Dayo and Greg did the same things, but the results showed that Greg was diligent. Like Dayo, many have lived a general life, their decisions and actions are a result of their surroundings and the influence of men. They run when they see others running and stop when everyone stops, they are therefore pegged to a life of the average. Diligence entails that you fulfil your own part of the contract; the contract between you and God, which He reveals as His will for you (popularly accepted as destiny). Give your attention and care to searching through prayer, study, learning, and acquisition of new skills in the direction of God’s calling for you. God is a rewarder; he rewards diligence and not just hard work. Hard work in the wrong direction is as futile as planting maize and hoping to harvest orange; it will never happen. The only thing that reward answers to is diligence. Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him.” Go into today, making up your mind to fulfill your part of the contract by being diligent. Remember that God has given His will and His part is unchangeable!—Dr. Emmanuel James Bible in 1 Year: Psalms 78-80 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

SERVANTS OF CHRIST
To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞https://chat.whatsapp.com/8p9UtSMZImi6ywCwOFY7IZ Or Join Our Telegram Group☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 1 Corinthians 4:2 (NET) Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful. When it became clear to Eze that he too was a servant (minister) of Christ, he became more faithful to the Lord; He was now more committed to soul winning and discipleship, was now faithful in the way he handled his money, was now committed to the ministry of the word and prayer, and was now accountable to his brethren. Many believers are not as faithful as they can be because they do not know that they too are servants of Christ. They think it is only their pastors that are servants of Christ. But the Bible makes it clear that believers are ministers –servants of God (see Eph 4:12, 2 Cor 5:18). While children in a household are still babies, they are unable to serve in any capacity. But as they grow up, they are able to serve and handle responsibility in the family. As they further grow, a point will come that their father will feel comfortable to let them handle the family business. God wants you to handle great power in the kingdom, but it is required that you be found faithful. One of the more popular Bible verses today is from Isaiah 54:17, it says: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,’ Says the Lord”. This promise is actually meant for the servants of the Lord and every believer should be one. But how many really serve the Lord? Go into today remembering that as a son in the household of God, you are expected to serve the Lord in faithfulness. As you meditate on ways you can become more active in serving the Lord, ask Him to empower you to this end. —SD Abraham Bible in 1 Year: II Kings 1-5 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

STEWARDS OF THE MYSTERIES OF GOD

Yinka’s Grandma lived with them in the city. She was an unbeliever and could not understand what her children and grandchildren were always going to do in church every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. She had observed for years that they were always excited to go to church. On a given Wednesday evening, she curiously asked: “what is it that you go to do in the church and stay so long and would still be so excited to go next time?” Yinka responded: ma, we go to hear the word of God. Grandma: Which word that has not finished for all these years? Don’t you get tired of it? Is it not the same old Bible that they read it from? For the first time, it occurred to Yinka that her Pastors didn’t merely preach from the Bible, but were stewards of the mysteries of God. This was why they never ran out of fresh word from God that blessed the people. She invited her grandma to come to church with them. This time, her grandma agreed to go with them just to see what made them so excited. That was the day Yinka’s grandma accepted the Lord Jesus. Every servant of Christ is a Steward of the mysteries of God. This is an awesome privilege. But just like most things in the kingdom of God, he must walk in this reality by faith, and this faith is activated by knowledge. He must know that as a servant of God, he is a steward of the mysteries of God. Go into today remembering that through the church, the manifold wisdom of God is made known to the rulers and authorities in the spirit realm (Eph 3:10). This is because we have access to the mysteries of God. —SD Abraham Get FREE SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Bible in 1 Year: Leviticus 10-12 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

DILIGENCE
To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞https://chat.whatsapp.com/8p9UtSMZImi6ywCwOFY7IZ Or Join Our Telegram Group☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 Proverbs 13:4 (KJV) The soul of the sluggard desireth and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. Dayo and Greg were students in the same class; they studied and played together as best friends. But at the end of the term, Greg always came first and Dayo came almost last in the class. It was after four years that Dayo met a principal who by the spirit of God counseled him and taught him about personal diligence. His principal told him that until results began to show for his work, he could not say he was truly diligent, because diligence always yields results when attained. Greg and Dayo were both hardworking but Dayo was not diligent enough to see good results in his studies. The attitude of Dayo was reading as much as Greg, and never more than Greg. He slept when Greg slept, etc. But when Dayo began doing more, his result came to a tally with Greg’s. Merriam Webster dictionary defines diligence as “the attention and care legally expected or required of a person (as a party to a contract)”. God has a will for you; your part in seeing His will come to pass is in your diligence. God has given His will and His part is unchangeable. Proverbs 22:29 (KJV): Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. Go into today making up your mind to truly seek diligence. Ask the Lord to help you to be truly diligent from this moment. —Dr. Emmanuel James Not yet saved?

DO NOT GIVE UP

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5. yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. The widow in today’s passage had no help except the wicked judge who neither feared man nor God. Trying to ask a man such as this for help is almost a waste of time, but she asked anyway and kept asking until her help came. This is the word of the Lord for someone reading today: “ask one more time, do not give up”. “Keep on asking and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be opened” Matthew 7:7 (NLT). If a wicked judge will give justice to a poor widow; God who is gracious and Just will certainly give what you ask for if you keep on asking. “If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him” Matthew 7:11 (NLT). Continue to ask, do not give up on yourself; God has not given up on you. Go into today encouraged, strengthened and full of hope; don’t stop asking until your joy is full. God will answer you if you will not give up now. —Dr. Emmanuel James Not yet saved? Tap here☞ http://bit.ly/beSaved2 Bible in 1 Year: Luke 15-16 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

COMMIT THY WORKS UNTO THE LORD
To start getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio on your WhatsApp, join our WhatsApp Group Here☞https://chat.whatsapp.com/DKoKFtkDNm52KZYN4o03Pd Or Join Our Telegram Group☞ https://t.me/streamglobe1 Proverbs 16:1, 3 (KJV) The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord. Commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established. Bola and Jennet were friends from their childhood; they grew up and did almost everything together. They had similar dreams and visions since they grew up together, but it was observed that Jennet achieved much more success. When Bola asked Jannet for the secret of her great success, she found out that Jennet was much more committed and dependent on the Lord. Janet would always tell her plans to God first and do only what God leads her to do. For instance, she once turned down a high paying job because she was not led to take it. It is good to have good plans and even confess them. But the establishment of such plans and confessions are only guaranteed when we commit them to the Lord. When we commit our plans to the Lord, He usually responds by giving us counsel. When we seek and follow God’s counsel, we will labor less and achieve more because God himself would watch over our work. (See Jeremiah 1:12). Go into today committing every single plan you have to God; ask His counsel and make up your mind to follow His leading. May grace for obedience be supplied to you in Jesus’ name. Amen. —Dr. Emmanuel James Not yet saved? Tap here☞ http://bit.ly/beSaved2 Bible in 1 Year: Ezekiel 13-18 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

ALL THINGS BELONG TO YOU

For everything belongs to you, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. Everything belongs to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. When Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, the church in Corinth was divided. Some said Paul was their apostle, others said Apollos was their apostle, and some others said Cephas was their apostle. Because of this, there were divisions among them. Paul made it clear to them that these divisions were simply a sign of spiritual immaturity (see 1 Cor 3:3-4). Today, there are many denominations in the global Church, and each having their teachers, apostles, etc. There is nothing wrong with denominations as long as the people realize that the church is one, and all things, including ministers of God outside their denomination, belong to them. God never planned for his saints to receive from only one kind of ministry gift (see Eph 4:11-12), but that is exactly what happens to believers who continually limit themselves to one minister of God. Such a believer would not grow to his full capacity because he lacks spiritual balanced diet. If a minister is going to be truthful and humble, at certain points he would have to admit that there are certain kinds of graces that he has not been given. Even the great apostle Paul knew that he didn’t have grace for apostleship to the Jews–that was Peter’s department (see Gal 2:8, Rom 11:13). Churches established by Paul received from the ministry of Peter, John, James and even Jude. That was the culture of the church. Go into today remembering that all true ministers of God belong to you and you should be blessed by their unique grace if you belong to Christ. Do not limit yourself by being closed-hearted. —Pastor SD Abraham Not yet saved? Tap here☞ http://bit.ly/beSaved2 Bible in 1 Year: Proverbs 7 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

After experiencing the dark side of life for many years, Lamide was now humbled and open to accept the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Someone preached to her and she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior.Because Lamide understood what it meant to accept Christ as her Lord, she left the house of her boyfriend and rented her own apartment. She repented of all her old foolish ways and became consecrated to the Lord. As she grew, she understood that because Christ was now her Lord, all things that belong to Christ are under her authority. When she prayed, she prayed with this mindset, and she saw the results of her prayers. The evil spell of her enemy was destroyed and she was now free to walk in her glorious destiny. Many times, believers are not powerful because they do not realize that they belong to Christ and all things are under their control because of the authority of Christ they have through submission to Him. Even the devil (the prince of this world) flees when believers who submit to the authority of Christ resist him (see James 4:7). A believer who lives in disobedience to Christ cannot command Christ’s authority because he is not submitted to that authority. Go into today remembering that you belong to Christ and because of this, all things [that belong to Christ] belongs to you. Ask the Lord to teach you to walk in this reality. —Pastor SD Abraham Not yet saved?

WISDOM FROM ABOVE 2

She accomplished this through diligence and wisdom. From her first week on campus, she determined what she wanted and started working towards it. By the time she graduated, she was already an expert at accomplishing her set goals. She was not easily distracted and knew how to get what she wanted. But she did not know God and despised the idea of being a ‘born again’. All her wisdom proved futile when she started dealing with enmity from the immortal realm. Her stepmother hated her more when she heard of how successful she was in school. Her stepmother somehow believed that Lamide’s success was shielding her children from succeeding. She paid a sorcerer to cast a spell against Lamide. The spell worked, and with time, Lamide’s life was in disarray. She stopped making progress, made some very bad choices in life, and ended up a very unhappy person. Lamide’s wisdom could not help her because her problems were spiritually orchestrated. Anyone who only depends on human wisdom will find himself disadvantaged if he has to deal with people who have some little spiritual upper hand. But anyone who has the wisdom from above can never be disadvantaged in any situation. In all things, God works for their good (see Rom 8:28). Wisdom from above is only available to those who are in God’s kingdom. (see John 3:3). As you go into today, go for the wisdom that has relevance both in time and eternity. Prayer: Ask the Lord to give you His kind of wisdom.

As it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” As a wise man according to the system of this world, Agu was very good at hustling and grabbing to get. And he thought this same method would advance him in the kingdom of God as it advanced him in the world, but he was sorely wrong. For example, during Holy Communion in church, because he was the head usher, he would insist on taking the leftover bread and wine home because he believed in the power of the communion. There was nothing wrong with this in itself, only that even at times when some people in the church could not get Holy communion because more people attended the service than expected, Agu would still take some ‘leftover’ bread and wine home. Such were his ways even in the church. But after some time, he realized that this kind of wisdom was not helping him advance in spiritual stature, and that was what he wanted. There are many things done in the world that many have introduced into their kingdom life, but unknown to them, it is nothing but foolishness in the sight of God. The wisdom of this world is selfish, mean, self-centered, crafty, wicked, deceptive, proud, and ruthless. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere (see James 3:17). It may not look so at the onset, but even in this world, the wisdom that comes from above is better than the wisdom of this world. It yields better fruits because God is still the owner and ruler of heaven and earth. This wisdom links His children with riches that don’t come with sorrows. —Pastor SD Abraham Download Sermons☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Bible in 1 Year: Philippians 1-2 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.
