YOU ARE HERE FOR A PURPOSE
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1796 Psalms (KJV)“Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.” How do I become what God has ordained me to be? Are you born again? If Yes, God has chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit (John 15:16), he wrote a volume concerning you. So, success is a measure of how much of the volume written concerning you have fulfilled. The volume written concerning you by God was written by the Holy Spirit, who now dwells in you. God gave you the Holy Spirit so he could lead you into all truth. Knowing purpose has been difficult because many only have the Holy Spirit in them but do not listen to Him. Jesus said in John 16:13 that, “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.” Your purpose is part of the “things to come” which the Holy Spirit will show to you if you ask Him. You see, to know and do the volume written concerning you, you must know and listen to the Holy Spirit. Please, read Proverbs 8:22-36 Go into today knowing that, the Holy Spirit is the greatest gift you have and can ever have. He will guide you into all truth, speak to you of Jesus and show you things to come. Dare to trust Him. —Dr. Emmanuel James Want to be saved?

NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT NOT LAWLESS
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1795 1 Corinthians 9:21 (NET) To those free from the law I became like one free from the law (though I am not free from God’s law but under the law of Christ) to gain those free from the law. When Ronke got to the university, she met some ‘brethren’ who taught that believers are not under the law therefore sin no longer exists for the believer. The result of this doctrine was that sexual immorality was rampant in that fellowship. Some members of the fellowship were cultists, and some of the ladies were call-girls. Ronke who was brought up in the way of righteousness now started despising her upbringing and believing that her parents were not knowledgeable in the ‘mysteries of the gospel’. She continued to say this until she had her 4th abortion and ruptured her womb. During this period, she almost died and was hospitalized for weeks. None of her fellowship sisters or brothers showed up at the hospital. The only person that kept coming was her roommate (who attended a fellowship Ronke despised because she said they were still under the law in that fellowship). This was when the scales fell off Ronke’s eyes. In an attempt to preach to believers that they are no more under the [old covenant] law, many have preached lawlessness and produced lukewarm half-baked believers who are potent tools in the hand of the enemy against the advancement of God’s kingdom because they are a bad example and are a major hindrance to many seekers of truth from finding the truth of the gospel. This is the reason why Jesus would have preferred for such lukewarm ‘believers’ to be cold (unbelievers). At least they would not be a stumbling block (Rev 3:15-16). Go into today remembering that even though you are not under the Old Testament law, you are not lawless but are under the law of Christ. —SD Abraham Want to be saved?

YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE
Psalms 139:14 (KJV)“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Lucia failed all through her days as a student. She wrote all her major examinations at least thrice, her parent had written her off and had called her a failure; they even told her that she was mentally retarded. She suffered so much depression that she intended to take her own life. “God, I will read a portion of your word and pray my last prayer and just die, I am tired of living” were her final words. She, however, stumbled on today’s Bible text and for the first time in her life, found someone who called her wonderful—God Himself. By this encounter, Lucia received for the first time an understanding of her person. She ended up becoming very successful in life. You are fearfully and wonderfully made! Did you know this? Oh, how well do you know this truth? “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me” (Psalm 51:5) was King David’s experience until he discovered God’s reality for him, hence, he wrote Psalms 139:14. It was after this that his life changed and he became a man of recon. No wonder he spent his life praising God. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are marvelous. You are made by God to be full of wonders. It is how well you know this that will determine your wellbeing. How much of yourself have you discovered? You will silence every contention and reproach when you know who you really are in Christ. Go into today knowing that you are full of wonders and God who wrote your story is subordinate to none. Begin to praise Him for a job well done as you dish out these wonders one after the other.—Dr. Emmanuel James Yearly Bible: II Chronicles 16-20 To start getting Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/FL6XDKnAzBLBZYBLd03hbh Streamglobe is interdenominational.

GOD WILL TURN THEIR HEARTS BACK
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1793 1 Kings 18:37 (KJV)Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. From this text, we see that God is God, and what that means is that He rules the human heart, He has the power to turn the human heart to Himself. Is there anyone reading this devotional who was once dead in sins with no thirst for Christ at all, but now loves Him, seeks Him, delights in His fellowship and His service? God did that. Are there any hearts of stone in your family? God says “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove your stubborn hearts and give you obedient hearts.” (Eze. 36:26). Are there any stiff-necked disobedient hearts in your city or family with zero submission to God’s law, God says “I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.” (Jer. 31:33). Are there any hearts in your family who have gone very far from God and would have nothing to do with Him? God says “And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.” (Jer. 24:7). Dear friend, Jesus said “There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock with one shepherd.” (John 10:16). Some of these sheep belong to the categories of people outlined above. Jesus wants them in the fold, you should have that same desire for such people. If God turns the heart, there is hope. If He turned your own heart back to Himself, then stand on His word and pray for the other sheep that are not yet in the fold, till He brings them in. God is God and He turns men back to Himself. —Otuokon, Ubokudom O.

JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1792 Romans 14:17 (KJV) For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. The day Eniola got baptized in the Holy Ghost, he lost his mobile phone on his way to church. This was added to the fact that he had just lost his job and didn’t have money to buy another phone. He came to church that night heavy and depressed. But as the servant of God laid hands on him, the Holy Ghost filled him and he started speaking in tongues uncontrollably. No one could stop him–it was an overflow. The first thing he observed was that the heaviness in heart vanished. He was no more bothered about anything. The joy that filled his heart was like nothing he had ever experienced. All he now wanted was to spend time with the Lord and keep this new sweet presence of the Holy Ghost within him. He knew that with the Holy Ghost, all his problems were not an issue. As weeks passed, he observed that one thing that lasted with him was the peace and joy of the Holy Ghost, and the desire to now please the Lord in all things (righteousness). One of the signs that a person is filled with the Holy Ghost is joy in the Holy Ghost ( see Eph 5:18-20). The devil knows that if he can get you out of this joy for long, he would hinder you from walking in your spiritual strength because the joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh 8:10). Go into today remembering that in the kingdom of God, our joy is in the Holy Ghost and not based on other things. The devil will try to steal this joy. Don’t let him succeed. Remember he cannot change the way the Holy Ghost feels about you (Romans 8:31-39). —Dr. Emmanuel James Yearly Bible: Hebrews 8-10 Get free sermons here☞ streamglobe.org/34 To start getting Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/FruYnF1vddB8NfvNw0ZZCM Streamglobe is interdenominational.

IF YE CONTINUE IN MY WORD
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1791 John 8:31-32 (KJV)“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Pastor, it is true that after I believed in the Lord Jesus, I began to enjoy God’s peace, and the terrible nightmares stopped. But there are still so many things promised to believers in the Bible that I am not experiencing in my life, even when I have asked God for them. Pastor, what should I do? Often neglected in sermons is John 8:31, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed”, but without this verse, the popular John 8:32 cannot be experienced. Believing in Jesus is the initial step to finding the truth; however, there is the need to continued in His word. If you must know the truth, you must continue in Jesus’ word. And through the light of His word, the [Holy] Spirit [of Truth] will guide you into all truth (see Psalm 119:105, John 16:13). Jesus said, “if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Notice the use of the word “And” in verse 32 shows that it is a continuation of verse 31. Isaiah 40: 31 (KJV), “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary and they shall walk, and not faint. Do you want to enjoy all that is promised you in the word of God? If yes, continue in the word of Jesus. Ask God for the grace to continue.—Dr. Emmanuel James Yearly Bible: Acts 3-4 Want to be saved?

CALLED TO PREACH OR TEACH?
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1790 1 Corinthians 9:16 (NET) For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason for boasting, because I am compelled to do this. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! When Gbenga was a child, he had several dreams of him preaching on crusade grounds. It looked to him like that was the kind of life the Lord was calling him to live, but As Gbenga grew older and became more encumbered with the vicissitudes of life, he was no longer sure. A time came that more than any other thing in his life, he wanted to certain about his call. Many have asked me how to know if they are called to preach and teach (all the fivefold ministries involve preaching and/or teaching). My first concern is to be sure they are spiritually healthy. After it has been established that the believer is spiritually healthy, the next thing to look out for is if there is a burning desire in him to preach, even if there is no [physical] reward or glory. If spiritually healthy, those with a call need no persuasion to minister. They would be compelled from within to preach. They would be willing to spend their money just to get people to listen to them, etc. Like Jeremiah, if they try to hinder themselves from preaching, the word will be like fire in their bones (see Jeremiah 20:9). Like Paul, their souls would cry out “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel”. For a man with a call to preach or teach, no matter what his earthly achievements are, he would not feel fulfilled until he fulfills his call. He would always feel empty and hollow inside, no matter how loaded he is outside. Go into today asking the Lord to deliver you from every spiritual disease that hinders people from discerning the necessity of their call. —Pastor SD Abraham Yearly Bible: Jonah Get sermons here☞ streamglobe.org/34 Want to be saved?

GOD BREATHED SCRIPTURES
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1789 Ephesians 2:20 (KJV) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. I recently saw a post on social media and there a young man was claiming that he had more revelations and Rhema than the apostles did because Jesus said we would do greater works. He went on to rebuke and criticize those he deemed as ‘myopic’ and ‘religious’ brethren who think they cannot have more revelation than what the apostles wrote in the Bible. People who believe what he believes are those who say things like ‘Paul wrote that because he had not yet received sufficient revelation into the mystery of the gospel’. They are those who teach the ‘deep things of Satan’(see Rev 2:24) and call it the deeper things of the gospel. They forget that All scripture is God-breathed (see 2 Tim 3:16). Every piece of writing that made it to the Bible (scriptures) made it as a result of God’s divine orchestration. The Apostles and prophets referred to in today’s Bible text are the ones who wrote the Bible under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Under the inspiration of God, the Old Testament was written by The Prophets, and the New Testament was written by The Apostles. If tomorrow, we find Apostle Paul’s personal journal and jottings or we discover other letters Apostle Peter wrote to the churches, neither the discovered jottings nor letters would become part of scripture, and would not be treated as such. Many other letters were written by the apostles, but the ones the Holy Spirit allowed to make it to the Bible is now our scripture. Go into today remembering that the Bible is God’s gift to you. It was carefully orchestrated and arranged by the Holy Spirit over many centuries. Any revelation that is ‘deeper’ than what the scripture reveals is nothing by a false doctrine of men and demons. Prayer: Ask the Lord to keep you from the spirit of error. —SD Abraham Yearly Bible: Proverbs 28 To start getting Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/LdffZGRpQNXKXLympzwWO0 Streamglobe is interdenominational.

HONOR AND THE BLESSING 2
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1788 1 Corinthians 9:14-15 (RSV) In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing this to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have any one deprive me of my ground for boasting. When a Child is born into a royal family, even though by heritage, he is a prince and will inherit great wealth, no one will entrust the great wealth into his hands while he is still a child. We saw previously how that Paul refused to collect offerings from the Corinthians but would rather work with his hands while doing ministry among them. He did this because of the peculiarity of the Corinthians, and he didn’t want anything to be a hindrance to the furtherance of the gospel. We also saw that in his letter, Paul now taught them that it is a principle of God’s kingdom for the people to minister their material things to those who minister spiritual things to them. The fact that the Corinthians didn’t understand this was another proof that they were still spiritual babes (see 1 Cor 3:1-3). Apostle Paul wasn’t telling them this because he was trying to raise an offering from them, but because he wanted them to be built up into maturity and walk in the attendant glory. Any believer who has not conquered this mater of giving is still dominated by the flesh. The truth is that those whose hands are closed (with regard to giving) are still spiritual babes, regardless of the gifts in their lives. One sign of spiritual maturity is the ability to give sacrificially. Go into today remembering that spiritual maturity covers all aspects of your life, especially the way you spend your money.Luke 16:11 (NET):If then you haven’t been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will entrust you with the true riches? Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you to be faithful to Him in the way you spend your money. —SD Abraham Yearly Bible: Psalms 117-118 To start getting Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/Gt1yZHiXc9T6nnczq85Gma Streamglobe is interdenominational.

FAITH BEYOND UNDERSTANDING
Get Today’s Audio☞ bit.ly/aud1787 John 11:21 (ERV) Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. We live in a time when natural disasters, failed economies, and poverty have resulted in many deaths and great tragedies that so many have been led to ask questions like: If God is truly in charge of things, why would He allow such to happen? From our text, Martha may have sounded, due to her sorrow as humble in expressing herself but nonetheless, like so many (believers and nonbelievers alike), it was said in ignorance and in a way tried to impugn the faithfulness of God. While it is good to empathize and sympathize with others in tragedy, we must be careful not to err or join them to err against God because of grief. God owes no man any explanation and for one to question God’s faithfulness in a manner that presumes God as answerable to man, is one giving in to the flesh (Matt 12:45-46, Job 42:1-6, Rom 11:35). Even if our time and effort utilized in serving God haven’t translated into our desired earthly outcome, we must believe that God remains faithful. We may never understand the whys but His faithfulness is revealed in us when by faith, we put our focus on the eternal, above and beyond our own physical redemption (Read Job 19:25-26, Ps 16:8-11, Dan 3:16-18, Lk 23:40-43, Acts 7:56-60, 1Cor 4:16-18, Heb 11:35b). Go into today encouraged that though your trials may feel overwhelming now, God has promised that He will never leave you (Jn 16:33, Isa 43:2, Heb 13:5). —Chibo E.C.
