If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise. Certain incidences had revealed to Agu that he did not have so much spiritual stature and authority in the kingdom. He knew this when he spent time with some missionaries and saw how much of Christ’s authority they walked in and even exerted over their environment. Jesus could command the storm and speak to the fig tree because of this authority. Paul could effectively be a witness for Jesus in the darkest places of the world and was dreaded by demons because of this authority. Agu now knew that even though our spiritual authority is inherited, we have to grow into it. Before he became born again, he was a very wealthy man in this world and was vast in the wisdom of this world. He now wanted the greatness of the kingdom of God, but was still using the wisdom of this world. Many things in the kingdom of God are antithetical to the kingdom of this world. For example, Jesus says those who are great in the kingdom of God are determined by their extent of service to others, not by the extent to which people serve them (see Matt 20:25-28). But it’s the opposite in this world. Also, in the kingdom of God, it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35), but in the kingdom of this world, it is considered more beneficial to get than to give. If a person thinks he is wise [according to the standards of this world], that wisdom is very useless and cannot take him far in the kingdom of God. If he tries to use that kind of wisdom to advance in the kingdom of God, he will realize that he is making no progress. One of the reasons we must pay attention to the ministry of the word and prayer is because this is the way God recalibrates our minds to the standards of His kingdom so we can grow. —SD Abraham Not yet saved?

BUILDER OR DESTROYER?

For God’s temple is holy, which is what you are. Pastor Gbade’s joy was not full because he had godless and unruly children. He kept wondering why God did not save his children and do the one thing he wanted the most in life. He decided to take time again to seek the face of the Lord concerning this matter. After praying for three days and crying to the Lord concerning his godless children, the Lord told him that ‘He that destroys my temple I will destroy’. Immediately, he understood that the problem with his children was because of the deceitful way he had handled the word of God all these years. Unlike Apostle Paul, he couldn’t say “we have not handled the word of God deceitfully”(see 1 Cor 4:2). He had taught things and done things he knew were wrong just because they would bring in more money. Notice that just before Apostle Paul wrote today’s Bible verse, he wrote that those whose work (as ministers among the Corinthians) will be found to be wanting will suffer loss on judgment day. He is now giving the real reason why this can happen. You see, it is a big deal to God for His children to suffer loss. But this can happen if these children are found to have destroyed His temple rather than build it. Those whose works will burn up on judgment day were not really builders, they are destroyers disguised as builders. When a minister gathers people and refuses to feed them with the sincere milk [and meat] of God’s word, but rather feeds them with adulterated and tainted milk, such a minister is a destroyer of God’s temple rather than a builder. That is why such will suffer loss on judgment day and only be saved as though through the fire. Go into today asking the Lord to help you build accurately so that you would receive a reward and not relegation. —SD Abraham AUDIO SERMONS☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Bible in 1 Year: Luke 13-14 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

Franca was facing a lot of attacks that made her weary and almost paranoid. She knew that the enemy of her soul was out to destroy her, but she did not seem to have enough strength to resist the assault against her soul. One day, as she was reading the Bible, she saw that she had marked 1 Cor 3:16, so she read it again and again. After reading it for about seven times, it dawned on her that no one could destroy her because she was the temple of the Lord. This was the word from the Lord that gave her victory over that battle. You see, God does not play with His temple that he dwells in. Anyone who attempts to destroy His temple will be inviting a battle from God Himself. No one can stand this. It is important for you to know who God has made you and know the things that have been freely given to you. This is one of the reasons the Holy Spirit was given to you. He facilitates this kind of knowledge (see 1 Corinthians 2:12). This Knowledge activates faith, and it is through faith that we take possession of what we have been given by the Lord. Go into today remembering that you are the temple of the living God. You are precious in God’s sight, and because of this, no one can destroy you (whether demon or man): No one can destroy your finances, your marriage, your career, your health, your business, your health, etc. Prayer: thank you Lord for making me your temple. I ask for Strength to keep your temple holy. Amen. —SD Abraham AUDIO SERMONS☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Bible in 1 Year: Ezekiel 7-12 (in today’s audio) Streamglobe is interdenominational.

FEED THE NATIONS

Agriculture and farming is very important to the sustenance of a nation. It’s amazing how a tiny grain of seed can reproduce, be processed and be packaged in different forms, in order to feed many. Many, however, don’t care about how it all works. They forget that before products are ever placed on store shelves as food, a seed was sacrificed and buried. Many believers have also forgotten that God’s Word calls us the planting of the Lord, which means that we are also seeds. At our new birth, we become seeds in His hands, which afterwards must then go through the process of dying in order to bear fruit (Isa 61:3, Lk 9:23) From our Bible verse, it is inevitable for us to die and it doesn’t necessarily mean physical death, but rather, it means us sacrificing daily our fleshly man for the sake of maintaining our oneness with Christ. When this becomes our life’s pattern, His desires will then become our own desires, prompting us to act in faith by way of evangelism, to the conversion of souls of men from being worthless weeds destined for destruction, into valuable, life carrying and seed-bearing fruits by the help of the Holy Spirit. This is what bearing fruit and feeding the nations is all about (Jn 15:1-17). It is one of the clearest ways by which the sincerity of our love for God is proven. Just like Jesus asked Peter to sacrifice his life for the sake of feeding the church, He is also asking us today to give up ordinary fishing (pursuing things that appeal to the flesh) and instead become fishers of men by feeding them with the Word of God (Matt 4:19 Matt 28:19, Jn 14:15, Jn 21:16-19). Go into today, denying the flesh for the sake of Christ and as you do so, your life will become an epistle that will feed men with the life of God until they receive salvation. —Chibo E.C.

THE KINGDOM REWARD SYSTEM

Some have said that as long as they escape hell fire, they are fine, they do not need any reward. Some have even wrongly quoted David by saying they would rather be a doorkeeper in God’s house than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. They fail to realize that in this, the psalmist was talking about service in God’s house (Doorkeepers are servants) — service for which an eternal reward would be due. Anyone who tries to downplay the reality of service and reward in the kingdom of God does this because he does not understand the kingdom. Many of the times Jesus taught about the kingdom of God, He taught about service and reward in the kingdom (Matt 5:12, Luke 19:11-27, Matt 25:14-30, etc). Somebody once argued that seeing the kingdom of God was the same thing as inheriting the kingdom of God. I simply asked if the word ‘see’ and the word ‘inherit’ mean the same thing. On the day when we believers will stand before the Lord to give an account of our stewardship here on earth, some will receive rewards while some others will suffer loss. Some will sit with the Lord on thrones and rule the universe with Him forever, but others will not have that privilege. They will suffer loss because even though it was their destiny as sons of God to inherit the kingdom of God [as joint heirs with Christ], their work has disqualified them from their inheritance and thrones. They would be saved but would have lost their inheritance through the fire of judgment. Go into today remembering that how we spend our relatively short time here would determine how we would spend the rest of eternity. —SD Abraham Not yet saved?

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU BUILD 3

And the fire will test what kind of work each has done. Samuel was discouraged because even though he had a burning desire to serve God, he did not believe he had received any grace to serve God from the pulpit. He tried, but he realized that he did not have grace to serve in that way. It took him time to realize that even though he did not have a pulpit, he had a platform, and his platform was as important to God as a pulpit. Daniel (in the Bible) never had a pulpit, but he fulfilled God’s assignment for his life through a circular platform. He could do this because he understood that even though he was in the world, he was not of the world. Whatever it is you are doing as a believer, you are building something and you will give account for it before the Lord on that day. How do we build on the foundation? We build on the foundation by ministering to people according to the grace that has been given to us (see Rom 12:6-9). As believers, we have gifts that differ according to the grace that has been given to us (see Rom 12:6). The way we serve with these gifts determines what we are building with. Go into today remembering that whether you know it or not, your life is building something that will be tried on that day. Prayer: ask the Lord to help you live a life that pleases Him in all respects. —SD Abraham Not yet saved?

And the fire will test what kind of work each has done. Chris didn’t want to fail in ministry so he started employing methods he knew were not acceptable to the Lord, but these methods made him successful according to the standards of the world. He was no more concerned about the souls of men that the Lord sent him to but was only now concerned about his reputation and his honor. He had a dream and the Lord rebuked him and showed him how far from the plan he had wandered. He knew he had to undo many things he had done and destroy many systems he had established. But he knew that that was the only way his service was going to be acceptable before the Lord. When the focus of the minister shifts from building up people to building up an earthly empire, that minister has started building with material that will be consumed on the day of judgment. Go into today asking the Lord to help you build according to His will. Ask the Lord to show you every way you may be building wrongly and help you to correct it. —SD Abraham Not yet saved?

GOD’S BUILDING PROJECT

The first time I started handling construction projects as a young civil engineer, one of the things I quickly observed was that a construction project is not better than the skill of the craftsmen responsible. No matter how good an engineer is, if he has poorly skilled workers, his work will not come out very well. I also observed that among craftsmen, those who are exceptionally good are usually good in certain selected aspects of their trade where they are exceptional. For example, even though every Mason can do certain basic things like laying blocks, setting concrete, etc. There are certain masons that are particularly good at plastering walls. Even though these masons may also be good in laying blocks and foundation, they are particularly exceptional in plastering walls, and that is the service they have great demand for. I observed that workmen who found their special areas of strength and focused on it were the ones who were always busy because of high demand. Paul knew that His job in God’s building project was to lay foundations, and this he did and focused on. Remember that he previously explained to the Corinthians that he (and other ministers ministering to them were God’s workers) and they (the Corinthian brethren ministered to) were God’s building (see 1 Cor 3:9). Paul is now making it clear that there is no other foundation but Christ. That was why he said earlier that he chose to know nothing among them but Christ and Him crucified (see 1 Cor 2:2). Go into today remembering that the most important part of any building is its foundation. Anyone who does not accept the Lordship of Christ [over his life] is not saved. This is the foundation of every other thing in the kingdom.Ask the Lord to help you identify and focus on your specialty in God’s building project. —SD Abraham Prayer: ask the Lord to deliver you from distractions and help you always walk in His will.

And each one must be careful how he builds. As Ebele grew in the knowledge of the Lord, he realized that he also grew in grace. He also realized that the Lord opened greater doors for him to do greater things. But because he had learned his lesson, he was careful not to get involved in things that he wasn’t sure the Lord was leading him to do. This training and carefulness kept him from many distractions that the devil sent his way to weary him. The devil does not usually distract Good people with bad and evil things. He usually distracts Good them with good and noble things, but these things are not what they have received grace to do. He does this because he knows that no matter how good your intentions are, and no matter how noble they are, if it is kingdom work, you would only be wasting your time if you start building without first receiving a pattern from the Lord. Your hard work and labor will not amount to much and would not be a great threat to the kingdom of darkness if the work you are doing was not ordained by the Lord for you to do. Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles, but it was not every gentile nation that the Lord was leading Him to. Go into today remembering that grace always flows in the direction of God’s will. When a person gives himself an assignment because of sheer passion without heavenly sanction, he would have to continue in his strength. This is why there are many fallen soldiers. —SD Abraham Prayer: ask the Lord to deliver you from distractions and help you always walk in His will. Not yet saved?

ACCORDING TO THE GRACE GIVEN
1 Corinthians 3:10 (NET) According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master-builder I laid a foundation, but someone else builds on it. And each one must be careful how he builds. For several months, Ebele was almost getting frustrated in ministry because even though he got people to accept the Lord Jesus, he found that many of them were not growing at all, and because of this, many went back to the world. But as Ebele grew in ministry, he realized that the grace given to him had to do more with laying the foundation than building on the foundation. Others had been given the grace to build on the foundation and he now learned to create accommodate their ministry. He became much more effective in ministry when he stopped laboring in areas the Lord has not given him the grace. In accordance with the grace that was given him, Apostle Paul laid the foundation of God’s building work (of souls) in Corinth, and others built on it. He understood his grace and walked within its ambit. It is important for us as ministers of the gospel to know the kind of grace given to us and walk within the ambit of that grace. Many people have walked as though they were not anointed because they did not discern and walk within the ambit of the grace they received. It is like a fish struggling to run on land like a squirrel. There is somebody reading this devotional and you are saying to yourself that “as far as ministry is concerned, I am an amphibian. I can do all things in ministry”. I would love to refer you to Romans 12:3. Go into today asking the Lord to help you know and walk within the ambit of your grace. —SD Abraham Not yet saved?
