If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith. Mayowa believed that God had called him to be a prophet because he had prophetic gifts. As he became closer to the Lord, it became clearer to him that he was not called to the pulpit, but to use his anointing in the marketplace and represent Christ there. He was a businessman, and he would use his prophetic grace to understand business trends and patterns. He would attend business meetings with people deeply involved in the occult, but they would not be able to subdue him. In a matter of six years, he dominated his industry. And this was because of the grace of God upon his life. The Lord made him very great because the Lord wanted him to become a policymaker in his country through his business influence. Politicians would seek his consent before making certain decisions in the land because of his influence. One big mistake believers make is thinking that the anointing of God upon their lives is strictly meant for Church ministry. Daniel got to the point he got to in government because of the anointing of God upon his life. Jacob became a successful businessman because of the anointing of God upon his life (Gen 31:10-11). David was a successful king who never lost a war because of the anointing of God upon his life. Joseph ascended to the highest office in the land because of the anointing. Go into today remembering that as believers, we are agents for the advancement of God’s kingdom wherever He has placed us. It is time for us to start taking advantage of the anointing of God in every area and conquering territories for God. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you always represent Him well. -Pastor SD Abraham Yearly Bible Reading: Joshua 21-24 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

THE MINISTRY OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1537 Romans 15:5 NIVMay the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had Marathon races are a test of endurance. Due to their long distance requirement, they are run on roads. Unlike races in the stadium, their participants or marathoners are in close proximity to the spectators and can interact with them. Apart from being cheered on by the spectators, they also receive on numerous occasions among other things, water-soaked sponges and cups of liquid refreshments for their encouragement, till they reach the finish line. From our Bible text, God Himself heads the Ministry of Encouragement as the Chief Encourager. He doesn’t just stand at the finish line to receive us, but runs alongside us throughout our Christian race, urging and supplying us with all the grace needed for us to finish strong. He encourages us mainly through the pure, cleansing and refreshing water of His Word (Romans 15:4, Ephesians 5:26). God desires our active involvement in this special ministry just like Barnabas in the Bible who lived out his own name, meaning ‘Son of Encouragement’ (Acts 4:36) by the sale of his landed property to support the church (Acts 4:37), mediating the acceptance of Paul (a former persecutor of believers), (Acts 9:26-27) and spurring the growth of the Gentile church (Acts 11:22-24). We, in turn, must also encourage others who are becoming weak in life’s race just as Christ has done for us (Romans 15:1-3). Go into today, always ready to be an encouragement to those who are down and weak, through kind words and actions. Truly, it has its rewards (Galatians 6:9-10). -Chibo E.C.

THE ROD OF GOD

One of the shepherd’s most important items is his rod. Though ordinary, he uses it quite efficiently to lead and control his flock, protect himself and his flock from thieves or wild animals, leans on it for support when tired, etc. It is somewhat inseparable to the identity of a shepherd and so most times he depends on it for survival. In life, there are things which represent the shepherd’s rod to us. It could be race, family, wealth, nationality, education, creed, talents, cultural heritage, etc. Many, unfortunately, attach too much importance to these things that they miss their true purpose. Even if one is favored by all of these things, a life without Jesus is ultimately a life of unfulfilled potential. Looking at the life of Moses in Exodus 4:2, the rod, he held was initially an ordinary stick, but in verse 20, after casting it down in obedience to God, it became ‘The rod of God’. Through it, Moses performed great miracles (see Exodus 14:16, 21-28). As believers, we mustn’t hold back from God certain aspects of our lives. Everything we have must be cast down on God’s altar of sacrifice first, and then afterward, God through those things committed to Him can use us for His mighty works. Like Goliath discovered in 1Samuel 17:43-51, the kingdom of darkness is always defeated by the believer who carries in him Christ (the rod of God (Isaiah 11:1-10)) and who through Him has become God’s war hammer (Jeremiah 51:20-23). He will not fear or be intimidated by one who carries an ordinary stick! Go into today walking in victory over all of life’s challenging and death valleys (Psalm 23:4) because you carry the rod of God. -Chibo E.C.

I once had a conversation with a young man who had listened to me minister the word. He really felt like he needed to commit his life to serving the Lord. But I observed that the only way he thought a person could serve the Lord was to hold a microphone and preach or teach from a pulpit. I was surprised. I had to start explaining to him that he could serve the Lord without being a church minister from the pulpit, that most believers have been ordained to Minister God from a platform in the world and not from a pulpit in the church. Ananias whom the Lord sent to lay hands on Saul and open his eyes was not even an elder or a deacon at the time (see Acts 9:10-19). Priscilla and Aquila were business people (Acts 18:1-3). But today, many people with the anointing of God upon their lives believe that the anointing has to mean that they are ministers in the church. As anointed as David was, he knew he was not an itinerant prophet like Isaiah or Jeremiah. He knew his ministry in life was to be a king. Daniel, Nehemiah, Joseph and even father Abraham were not full-time prophets or preachers, they were doing what today’s Christians would call ‘circular’ jobs and businesses. They were in government and in business, yet were as anointed as they could be. Go into today remembering that you are the light of the world, not just the light of the church. -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Matthew 8-10 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

DEAD TO SIN, ALIVE UNTO GOD

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/5gUKj6Dowqe6oWGGaWme8O Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1534 Romans 6:11 KJVLikewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. A man driving stopped to pick up a female hitchhiker who he felt was in need of a ride. Having noted her extreme modesty in dressing, he dismissed any fear of temptation. In a twist, it turned out that this lady was actually a seductress in disguise, and soon she began to touch him. Immediately, the man began to laugh and ominously declared “You’re touching a dead man”. The lady now looked confused, and seeing that the man went on to say “Now I’m taking you to where I died and was buried”, in horror she began to beg, had the car stopped, and jumped out. Unknown to this lady, the man was a pastor on his way to the church where he got saved and baptized, which he now refers to as his burial ground! Fighting on Satan’s turf and hoping to win is spiritual suicide. He is a master of the fleshly realm and as long as our flesh remains alive and responsive, we are in danger of falling. Our only way out is us dying daily to the flesh through the Word and by the help of the Holy Spirit (See Luke 9:23, Romans 8:13). Our daily confession must become “I am dead to sin and alive unto God” Friends, we are warned to always be alert to Satan’s deceptions. What may seem harmless or look innocent, might just be the devil’s trap or agent (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). However, just as a dead man doesn’t respond to people, environment or any stimulus, we also must become dead to the flesh and its sinful affections (Galatians 5:24). Go into today knowing that you’re alive and victorious in Christ and that sin should have no dominion over you (Roman 6:14).-Chibo E.C.

He himself will be saved, but only as through fire. For too long many believers have believed that the only effective way to serve God is through the ‘pulpit ministry’ of ministering the word and power of God to the Church. It became that whenever a person really wanted to serve the Lord, he believed that he had to be involved one way or another in teaching the word of God to the church. This wrong understanding has created a philosophy that assumes that everyone who is serving the Lord has to become a pastor. But this is not true. The Lord warns in James 3:1 that ‘Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers IN THE CHURCH, for we who teach will be judged more strictly’. It is only those who without doubt have been appointed by God for this work, those that would be judged if they do not teach, that should teach. You may ask ‘how do I know whether or not I’m to teach the church?’ If you are walking in fellowship with God and growing, necessity will be laid on you to teach if you are to teach (not that it will be one of the many options). See 1 Cor 9:16. The words will be like fire in your bones if you do not teach and minister (see Jer 20:9). If you are not walking with the Lord and growing, you will not know whether or not you are to teach the church. The biggest hindrance to walking with God and growing is rebellion and/or willful disobedience to the commands of Christ. Go into today remembering that everyone is building something that will be tested by the Lord on that day. Whether you have been called to minister to the Church or not, you are a minister of God to your world. Ask the Lord to help you be a faithful minister. -Pastor SD Abraham Yearly Bible Reading: Psalms 9-11 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

SPIRITUAL OVERWEIGHT & OBESITY

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index used for categorizing people as underweight, normal, overweight or obese. At the spectrum end is the overweight/obese category. These have a high risk of suffering or in worse cases, dying from deadly diseases such as type 2 diabetes, stroke, hypertension, cancer, etc. In the light of these risks, a lifestyle change is a must in feeding, physical and emotional habits. The overweight/obese category is more of what we see today in Christendom. Its signs include dull hearing of God’s word (Hebrews 5:11), idle works (2Thessalonians 3:11), no understanding of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7), prayerlessness, carnal mindedness, lack of self-control (1Corinthians 6:12), etc. With these and more, people have become liabilities (Philippians 3:18-19). Hearing God’s word repeatedly without ever working it, and as such depriving those who otherwise should have benefitted from you is wrong and spiritually insensitive (Hebrews 5:12). Using James 1:22-25 for emphasis, it’s most likely that the spiritually out of shape believer won’t like what he sees when he looks at himself through the mirror of God’s word. If that is the case, then drastic measures are needed. We are not called to be hearers only, but to be doers of the Word till we come to full maturity (Ephesians 4:11-14). The mature believer is a spiritual heavyweight who by discipline, building and exercising of his spiritual muscles in Word, meditation, study, praying in the Spirit, fasting, worship, and stewardship, has honed his skills over time and now has the strength to withstand the adversary (Ref Hebrews 5:14, 1Corinthians 9:26-27, 2Timothy 2:15, Daniel 11:32, Jude 1:20, Ephesians 3:16). Become spiritually strong today by working out and exercising the authority of the Word and relying on the Holy Spirit as your instructor. -Chibo E.C.

SPIRITUAL UNDERWEIGHT

Those classified as underweight (less than 18.5) on this index, have low body mass and risk suffering or in worse cases, dying from malnutrition and other low immune system related diseases. Medical advice must be consulted to bring about a healthy change. Spiritual underweights are those who are spiritually malnourished (Hosea 4:6). They’re without strength and are too weak to withstand life’s trials (Proverbs 24:10). They exhibit an anorexic attitude to God’s Word and because of this are unstable and are still dominated by the sinful nature. This anorexic attitude to the Word (Mark 4:15) as well as the inability to be planted where its truths are genuinely practiced makes for an open invitation to the wily attacks of the devil. It is an immune system (Ephesians 6:16) deficient state as its defense promoter in the Word of God is lacking (Romans 10:17). From our verse of scripture, we are expected to grow (in grace and in the knowledge of Christ – 2Peter 3:18) and this growth starts first with our DESIRE for the Word of God. The more we desire and feed on God’s word, the more we prosper in life (Joshua 1:8), are resistant to sin (Psalm 119:11), are fruitful (Mark 4:20), are able to discern Satan’s lies (John 10:4-5), are emotionally stabilized (Psalm 19:7, James 1:20-21) and are ultimately healthy (Proverbs 4:20-21). Begin a new, fitter and healthier spiritual lifestyle today by living and feeding on the Word of God. Prayer: Father I receive Your grace today to help me receive, retain and reproduce good fruits in and through Your Word in Jesus Name. -Chibo E.C.
