The Holy Spirit
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1915 John 14:17 (NET) The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you. Until after Jessica accepted the Lord Jesus, she didn’t understand what people talked about when they talked about the Holy Spirit. But when she accepted the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit became real to her. Before she accepted the Lord Jesus, she was a drug addict, and had gone to rehab three times but always relapsed. But when she knew the Holy Spirit, she found the power to overcome her drug addiction. The devil knows that with the Holy Spirit in our lives he cannot overcome us so he will do everything he can to deceive believers from knowing the person and ministry of the Holy Ghost. Go into today remembering that the power to live a victorious life is supplied by the Holy Ghost you have received if you are a believer. For it is not by power nor by might, but by the spirit of God that we fulfill our eternal destinies on this side of eternity (see Zech 4:6). Prayer: Lord please fill me with the Holy Spirit and help me walk in His power. Amen. âPst. Abraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Self Control
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1914 Galatians 5:22-24 (KJV)But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Judith got angry at the slightest provocation and was known for this by all her friends because once she gets angry theyâll all have to leave her alone. Even though Judith was a believer, she had no control of herself. Her friends left her and anyone who wanted to marry her ran away. She suffered dejection and even considered suicide so many times until she was taught self-control. Iâll define self-control or temperance as your ability to control yourself. Many believers today have lost control or never even gained control of themselves. They are controlled from without by external influences. Insult them and theyâll get angry, give them money and theyâll be happy, but theyâll be sad when they lose money. They really are not the ones controlling themselves but are controlled by external influences. In Genesis 1:28-30 God gave us dominion, in 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 He gave us all things, and in Luke 9:1 God gave us power and authority. Use your dominion and authority to bring all that is within you under the control of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Go into today depending on the Holy Spirit to be self-controlled. âDr. Emmanuel James Streamglobe is nondenominational. Kindly share this Devotional with your contacts and let’s touch lives together.

False Prophets- The Way of Balaam
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1913 2 Peter 2:15 (NET) By forsaking the right path they have gone astray, because they followed the way of Balaam son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness Now there is another category of prophets who started as true servants of the Lord, but along the way, because of mammon, they have ended as enemies of the cross (see Phil 3:18). They can also be classified as false prophets. The first known prophet who entered this kind of error is Balaam. He was a prophet of Almighty God but an enemy of Godâs people brought him money to help place a curse on God’s people. Balaam initially refrained because he understood that it was wrong for him to do such a thing. But because the people who came brought money, Balaam kept asking the Lord to let him go and place a curse on His people, people who like Jethro, Balaam was supposed to be on their side. After trying several times to no avail in cursing God’s people, he gave their enemy a strategy that ultimately worked in getting God’s people to walk in iniquity so that they would be destroyed. Even though he was supposed to be a prophet of God, Balaam worked against God’s kingdom agenda because of money. There are many prophets today who are walking in the same error as Balaam. They have used their spiritual skill and anointing to help the kingdom of darkness (some without knowing it) rather than edify God’s people because they want more money. Many of them have twisted the word of God knowingly just because they want to extract more money from the people. Instead of feeding God’s children with the sincere milk of Godâs word that would help them grow into the stature of Christ, they have fed them with the milk adulterated with worldliness that would keep them as babes who would continue to depend on them and fill their pockets with money. Go into today remembering that you cannot serve God and serve mammon (see Matt 6:24). Any attempt to do the two as a servant of Jesus would lead you into the way of Balaam. Prayer: Lord, please deliver me from walking this evil path and help me depend on you alone. Amen. âAbraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

False Prophets
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1912 Matthew 24:11-12 (KJV)And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. After suffering greatly in the hand of a particular false prophet, Bimbo was now generally cold towards ministers of the gospel and believers. She fell prey to that false prophet because he was claiming to be a genuine man of God who preaches holiness and righteousness, but ultimately was a charlatan used witchcraft to turn people like her into his personal ATM. Because of the things she had experienced, her love for the body of Christ had grown cold. She didn’t trust anybody again and was now closed hearted and tight-fisted towards the work of God. I believe it is no coincidence that after the Lord Jesus talks about many false prophets rising that He informs us that iniquity shall abound. Every church assembly is meant to be the light of its territory(see Rev 1:20, Matt 5:14), but through the invasion of false prophets claiming to be men of God, what is meant to bring territorial light becomes darkness, and if the light [of a territory] becomes darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matt 6:23). One of the most effective ways to identify false prophets is by their fruits in relation to money. They serve mammon and not God. Money is more important to them than the souls of men. What then is the solution?Believers must beware of false prophets (Matt 7:15). Do not follow people because of signs and wonders, but follow them because the words they speak impart life to your righteous spirit (see John 6:63, 68). False prophets can perform lying wonders and magic, but cannot impart the life of the Holy Spirit into their words. Go into today remembering that it is not a light thing before the Lord for the love of a believer to wax cold. The Lordâs first letter to the Churches makes this clear (see Rev 2:4-5). Prayer focus:Revelation 2:5 (KJV) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. âAbraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Edification of the Church
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1911 1 Corinthians 14:26 (NET) What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church. One of the biggest hindrances to the edification of the church by people with [spiritual] gifts has been the quest for self-glorification rather than the edification of the church. You cannot do both. Many church assemblies today have structures that make it impossible for those who are not ‘ordained ministers’ to minister to God’s people (this is not God’s ideal). One of the reasons for this is because the only people they are sure might be truly born again and qualified to minister to God’s people are the ordained ministers. This in itself is an indictment on the quality of work done to raise true disciples in such assemblies. We can see from today’s Bible verse that it is expected for believers to be a blessing to each other when they come to church gatherings. They are not only expected to minister their material resources but are expected to minister spiritual substance to each other. This is one way believers grow. But this is only possible when the focus of churches go from raising children who believe their main contribution to the work of God is financial to raising sons who know that it is an aberration for them to remain spiritual babies. Doctrine makes disciples. The teaching people receive would go a long way in determining the quality of believers they would be– whether they would remain spiritual babies or grow into maturity. Go into today remembering that God expects you to be a blessing to His people through your gifts rightly dispensed in maturity. Remember that spiritual maturity is a function of the doctrines you continually receive. It is time to stop feeding on baby food(doctrines) and become the great spiritual giant God has destined you to be. Prayer: Lord, please help me continually grow into the fullness of your stature(Ephesians 4:13-14) âAbraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Manner of Thinking
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1910 1 Corinthians 14:20 (NET) Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. Aku grew up among some of the most cunning and dishonest people, so this made him very suspicious and untrusting. This affected his relationships with his friends even after he became a believer, and this even affected his relationship with his wife because he was too suspicious and untrusting. As he became more spiritually mature, he understood that because he was in Christ, he was not the one taking care of himself but the Lord. He stopped being suspicious and untrusting. He realized that being that way had not really helped him in life. It alienated his friends and made it impossible for him to enjoy the peace of God. Even though he remained wise and observant, he stopped being a suspicious untrusting person because he now understood that his life was God’s idea and his security God’s responsibility. In today’s Bible verse, we see a very important guiding principle of thinking that every Christian should imbibe. We are not to be children in our thinking, but when it comes to evil and malice, we are to be children. We can afford this because we are children of Almighty God. There are revelations that God cannot reveal to believers who are too simple and childish in their thinking and reasoning. But there are depths of peace that cannot be reached by those who are too suspicious and untrusting. God wants us to be advanced and critical in our reasoning because He wants to reason with us(see Isaiah 1:8). He doesn’t want us to be simple thinkers who can be swayed by winds of highfalutin doctrines. One way to ensure we are not simpletons and childish in our reasoning is for us to have hearts that seek knowledge and understanding. ââŚwith all thy getting get understandingâ–Proverbs 4:7. Read, ask questions, seek to know. The internet is not only meant for social media but can be used for wisdom and understanding imparting research. Prayer: Lord, give me a heart that seeks wisdom and understanding. Amen. âAbraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Wait
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1909 1 Samuel 13:11-12 (NET)But Samuel said, âWhat have you done?â Saul replied, âWhen I saw that the army had started to abandon me and that you didnât come at the appointed time and that the Philistines had assembled at Micmash,I thought , âNow the Philistines will come down on me at GilgalâŚâ So I felt obligated to offer the burnt offeringâ (Read 1 Samuel 13:1) Have you ever had to wait for something? A medical test result? A phone call? An interview outcome? We all have had to wait for something at one time or the other. Waiting tends to come with some sense of apprehension which usually arises from fearing the worst, and the bible says that fear has torment (1 John 4:18). In our text above, we see how Saul yielded to pressure and transgressed the office of a priest. Samuel delayed and for fear of being deserted by the army and of failure, Saul sinned. This was a flaw in Saul as he exhibited it again in 1 Samuel 15 verse 24 which reads âAnd Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voiceâ. Friends, to successfully wait out times of trial and pressure to compromise, you must first be a person who exalts the [Word of the] Lord above all else. Again, you must fear only the Lord. The fear of the Lord will lead you aright, but the fear of man or the desire to please man will lead you astray. Again you must be a person who is led by the Holy Spirit by faith and not by sight. The rudder that steers your ship cannot be external, it has to be internal otherwise, you will, like Saul, feel obligated/pressured by circumstances to act/compromise. Keep your eyes on the Lord, be a person of prayer, wait; donât give up, donât give in. âIkechukwu Mpama Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Principle of Kingdom Greatness 2
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1908 1 Corinthians 14:4-5 (NET) The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened. Ever since Amaka started understanding how that God’s kingdom is real and not just a concept or metaphor, and is a kingdom that would literally take over the kingdoms of this world when the Lord returns (see Rev 11:15, Dan 7:14, 27, Ps 86:9), she started seeking [to understand] the kingdom of God more. One of the first things she discovered as she began to study the kingdom of God was that in the kingdom, even though we all have an equal heritage as sons of God, some would be called greater in the kingdom because of their service, faithfulness, and rewards. She started observing that we are not all at the same level in the kingdom of God. Some people are greater than others, and this is because of their fruitful work for God among people. From today’s Bible verses, we see a principle of kingdom greatness play out. Those who serve others with their gifts are greater than those who don’t. Speaking to God in an unknown tongue is good for self-edification (see 1 Cor 14:4), but using the gift of prophecy or tongues with interpretation to edify God’s people is better. But please note that speaking to people with tongues is different from praying [to God] in an unknown tongue (see 1 Cor 14:2), in which case there wouldn’t be a need for the tongue to be interpreted since youâre talking to God who understands all things. In the kingdom of this world, it is considered better to get than to give, but in the kingdom of God, it is better and more blessed to give than to receive(see Acts 20:35). It is better to edify people than to edify only yourself. But remember that you would be more effective in edifying people if you have first built up yourself in the secret place. Go into today remembering that heights of greatness in Godâs kingdom is reached by a heart more disposed to give than to get. Prayer: Father, please help me to be great in your kingdom and do exploits for you. Amen. âAbraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Principle of Kingdom Greatness
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/aud1907 Matthew 18:4 (NET) Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. As Amaka started reading the Bible for herself and growing in the knowledge of the Lord, she discovered that she was being transformed by the renewing of her mind through the word (Rom 12:2, Col 3:10). This manifested in her becoming more humble and gentle, and more fruitful in serving the Lord. She realized that she was becoming greater and greater in the kingdom as she was being transformed more and more into the nature of Christ. This greatness manifested also in the way demons now feared her and angels esteemed her. She was now closer to the Lord and could more easily get heaven to intervene in situations (see John 15:7, John 14:23).In Matthew 5:19, we see that those who influence people for righteousness the most are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. They do this by making disciples; teaching them to observe all the commandments of the Lord (see Matt 28:19-20). Please note that these commandments are not the Lord’s commandments as presented by Moses, but His commandments as presented by He Himself (when He came as flesh), and by His apostles later on. In Matthew 18:4, we see that the greatest people in the kingdom of God are those with childlike humility. You cannot serve God fruitfully without this kind of humility because you would need grace (divine empowerment) to serve fruitfully, and those who enjoy grace are those who are humble (see 1 Pet 5:5, James 4:6). Go into today remembering that greatness in the kingdom of God is infinitely better than greatness in this world. God wants us all to be great in His kingdom, but this is attained through a humble heart that is willing to learn and serve. Prayer: Father, please help me to be great in your kingdom and do exploits. âAbraham Damilola Arigi Streamglobe is nondenominational.

Flee Sexual Immorality
đDownload Audio Here â bit.ly/audio1906 1 Corinthians 6:18Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin a person commits is outside of the body”–but the immoral person sins against his own body. Immediately after my wedding in 2005, I traveled to attend a friend’s wedding in another state. As I left the wedding, an unmarried sister requested a ride. On our way, she begged me to allow her to quickly pick up her bag in her motherâs apartment nearby. We arrived there, only to discover that her mother was not at home. I sat in the living room, while she went into the bedroom to pick her bag. Later on, she came out and as I rose up to leave, she dropped her bag and suddenly squared up to me. She was a very busty lady. Alarmed, I asked her what she was up to, and she said I must kiss her before we leave. I was not only embarrassed but was also scared at the same time, because for inexplicable reasons, my body chemistry was already running wild. I told her I couldnât do it, that apart from being a child of God, I was married to her friend. With my eyes flaming hot with anger at her audacity, she had to let me go. All these happened in less than five minutes, but those few minutes were intense. I escaped unscathed but was shaken. Brethren, sexual assaults against Pastors and believers are real, especially in this crooked and perverted generation of ours. The devil is raving mad with the determination to turn everyone (including pastors) into slaves of immorality. Now, who can escape these raging onslaughts? Only those who have made up their mind with the backing of the Holy Spirit not to defile themselves. 1. Don’t counsel ladies on intimate issues that have to do with their sexual lives. Let your wife or other mature female counselors handle that. 2. Private home visits to females(or the opposite sex) should be done in the company of your wife(or husband) or an assistant. 3. Avoid giving private gifts to females without your wife’s knowledge, or better still, let her do the giving. Take heed unto yourselves and the ethics of ministry, because judgment will begin from the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). The arm of the flesh will fail you, so pray [and keep the prayer fire burning], so that you would have the power to overcome temptations (see Mark 14:38). Grow in the discerning of spirits, because Satan can masquerade as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). As you go into today, make up your mind that you won’t defile yourself, and always take heed unto yourself and your doctrines (personal principles of life).âCulled & modified from a write-up by Pastor Edo Roger Streamglobe is nondenominational.
