SAFEGUARD AGAINST ERROR
Download Audio Version☞ bit.ly/audio1746 1 Corinthians 6:12-13 (KJV) All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. When Amaka’s boyfriend found out that she was leaving him because of her faith in Christ, he tried to convince her to stay. He opened the Bible and read 1 Corinthians 6:12. He tried to persuade her that since she was free in Christ, all things were permissible for her. She was almost convinced by his doctrine but knew in her spirit that continuing to live with him in sin was not the will of God, so she left even though she was quite confused. When she discussed this confusion with her pastor, he made her understand that ‘all things’ talked about in 1 Cor 6:12 was within the context of the food we eat and nothing more. I have counseled a lady whose ‘Christian’ fiancé was trying to convince her to commit immorality with him, and he was doing so using the Bible verses like the one above. It is dangerous when believers read the Bible but do not understand it. When the devil tempted Jesus, he was using phrases from the scripture, but Jesus was not deceived because he understood scripture even from when he was 12 years. Go into today remembering that the biggest safeguard against error and mistakes is understanding the scriptures and knowing the power of God (see Matthew 22:29, Psalm 119:9). Ask the Lord to give you the spirit of revelation and understanding so that you may grow in Him. —SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Proverbs 19 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/Am0twb9Vvz69f6T1pAUyom Devotional with audio Bible reading now only available on our Telegram groups Join Telegram Group Here☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 Kindly share this interdenominational Devotional with your contacts and let’s touch lives together.

YOU HAVE BEEN WASHED
Download Audio Version☞ bit.ly/audio1745 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NET) Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals,thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive, and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God. Some of you once lived this way. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. When Amaka accepted the Lord Jesus, she knew it was time for her to move out of her boyfriend’s house and end the ungodly relationship. But because her boyfriend was rich and was the one who paid most of her bills, she found it very difficult to leave him. Three weeks had passed and she was still living with him. She started deceiving herself and telling herself that the way she lived her life didn’t matter, that all that mattered was her faith (She didn’t realize that the two could not be separated). But one night, she slept and dreamt that her filthy rags were changed into pure white clean clothes. But she went and sat down back into the mud from where she was raised. It was no ordinary dream. The next morning, she packed her things and left her boyfriend’s house. She did this because she realized that she had been washed and cleansed, and continuing in sin was going to get her back into the bondage of the devil. It is the deception of the devil that makes a believer think that he can continue in his sins and inherit the kingdom of God. Jesus says “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven–only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven”(Matt 7:21). Go into today remembering that as a person sanctified, even if you fall, you get cleansed and do not take your place in sin. Ask the Lord to send eye-opening encounters and revelations to his children who may be going astray. —SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Psalms 99-101 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/Am0twb9Vvz69f6T1pAUyom Devotional with audio Bible reading now only available on our Telegram groups Join Telegram Group Here☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 Go Here to get sermons☞ streamglobe.org/34 Streamglobe is nondenominational.

THE FAME OF HIS NAME 5
Download Audio Version☞ bit.ly/audio1744 Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. A difference exists between an ordinary citizen trying to settle a quarrel and one who is backed by the law. I watched as two young men grappled and held each other by the throat amidst pleas from onlookers for them to stop. They held on until a police van pulled up on the scene. Immediately, the young men were separated and in no time the squabble was squelched. They may not have agreed yet but they knew better than to persist with the fighting. Christ isn’t just an arbiter of peace; He is The Prince of Peace. If an ordinary officer with limited authority can halt a warring situation, how much more one who is Royalty and bears all authority (Ps 46:9)? Peace isn’t necessarily the absence of war but it is the prevailing calmness even in the midst of war which comes only from God (Phil 4:6-7). It isn’t ordinary and we do not deserve it, but it came at the highest cost, paid in full by Christ Jesus. Therefore, by believing and receiving Him as our peace, we soar over the battle. Go into today remembering that you serve the prince of peace. Ask the Lord to bring His peace into your life and cause you to prosper from all things. Prayer: Ask the Lord to speak peace into every storm in your life. Confession: My life is ruled by God’s peace. The peace of Lord that passes all understanding fills my heart. All things in my life are working according to God’s plan, in Jesus name. Amen. —Chibo E.C.

Download Audio Version☞ bit.ly/audio1743 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 (NET) Therefore “come out from their midst, and be separate,” says the Lord, “and touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” says the All-Powerful Lord. While Chinedu was still mingling with the world and running his business as an unbeliever, he was still having episodes of spiritual attacks and nightmares. There was a night that he literally saw a demon come into his bedroom to torment and oppress him. He wondered why these things were still happening to him. He was told that if he accepted the Lord Jesus, he would become a child of God and would no longer be susceptible to his previous attacks, but that didn’t really seem to be the case. He was still having experiences that made him doubt if the power of God was real in his life? As he decided to abide in the Lord and not go back to the world, he realized that the Holy Spirit moved him to separate himself from his old friends who were unbelievers. He also observed that his faith became much stronger when he did this. With time, he woke up one morning and observed that his afflictions had all disappeared. He was so preoccupied with seeking the Lord and growing that he even forgot about them. Many believers in the Lord Jesus today are not having the experiential reality of the fatherhood of God and they wonder why. Today’s Bible verse was to believers who even though they had the motions corresponding to faith in Christ Jesus, they needed to understand that those who enjoy the fatherhood dimensions of relationship with God are those who are wholly separated unto the Lord. This means separation from friendship with the world and living with the consciousness that they are indeed different from the world around them. —SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Numbers 5-8 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/Am0twb9Vvz69f6T1pAUyom or Telegram Group☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 Not yet saved?

THE FAME OF HIS NAME 4
Download Audio Version☞ bit.ly/audio1742 Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. I visited an orphanage and realized for the first time that I had not been thankful enough for the gift of a good [earthly] father. In the orphanage, I met a four-year-old orphaned girl with a terminal heart disease. But despite her condition, she exuded the grace and confidence of one who had a good father, mother, or both. It was an orphanage but it felt as though I was in the presence of one from an aristocratic or royal family. I felt like adopting her. Many have been hurt and are in need of healing because of experiences they’ve had with bad fathers, or because they cannot even relate with the concept of proper fatherhood. You may not have had a father at all, you may be one, you may have had a bad one or the one you have never planned to have you. Regardless of all these scenarios, if you believe in the Lord Jesus(accept His Lordship over your life), you will be adopted into the family of the everlasting Father (John 1:12-13, Rom 8:15). Having the last name of the world’s most powerful president or billionaire pales deeply in comparison to The everlasting Father’s name you’ll inherit (Eph 3:15). You will be called God’s righteous one, light, God’s temple, etc. and as you live your life as a reflection of these names, doors will unlock and things will align in your favor (2 Corinthians 6:14-16, Heb 10:38, Ps 16:6). Go into today reminded that God loves you and wants to have a joyous father-child relationship with you. (Acts 4:12, Luke 15:17-24). Prayer: Lord, help me live under the Lordship of Christ and walk in Your plan for me to be your child indeed. Amen. —Chibo E.C.

THE FAME OF HIS NAME 3
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. The dictionary defines the word mighty as possessing great and impressive power or strength, especially due to size while the word almighty means having complete power or being omnipotent. This title is reserved for God alone. It is wonderful to know that the name of Jesus is also The mighty God. It then means that when He manifests in this name on your behalf, no one and nothing can defeat you. It doesn’t matter how hopeless your life may seem, He is mighty to save you (Ps 24:8, Zep 3:17). One of the greatest displays of God’s mighty power was when He raised Jesus Christ from the dead. As believers, we have received the same Spirit behind that great power (Eph 1:19-20, Rom 8:11). This power is far-reaching enough to sustain the universe and is close enough to save you (Heb 1:3, John 3:16). Many have been deceived into believing for less than what Christ died for. His death and resurrection opened a way for us by His name to do mighty works, but sadly, this is not often the case. One major reason for this is unbelief, and according to the bible, its presence limits the release of God’s mighty power (Ps 78:41, Mk 6:5-6a KJV). The only cure for this is the Word (Rom10:17). Go into today reminded that God is sovereign and His name is mighty to deliver. But unless you see yourself in the light of who you are in Christ and act accordingly by faith, you’d be limiting the mighty manifestation of His power (Judges 6:11-16). —Chibo E.C.

REMAIN IN THE LORD
John 15:7 (NET) If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. After Chinedu accepted the Lord Jesus, there was the temptation for him to go back to the world and not remain or abide in the Lord. But he read John 15 and realized that in order for him to be fruitful, he had to remain in the Lord. He knew this meant he had to leave his friends who were a bad influence on his faith. He also realized this meant he had to submit to the Lord and let the word of the Lord rule his life and even his business practices. Many people in today’s church are not fruitful and are lacking in spiritual might and power because they are not abiding in the Lord. Even though they attend church services, they are still in the world and not in Christ because they are still dominated by the principles of the world (1 John 2:16). You cannot abide in Christ and continue in the principles of this world. Those who remain with the Lord are those that have a relationship with Him. They care about how the Lord feels and seek to please Him in all things. The word of God will abide in them. Because the Word is living and active, it would renew their minds and transform them into the image of Christ (Rom 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18). At this point, whatever they want would align with God’s will, so whatever they ask will be given to them. Go into today remembering that it is only those who abide in the Lord that will be fruitful. They are those who heaven responds to their prayer. Ask the Lord to help you abide in Him and be fruitful. —Pastor SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: Daniel 7-12 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/Am0twb9Vvz69f6T1pAUyom or Telegram Group☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 Not yet saved?

THE FAME OF HIS NAME 2
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Charles believed that when he found the woman he wanted to marry, he was set for marital bliss. Right away he met with the girl’s parents and proceeded in a haste to do the wedding. However, in failing to obtain some much needed premarital counsel, months into the wedding he and his wife were at the edge of divorce after several quarrels. It took God’s grace and several marriage counseling sessions to save his marriage. A counselor is one who gives advice for the purpose of guidance or one who represents as a legal defense. Jesus manifested this name (Rabbi) on earth as he taught and defended his disciples from attacks by the Pharisees, etc (John 1:38, Matt 12:1-8). Ignorance kills, but through counsel, one can avoid errors that lead to disaster (Hosea 4:6, Pro 11:14). However, not all counsels are of God. For this reason, it is very expedient that the right counsel is received at all times. This can only be found through the Person of the Holy Spirit who is sent in Jesus’ name to be our Counselor (John 14:26, Rom 8:26). Therefore, for everything in life including the things we think are trivial, we must seek the counsel of the Spirit so that we can know the will of God and avoid walking in error. Go into today knowing that the best counsel you will ever receive is to make Jesus your Lord and Savior. As you do so and abide in Him, your victory in life is assured. —Chibo E.C.

THE FAME OF HIS NAME 1
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Right from the announcement of His birth, through to His resurrection, Jesus was and is still a wonder. There are several accounts that left all in awe as He manifested the name “Wonderful” both in the Old and New Testament. In order to do the miraculous which defeats the enemy, the Lord manifests in this name (Exo 3:20, Job 9:10, Ps 77:14, Acts 4:30). In life’s overwhelming situations where the only way out is through an act of wonder, knowing Jesus’s name as ‘Wonderful’ becomes very expedient. Unfortunately, many in ignorance still use His name in vain (fear or jest). But for us who believe, the power of attorney in His name to do wonders has been given (Exo 20:7, Mk 16:17-18). It’s good to note that wonders aren’t random occurrences based on any man’s choosing or by any particular pattern but they’re events by God, suspending natural laws in order to make His name known. However, our anticipation and preparedness in faith are keys that help us as vessels to facilitate their occurrence. God is glorious in holiness and fearful in praises. If we honor Him with our lives in holiness and praise, rather than in sin; murmuring and ingratitude, His wonders will follow us. (Exo 15:11, Josh 3:5). Go into today, trusting God concerning that seemingly hopeless situation, and as you do so living in holiness and praise, He will in His perfect time, manifest wonders to transform your destiny for His glory. —Chibo E.C.

THE MARK OF BELIEVERS
John 13:34-35 (NKJV) A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” When Omolara arrived in New York City for the first time, she was stranded because she couldn’t reach her cousin who was to pick her up from the airport. She arrived 24 hours earlier than scheduled. Because of some issues with her bank, to her surprise, she couldn’t spend her money because it was still held up in her country’s local currency. When it became clear to Omolara that she was going to be stranded in the airport with very little money, she called her pastor and told him of her plight. Thankfully, her pastor knew some brethren in that city that he could call. One of them had to leave her office early and drive for three hours to the airport to go and pick up Omolara. When Omolara’s cousin eventually got through to her 24 hours later, he was surprised to see that she was already comfortable and well settled. Because of the genuine love that he saw among Christians that day, he eventually became a believer. The Warren’s took Omolara into their home because through the testimony of a Christian brother they knew, they were sure she too was a sister. ‘I was a stranger, and you invited me in’ is one of the things the Lord will say to His sheep on that day (see Matt 25:34-40). Christians are people who love each other. It is in our divine DNA (1 John 4:7-8). Go into today remembering that as far as heaven is concerned, anyone who is truly born of God will love his Christian brethren (see 1 John 3:10). —SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: I Chronicles 5-9 (in today’s audio) To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/Am0twb9Vvz69f6T1pAUyom or Telegram Group☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 Download Semons Here☞ streamglobe.org/34 Streamglobe is nondenominational.
