The text above clearly refutes that erroneous and false teaching. Have you noticed that even though we are asked to resist the devil (James 4:7), and to take our stand against principalities and powers (Eph 6:12-18), we are asked to flee fornication/sexual sins? It should interest you to know that when we resist the devil he flees away from us, but we are the ones charged to flee from this work of the flesh. But what exactly is fornication you might ask. The word fornication is translated in the New Testament mostly from the Greek word porneia. It refers to illicit sexual intercourse, such as adultery, sexual intercourse between two unmarried people, homosexuality, lesbianism, and intercourse with animals. Some Bible versions simply call it sexual immorality. What’s more, the New Testament is replete with warnings/instructions concerning this. Here are some of them: Acts 15:20 & 29 says to abstain from fornication, 1 Corinthians 5:9 says to keep no company with a fornicator, 1 Corinthians 6:18 says to flee fornication, 1 Corinthians 10:8 says to ‘neither let us commit adultery’, Ephesians 5:3 says let it not once be named among us believers, Colossians 3:5 (TLB) says to have nothing to do with sexual sins, 1 Thessalonians 4:3 charges us to abstain from fornication, and 2 Timothy 2:22 says to flee youthful lusts. Go into today armed with the understanding that it is God’s will for you to abstain from sexual sins. -Ikechukwu Mpama Not yet saved?

CONTINUING IN CHRIST 2

One way Bimpe knew she was falling spiritually was that she could no longer pray the way she always prayed. She also observed that she no longer had the strength to do the spiritual things she used to do before. She used to be very committed to evangelism and follow up. There were certain young girls she used to actively pray for and follow up, but she found that she now considered all these an unbearable burden. Added to this, something happened that showed her how spiritually impoverished she had become. She was confronted by a colleague who was involved in the occult, and she found that she was deeply afraid of his threats because there was no more power in her spirit. This was unthinkable when she was still in the country. Such people feared her and some of them became her converts. Bimpe also observed that new temptations and lusts started becoming stronger and stronger in her heart. This was when she knew she had to take decisive action. She left that new church and took out some time to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting. She made up her mind that the demonic powers and rulers in the city would not reduce her to a loaf of bread. She went back to her old sermon notes and revised her understanding of the kingdom of God the way she once and for all received it. This was how she was saved from the corruption of that city that had reduced many believers to spiritually powerless noisemakers. Go into today asking the Lord to deliver you from everything that seeks to reduce you and render you fruitless in your pursuit of the knowledge of God (see 2 Pet 1:8). -SD Abraham Not yet saved?

Before she got to the city, she had received Christ as her Lord and Savior and was growing and having a very fruitful walk with the Lord. But as she started attending this new church, she realized that what they were teaching was different from what she had always known about Christ and His kingdom. It sounded really exciting and comforting to the flesh, but she was not comfortable because these teachings were contrary to the ones that got her saved and established in Christ. After experiencing serious leanness in her soul because she started following these doctrines, it was clear to her that she was now following the wrong teachers. Colossians 2:8 (KJV) says: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. This is becoming increasingly popular today. Many people have been deceived by doctrines based on human philosophy and tradition. Their understanding of God’s kingdom has been shaped by human tradition. They forget that God’s ways are not man’s ways (Isaiah 55:8). For example, what good father would allow his only son to suffer and die the way Jesus did? Using human logic and tradition, it would be difficult to believe in the divinity and sacrifice of Jesus. Those who try to use human logic and traditions to understand the kingdom of God will end up in very serious errors. Go into today remembering that you are to continue in Christ the way you received him. Avoid new ‘highly logical’ doctrines that contradict the foundational teachings that established you in the faith. -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Isaiah 34-39 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

THE POTTER’S WHEEL
Join Our WhatsApp Group to Start Getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio Every Day. Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1554 Jeremiah 18:3-4 KJVThen I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. [4] And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Most potters feel they intimately exude the creative nature of God by their pottery work and this feeling gets amplified as they feel the earthy grains while transforming them into a masterpiece. The potter’s wheel is where the potter’s will for the clay gets implemented, by it rotating to 1) Get the clay perfectly shaped. 2) Trim excess body from the worked clay. 3) Apply incised and intricate decorations or rings of color to beautify the clay. Very important from our scriptural reference is the fact that God is the Potter and before we can as clay to be used or made into a valuable vessel by Him, we must first accept that we have been irredeemably “marred” by sin and therefore cannot fix ourselves unless we are made new. Knowing and accepting this truth about our helpless state in sin and God’s great act of love to pick us up from its decay is the first step to our being molded into a masterpiece (Read Eph 2:1-10). The Word of God is the Potter’s wheel which He used in creating everything (Heb 11:3) and it is His Will that we continuously go through cycles of brokenness alongside newer levels of obedience till we are perfectly shaped (Isa 66:2, Rom 12:2), trimmed, purged or cleansed to be more fruitful . Submit today to the Wheel of God’s Word and be guaranteed that His hand will always be upon you even now and until eternity for your good (Ps 16:9-11). -Chibo E.C.

THE FIGHT OF FAITH 4

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1553 Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Before Diego received Christ as his Lord and Savior, he was a very morally upright person. He was known everywhere to be a person of great integrity. He was more morally upright than many Christians he knew, so he didn’t think he needed their salvation to make him righteous. But in his heart he longed for God and knew he was not right with God. He desired to be close to God, but he knew he was not. When he received Christ as [his] Lord and Savior, it became clear to him that he was made righteous because of his faith in the Lord Jesus. Without this faith, no matter how morally upright he was, he could not please God. It is good to be morally upright, and faith in Christ produces a life that is morally upright. Daniel was highly esteemed in heaven (Dan 10:11); he lived a life guided by the fear of the Lord. Cornelius attracted the attention of heaven because of this same reason (Acts 10:1-4). But morality is not what saves a person. Faith in Christ is what saves a person. But we know that true faith in Christ produces a life that is morally upright. Because we are not of this world, Satan the prince of this world would fight us and try to overthrow us. But he can only succeed if we let our faith falter by constantly doing things that violate our consciences, or suffocate our faith by being unequally yoked together with unbelievers (see 1 Tim 1:19, 2 Cor 6:14). Go into today remembering that every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith (1 John 5:4-NLT). -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Psalms 18-20 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

UTILIZING OUR DIVINE ACCESS

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1552 Hebrews 10:19-20 (NIV) Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, While growing up, my siblings and I had beds in our room, but our last born (who was known as the baby of the house) slept in our parents room on their bed many times . She was with us many times we talked about the things we desired but were scared to ask our parents for. However, in shock amazement, we would discover that our father has heard and has gone on to get us those things we desired, but would afterwards scold us for not coming directly to him with our requests. Looking back now, I have come to understand that though we all children, it was only our little sister that really knew how to approach, ask and receive from our parents because being in their presence more often made her bold, which in turn gave her access to whatever she wanted. Many feel that God is partial and that He has blessed some more than others. This couldn’t be more far from the truth. In reality, we all have been granted access to the Most High and so what we are now able to obtain largely depends on our attitude. You see, of those who access and receive eternal benefits from the Most Holy Place (Ps 16:11), the Bible didn’t say that they will “occasionally visit” this secret place but it says “Whoever dwells in the secret place of the Most High” (Ps 91:1), meaning that they permanently reside there. Go into today knowing that in Christ, you have access to all that pertains your well being as you continue to seek and dwell in His Word (2 Pet 1:3). -Chibo E.C.

MINISTERS OF LIFE
Join Our WhatsApp Group to Start Getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio Every Day. Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1551 2 Corinthians 3:6 KJV Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. At exactly when a hardened criminal was to be executed by lethal injection for murder, a nurse was helping to deliver a mother of her baby. While the criminal’s last moments were that of shame, fear, and regret, that of the new mum and her baby were of joy, freedom, and relief. These two scenarios are paradoxical. The former adheres to the strict penalty of the law while the latter displays a gentle care to help preserve life. God’s Word ministers life to those who believe but carries a sentence on those who rebel or try to approach Him by following rules. When God’s Word, then written in stone tablets, was first given, about three thousand persons died in judgment that day (Exo 32:19-28). But on the day of Pentecost with God’s Word now written in the hearts of men, about three thousand persons were saved instead (Acts 2:36-41). The reason for the latter outcome was the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to make the apostles ministers of life. Since based on our new birth in Christ through the Holy Spirit, we are now ministers of life, we would be ruining or issuing death letters instead of life to others if they only hear but see no tangible evidence in our lives or demonstrable proofs of the life we claim to have in Christ (Mtt 5:16, 1Cor 2:1-4; 1Cor 4:18-20) Go into today as a minister of life to others by first receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and yielding yourself totally to His leading (Lk 24:49).-Chibo E.C.

SPEAK AND BE ACQUITTED

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1550 Matthew 12:37 (KJV) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. James and John grew up as friends. James was sly while John was shy and never really spoke much. Each time they got into trouble, it was John who always got punished as James would quickly put the blame on him. Finally, a day came when James got into some serious trouble with the law and as usual, he tried to blame it on John when the police arrived, but this time, something inside of John made him speak out boldly in objection so as to counter and denounce the false accusation made against him by James. Soon, John was freed based on the truthfulness of his statement and that of another fellow who had witnessed the incident and he has since learned a valuable lesson that spoken words are sacrosanct. We have an enemy whose accusations on our lives have real and disastrous consequences and so it is pertinent that we respond to him if we must survive or overcome (Prov 18:21, Isa 54:17, Mk 11:23). When we declare God’s words using “It is written” in our response to Satan’s accusations in form of diseases, lack, disappointments, etc., Jesus who Himself is the presiding Judge, our Lawyer as well as our Evidence (slain Lamb), takes to the witness stand on our behalf in heaven’s courtroom and He by our faithful resolve in confessions, speaks to give us an acquitting verdict (Rev 5: 6-9, Heb 7:25, Rom 8:33-34, Heb 12:22-24). Know today that, “The state of a man’s life is a sum total of the consequences of what he or someone else has been speaking”. Speak, therefore and be acquitted, for the Judge, the Lawyer, the Witness and the Evidence are all in your favor. -Chibo E.C.

THE FIGHT OF FAITH 3

I once had an interaction with a young man, and I noticed that he knew the things of the Lord and seemed to have some spiritual understanding. I wondered why he was living like an unbeliever. I asked him and he replied and said to me ‘I trusted God once but He failed me’. It was clear he was now living a life that was rebellious to God’s authority. I started praying for him since then. He was a casualty of spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare is really about the faith of the believer. It is not about any other mundane thing that may look like the focus of the attack. The devil is not threatened by the amount of money or anything else you can have, but he is threatened by your faith. It is most precious (1 Pet 1:7). When Satan attacked Job’s family, wealth, health, etc. The aim was to get Job to stop trusting in God, and as a result, get him to rebel against God’s authority- curse God and die (Job 2:9). But kept the faith. He said ‘though He slays me, yet I will trust in Him’ (Job 13:15). And at the end, Job overcame. Why does the devil seek to attack believers with setbacks? It is because he wants to get them to the point where they no longer trust in God, and as a result, they rebel against God’s authority. This rebellion manifests in compromises and sins, etc. The way to always overcome is to keep your shield of faith up. That means no matter what, you insist on believing in God and confessing His word concerning your life and situation. As long as the shield of faith is up, the enemy can never overcome you (Eph 6:16). Go into today remembering that every spiritual battle is about your faith first. Keep your faith intact and you will always overcome.-Pastor SD Abraham Not yet saved?

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1548 1 Timothy 1:18-19 (NLT) 18 I put this charge before you, Timothy my child, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, in order that with such encouragement you may fight the good fight. 19 To do this you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith. During the season Ameh was going through a trial of faith, there was a particular period that his faith was really low. During this period he observed that he even started doubting the existence of God, despite all the remarkable acts of God he had experienced in the past. He couldn’t understand this, but all he could do was to continue to pray and dwell on God’s word. Each time he prayed in the spirit, he observed that his faith was boosted a little. He started investigating what was wrong: ‘why this strange drought of faith? ‘ He later found out that it was because, at that time, he allowed a guilty conscience linger. There was something he did that made him feel guilty, and he felt this guilt for a long time without addressing it appropriately. One of the greatest forces against our faith is a guilty conscience. With a guilty conscience, our spirits cannot fellowship with God, and this fellowship is the source of our strength. Those who allow their consciences to be violated for long risk having a shipwreck of faith (see 1 Tim 1:19). One of the major signs that your faith is sinking is that you will begin to doubt the willingness and ability of God to help you. This ultimately leads to doubting the existence of God. Go into today knowing that you are to avoid anything that leads to the constant violating of your conscience. Prayer: ask the Lord to help you always maintain a clear conscience before God and before men (see Acts 24:16) -Pastor SD Abraham Not yet saved?
