —Abraham Damilola Arigi If you wish to start receiving Streamglobe Devotional early every day, join our WhatsApp channel through this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LFbRirvMpPC1KmzfDpr0bO Bible In 1 Year: Lamentations 1-5 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.
