A certain man bought a piece of land from a seller, but unknown to him, that same piece of land was sold to someone else by fraudsters. When it was time for him to start building, he was met with fierce opposition and big conflict. This was the case until after two years, he obtained a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) and was able to silence his opposition and occupy his land with it. As the C of O (a government-issued document) is to certify building compliance and indicate the suitability of its condition for occupancy, so also is faith [a spiritual evidence], to certify our compliance in upholding God’s law and our eligibility to occupy all that God has qualified us to inherit by grace (Heb 11:1, Rom 3:31, Col 1:12). Unless we act in faith, our wicked adversary will remain dominant, making it unsuitable for us to occupy our inheritance, as we would constantly be in a struggle with him over what is rightfully ours in Christ. God isn’t inspired by the duration of time we have spent in a situation or by the volume of our tears shed, rather, He is pleased by our act of faith which comes by us hearing His Word. And by it, He releases His power to help us occupy (Heb 11:6, Rom 10:17, 2 Thess 1:11b). Go into today motivated to hear and meditate on the word of God. As you do so, faith will come alive within you to give power to your utterances in order to uproot enemy shanties from your life and supply grace to occupy your divine allotment (Mk 11:23, Acts 20:32). —Chibo E.C.

MIND OF CHRIST

But we have the mind of Christ. Even though Evan’s best friend was his dog, he was still so lonely and depressed because he had no true human friends. As great a friend of man as dogs are, they do not have the mind of man. They have the mind of dogs and cannot give their humans sound counsel. Unlike other animals, one reason people find it so easy to love their dogs is because their dogs have faith in them. Without faith in one another, friendship is difficult. God created man in His image and after His likeness. Because of this, man has the ability to have the mind of God and be the friend of God. Being a friend of God is an awesome privilege, one that the devil fears you will ever have. But that is what God wants for you. He doesn’t just want to visit you from time to time or through [ever so few] encounters, He wants to come and make His abode with you(see John 14:23). But this privilege has eluded many because many do not have the mind of Christ. This mind is one of total obedience and submission to God’s authority. It is one that obeys totally because of faith in God. Little wonder Abraham was the friend of God. He was a man yielded to the authority of God because he believed in God. He knew God wanted the best for him. Go into today knowing that you can be a friend of God. The secret is having the mind of Christ.

Have you ever faced circumstances so against you that you felt all hope was lost and that deliverance was impossible? Well, you are not the first. In the Bible, we find a number of people who found themselves in same circumstances and felt the same way you did/do. Elisha’s servant was one of such persons. In the text above, they had just been compassed about by horses, chariots and a great host of the Syrian army. It seemed like their numbers were up; like they should start saying their last prayers. His heart had melted, till he cried, “Alas, my master! how shall we do?”. Elisha answered that there be more with us than with them, therefore do not fear. There is something these saints of old knew and understood, we must have that same understanding if we must walk in the victories that they walked in Now hear Hebrews 12:22 “But ye are come to mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” We have an innumerable company of angels at work for us. They are sent to minister for us (Heb 1:14), He gives his angels charge over us, to keep us in all our ways (Psalms 91:10-12). It is why you find that in 2nd Kings 6:17 when the eyes of Elisha’s servant was opened he saw angels as chariots of fire round about them, and their deliverance was wrought by the ministry of angels. Have this understanding, fear not! Regardless of circumstances, we have the advantage, always.—Ikechukwu Mpama Download Sermons Here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Bible Yearly: Luke 7-8 (Available in Today’s Audio) Streamglobe is nondenominational.

IMMUNE TO JUDGMENT
If you wish to be getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio Directly from us on WhatsApp, join our international WhatsApp Group Here☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/J8GlcbvZRYd8KiIwy4RMKo Download Today’s Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1662 1 Corinthians 2:15 (NKJV) But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. When the Lord said ‘judge not’ in Matthew 7:1, He was talking to His disciples, and the context was a Christian disciple judging another disciple. That Sermon [on the mount] started in Matthew 5 after His disciples came up the mountain to meet Him (see Matt 5:1). in the sermon, He instructed them not to judge one another, that was why he said if you see a spec in “your brother’s” eye. the context here is “your brother” not “your neighbor”, indicating that He is talking to disciples. Today’s Bible verse reveals that even though the spiritual man has the ability to judge all things, no one has the ability to rightly judge him. For indeed, those who would be counted worthy to inherit the kingdom of Christ and reign with Him would also judge all men and even the angels (see 1 Cor 6:2-3). But even they are not qualified to judge each other correctly, no one is. The only Person able to judge them is their Lord and master (see Rom 14:4). This applies to spiritual believers and not carnal believers because walking in the flesh excludes a believer from immunity to judgment and condemnation (see Rom 8:1 in KJV, Rom 8:13). Before Satan can afflict anyone, he must first have grounds for judgment and condemnation against him. These grounds do not exist for the spiritual man (whose life is ruled by the Holy Spirit). Even if a spiritual man falls, he rises again and does not stay there and create grounds for judgment. Go into today remembering that there is no judgment and condemnation for the spiritual man. The only thing that can make him walk in a way deserving of judgment is when he becomes carnal by continuing to unrepentantly walk in the flesh. Prayer: Lord, please help me to always walk in the Spirit. —SD Abraham Download Sermons Here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Bible Yearly: Jeremiah 47-52 (Available in Today’s Audio) Streamglobe is nondenominational.

KEEP THE FIRE BURNING 4

If a man would give for love All the wealth of his house, It would be utterly despised. Until Joe was trained and had the opportunity to work in a refinery, he always wondered why its flare stack stayed lit. This fire was strong and glowed from afar in such a way that even the strongest of winds or the heaviest of rains couldn’t put it off. Though fed by an obsolete and environmentally unfriendly process, its burning heat meant that the refinery operated in safety while it transformed raw crude oil into refined products. Our Bible text likens love to an unquenchable flame. It is the greatest and the most powerful force in the whole universe. It is also the most important flame in the life of a believer which must never go out if he desires to fulfill God’s purpose (1 Cor 13:13, 1Jn 4:16, Jn 15:9-10). However, as powerful as love is in the life of a believer, there’s an enemy who can weaken its power if he succeeds in supplanting it with a counterfeit known as lust. By this deception and temptation, the flame of love in a believer can wax cold, with sin as the main fire suppressant (Matt 24:12, Jam 1:14-15). Also, believers cannot successfully carry out the great commission without first satisfying the great commandment (Matt 28:19, John 15:17). The former is what we have been chosen to do, while the latter is our required disposition, through which we can achieve the former successfully. Go into today, determined to act in love in all you do, holding on to God’s word as the real standard on what true love is (1Cor 13:1-13). —Chibo E.C. Not yet saved?

A Pastor on a journey happened to pass by an old derelict steel company. As he did, he began to wonder what became of its fiery furnace now lying cold, what happened to its workers, what happened to its societal role in processing metals for industrial purposes, and what are the economic implications due to its shut down? When analyzing these thoughts from the perspective of his own life’s lamp, he eventually had to re-examine himself. Many have reached great heights and have done exploits in their walk with God only for them to deviate and fall away when they move away from the simple, pure and unchanging Gospel to focus on other activities, all in the name of ministry (Rev 2:4). While many of these activities are beneficial in edifying and promoting the faith of believers, the main focus must remain on the reaching out to and bringing dead souls back to life through preaching the Gospel (Matt 28:19-20). From our scriptural text, we must go back to our true assignment of being a light in leading the lost to Christ, instead of being distracted by seemingly good activities, otherwise, we risk losing our usefulness to God and live in danger of being replaced whilst holding on to religious titles, supposing we are still on track (1 Sam 2:30;35, 1 Sam 15:13-29, Matt 5:13). Go out into the world today and tell others about Jesus Christ and His saving grace and as you do so, your light will continue to shine for all eternity (Dan 12:3). —Chibo E.C. Not yet saved?

During a fire safety class, several methods of putting out fires (in the absence of experienced firefighters) were demonstrated. One of such methods employed was a fire blanket whose function was to suffocate and stop the fire from receiving oxygen which will eventually lead to it being extinguished. As we grow in our walk with God, it becomes clear, as our verse of scripture indicates that we must strive to see that we keep our flames burning. By reason of man’s fall, there exists already, a blanket cast over all nations, that chokes the lamps of all men to death through sin, until one comes to Christ (Isa 25:7-8). This blanket is the blanket of ignorance in the knowledge of the Word (Hos 4:6), which then results in a foolishness, that smothers one’s sensitivity to the Spirit, thereby quenching one’s spiritual fire. This same effect was what according to the scriptures, made certain virgins miss out on an invited wedding feast, as a result of their lamps going out (Matt 25:8). On the contrary, the oxygen that fuels our fire is wisdom gotten from the knowledge of the Word of God. Our spirit is the lamp through which God reaches out to us (Pro 20:27) and not investing time in fueling it with oxygen is like us walking with a blanket over our lamps. Keeping our flames burning means we must daily fan our fire by studying, understanding, meditating and practicing what God’s word says. It is our responsibility to see to it, that it is not quenched, as if we don’t, we risk being in danger of missing out on God’s kingdom. Go into today feeding the fire of your spirit with the Word of God and as you do so, your path will get brighter till you reach your desired destination (Ps 119:105). —Chibo E.C.

He will not put out even the weakest flame. He will bring true justice. Many start off with great zeal and a lot of energy for God’s work, but then they reach a point where their fire grows dim and teeters on the verge of being put off. Our verse of scripture wants us to take comfort and be encouraged by the fact that though this may be the case, God is still able to revive and reignite our fire (Ps 18:28). God is compassionate and loving. He knows and understands our frame and has not called us to undertake tasks beyond that which we’re able to handle or bear, but is willing to help us despite our weakness, so that we can glow even brighter for Him (Ps 103:13-14, 1Cor 10:13, 2 Cor 12:9). Our Lord Jesus Christ was at a place called Gethsemane when He experienced anguish in His soul. It was there that He prayed to the Father, saying “not My will but Yours be done”. The Bible records that after that, an angel (flames of fire (Heb 1:7)) strengthened Him. Afterward, He went on to fulfill God’s redemption plan for mankind (Lk 22:39-44). Unlike our Lord Jesus, our burn outs are as a result us of working in the strength of the law or the flesh, instead of relying wholly on the Holy Spirit (Gal 3, 10). Some signs of this burn out include: weakened prayer life, less study (and meditation) of the Word, less enthusiasm for evangelism and fellowship, etc. What then should be our response if this is what we’re experiencing? Our response must be like that of Jesus; to retreat to a place of prayer and ask God to rekindle and strengthen His fire in us by the Holy Spirit (Acts 4:31). Ask God today to reignite your fire afresh so that your light will shine for the world to see, overcoming every darkness and bringing glory to God (Matt 5:16). —Chibo E.C.

MATURITY AND DISCERNMENT 2

Before Ugochukwu became a believer, all his friends were unbelievers. But when he became a believer, they were no longer comfortable with him because his speech and lifestyle changed drastically. When they realized he was not planning to go back to the world, they all left him. He became very lonely because he had no more friends. He prayed to the Lord to give him new friends who would help and encourage him in the faith. The Lord answered his prayer after he joined the evangelism unit in church. He met people that truly loved the Lord and understood the scriptures. They could sit down for hours discussing scripture and sharing life experiences. As Ugochukwu grew in the knowledge of the Lord, he was not only sensitive to the things that weakened him spiritually, he was also sensitive to the things that strengthened and sharpened him spiritually. He now realized that spending time with brethren and discussing the word (even over the barbecue) was not just ‘hanging out’, it was an important spiritual activity that strengthened and sharpened him. He later discovered that it gave the Lord great pleasure when his people sit down together to discuss his word(He started taking these meetings seriously. As you grow spiritually, you will discern the things and habits that are not good for you that you previously thought were harmless. You will also discern things you do that are really good for your spirit. This is because spiritual growth increases our sensitivity in the spirit. This is different from sin conscious. Spiritually mature people are sure of what is wrong and what is right. But sin consciousness is usually because people are not sure. Go into today asking the Lord to help you grow in discernment and grace. —SD Abraham Bible Yearly: Galatians 1-3 (Available in Today’s Audio) Streamglobe is nondenominational.

MATURITY AND DISCERNMENT

Even though Ugochukwu had deleted all the inappropriate and unwholesome videos and music on his smartphone after he believed, he still watched many movies and didn’t see anything wrong with them since there was no outright pornography on them. But as he grew spiritually, he started observing that each time he watched certain movies, they made him become weaker, or make him bring down his guard. As he continued to grow, he started seeing that certain movies were not harmless as he previously thought, but were dangerous for his spirit. He stopped watching such movies. When he was still a baby in the faith, he knew that pornography was bad for his soul and he now avoided like a plague. But his discernment was not strong enough to see that many of the other movies he used to watch were also not good for his soul. But as he grew, he saw it and obeyed the prompting of the Holy Spirit to stop watching them. Many believers have not grown spiritually because they do not obey such promptings, but wish to continue to please the flesh at the expense of the spirit’s growth. One of the most profound signs of spiritual maturity is the ability to discern. As you grow in the Spirit, you grow in your ability to discern right from wrong; good from evil. See Hebrews 5:14. When a believer is carnal or fleshly, he is considered to be a spiritual baby. But when the believer becomes spiritual and no more carnal, it is a product of spiritual maturity. As you grow spiritually, you will become more discerning and spiritually sensitive. Many things you considered as benign will become clear to you as either good for you or bad for you. —SD Abraham Bible Yearly: Luke 5-6 (Available in Today’s Audio) Streamglobe is nondenominational.
