What grieved Zara most was the time she wasted in that fellowship. She reckoned that she would have been a spiritual giant if she had not wasted that time believing empty and powerless doctrines based on human logic and not the word of Christ. Oh, she wept! We saw yesterday that one attribute of false teachers is that they downplay the words of Christ (1 Tim 6:3). One place you will find the words of Christ is in the New Testament part of your Bible. Many Bibles have the words of Christ written in red. These words were what the apostles taught those who first believed. Today, the devil is trying very hard to make Christians depart from these words. I have heard that some churches even now say that the words of Christ in the book of Revelation cannot be applied to the Christian because it is too metaphorical. They are not comfortable with the words of Christ because Christ warned his disciples about going to hell if they keep on sinning (Matt 5:22, 29), and it is clear that Christ does not believe their ‘once saved always saved’ doctrine. He said He would spill some believers out of His mouth because they were lukewarm (Rev 3:16), and He kept warning erring believers to repent (Rev 3:3, Rev 2:5, 16). They do not like the words of Christ because it does not fit into their false narrative of the gospel. As you go into today, pray for the Church in your territory. Ask the Lord to deliver His people from delusion. Pray for yourself also. -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Genesis 12-15 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

Psalm 119:98 “Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for your commands are my constant guide.” Bless the name of the Lord for the wisdom in His word.

Pray that the Lord will guide you to be where He wants you to be at the right time. Ask for a heart that will not struggle with the Lord, but a heart that will obey any personal instructions from the Lord to you.

Because they found that the teaching of Christ in the four gospels did not correspond with their doctrines, they insisted that the teachings of Christ are not relevant to the church. That Jesus taught those under the law, and what He taught was not meant for the Christian. We have established earlier that even though the believer is not under the 613 laws of Moses, nor is he under the Ten Commandments, the believer is under the law of Christ. Of the Ten Commandments, Jesus reiterated nine (leaving out the Sabbath). He also gave certain other specific instructions that were not captured in the Law of Moses. For example, He gave us new commandments concerning marriage and divorce, anxiety, retribution, prayer, and fasting, etc. These instructions (and many others) for the believer are what we call THE LAW OF CHRIST. They are centered on love for God and love for neighbor. You can find some of these instructions in Matthews 5-7. These were the commandments that Jesus was referring to when he said those who broke the least of them would be called least in the kingdom (see Matt 5:19). As Paul reveals in 1 Cor 9:20-21: ‘to those under the law, I became as one under the law (indicating that he was not under the law)…, and to those without law (Gentiles), I became as one without law, even though I am not without God’s law, but under the LAW OF CHRIST’, we are not under the Law of Moses as Christians, but we are under the LAW OF CHRIST (see Gal 6:2). Go into today remembering that any teaching which undermines the commandments of Christ in any way is a false teaching (see 1 Tim 6:3-4). Run away from such. -SD Abraham Yearly Bible Reading: Romans 7-8 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

THE LAW OF CHRIST 7(full)
1 Timothy 6:3 (NET) If someone spreads false teachings and does not agree with sound words (that is, THOSE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST) and with the teaching that accords with godliness… When Zara attended that fellowship that led to her spiritual impoverishment, there were many false things they taught. Because they found that the teaching of Christ in the four gospels did not correspond with their doctrines, they insisted that the teachings of Christ are not relevant to the church. That Jesus taught those under the law, and what He taught was not meant for the Christian. We have established earlier that even though the believer is not under the 613 laws of Moses, nor is he under the Ten Commandments, the believer is under the law of Christ. Of the Ten Commandments, Jesus reiterated nine (leaving out the Sabbath). He also gave certain other specific instructions that were not captured in the Law of Moses. For example, He gave us new commands concerning marriage and divorce, anxiety, retribution, concerning our prayers and fasting, etc. These instructions (and many others) for the believer are what we call THE LAW OF CHRIST. They are centered on love for God and love for neighbor. You can find some of these instructions in Matthews 5-7. These were the commandments that Jesus was referring to when he said those who broke the least of them would be called least in the kingdom (see Matt 5:19). It Is important to note that apart from the nine out of the ten commandments, and the other instruction Jesus gave, Jesus did not bother reiterating the other laws of the old testament, and thus, we are not bound by any of them. Christ is our Lord and we bound to obey His every word and instruction. The teachings of the 12 Apostles and Paul were all centered on the words of Christ. They went everywhere teaching the Christians all that the Lord had commanded them (see Matt 28:19-20). It was easy for them as Jews to ignore the many laws of Moses because the Lord did not command them to keep them. But they never ignored even what looked like the least of the Lord’s commandment. Many of them were killed because they simply would not deny the Lord before men and preserve their lives. They simply wouldn’t disobey an instruction from the Lord that said ‘if you deny me before men, I will deny you… ’. It is worthy of note that this commandment was reiterated by the Apostles to the early church. Paul repeated it in 2Tim 2:12. As Paul reveals in 1 Cor 9:20-21: ‘to those under the law, I became as one under the law (indicating that he was not under the law)…, and to those without law (Gentiles), I became as one without law, even though I am not without God’s law, but under the LAW OF CHRIST’, we are not under the Law of Moses as Christians, but we are under the LAW OF CHRIST (see Gal 6:2). Go into today remembering that any teaching which undermines the commandments of Christ in any way is a false teaching (see 1 Tim 6:3-4). Run away from such.

Psalm 119:93 “I will never forget your commandments, for you have used them to restore my joy and health.” Thank God for the restoration power in His word. Have you lost your joy or has it diminished? Ask that the Lord will bring a restoration through His word. Pray for a restoration of health for yourself or anyone you know who is sick right now. Declare that as you commit yourself wholly to the Lord and His word that you will walk in divine health. Receive from the Lord grace to read, study and meditate on His word so that you won’t forget.
GOD’S PRODUCTION LINE

Manufacturing processes are steps through which raw materials are transformed into a final product. The joy of a manufacturer is when he sees the finished goods meeting the standard both in quality and quantity. In order for him to achieve this, errors and stops in the transformation process must be eliminated as every step is essential to the realization of the finished product. In a nutshell, that is the natural manufacturing process of earthly things. However, spiritually, God’s manufacturing processes are steps through which smaller raw materials are transformed into a far greater final product. It is such an incredible contrast to the natural process which goes from the big to the small (Matthew 13:31-32). From our verse of scripture, God’s Production line involves: 1. Looking up to God in acknowledgment as our source (Proverbs 3:5-6, John 15:5b, James 1:17-18). 2. Thanking God for all He has provided including salvation, healing, blessings, etc. (Psalm 67:5-6, Ephesians 1:3, 1Thessalonians 5:18). 3. Making oneself useful in God’s hands by brokenness, humility, self-denial, contrite heart, sacrifice, etc. (Psalm 51:17, Isaiah 66:2, Matthew 5:3-6, John 15:2, 2Timothy 2:21). 4. Showing love to God and spreading the love of God to others through cheerful giving, sowing, stewardship, etc. (Genesis 8:22, Ecclesiastes 11:1-4, Romans 12:1, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7) If the practice of each of these individual processes results in an increase in the life of a believer, how much more productive would their collective and unbroken chain of transformation yield? Go into today asking the Lord to make you a more productive (fruitful) believer. -Chibo E.C.

She couldn’t meet up with the admission acceptance deadline because she couldn’t raise the money needed. She cried and cried. But she was comforted by the Holy Spirit. One scripture the Holy Spirit used to comfort her was ‘all things work together for good…’ Because she believed this truth of God’s word, it eventually became her reality. By the time she wrote the university entrance exams the next year, she had grown greatly in her knowledge of the Lord. She performed so well in the exams that she got a full scholarship for her undergraduate program at the university. Added to that, she got to study a much better course than the one she was first offered. After all of these had happened, she thanked God that she missed her first admission and got this one. She also thanked the Lord that she dared to believe His word. Somehow, she knew things wouldn’t have worked out the way they did if she didn’t believe God’s word that all things were walking together for her good. Many believers do not walk in the reality of many of God’s promises because they simply do not believe those promises. Before a promise of God can be fulfilled in your life, you have to believe it and continue believing it. Go into today remembering and confessing God’s promises concerning your life. Believe them by expecting to see them manifest in your life. Remember that all the promises of God are yea and amen for those in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 1:20). -SD Abraham Yearly Bible Reading: Isaiah 12-17 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.
