SPIRITUAL LIBERTY 3
Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1564 2 Timothy 3:7 (KJV) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Spiritual liberty has been paid for by the Lord Christ, but it has to be received by believers. Those who become disciples are those who can know the truth and receive this liberty (see John 8:31-32). Like those in 2 Tim 3:7, there are believers who are always learning but never able to arrive at the knowledge of the truth that brings freedom because there are things actively preventing them from this. In the case of those in 2 Tim 3:7, it was false teachers who encouraged license. In the case of the Galatians, it was false teachers who taught salvation by works. Paul was so troubled by this. He said this to the Galatians: You were running well; who prevented you from obeying the truth? (Galatians 5:7 (NET)) Unfortunately, because of false doctrines, many believers have been hindered from arriving at the knowledge of the Truth. There are basically two kinds of corrupted gospels currently actively hindering believers from attaining the knowledge of the truth. The first is the gospel of ‘works for salvation’. This tries to downplay the work of Christ for the salvation of the believer. It tells people that there are things they need to do in order to pay for their salvation. The second kind of false gospel is the gospel of license. This tries to downplay the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming the believer into the image of Christ. It suggests that believers can continue in sin because grace abounds. Go into today remembering that anyone who subscribes to any of these corrupted gospels will not come to the knowledge of the truth. He will not be free indeed, but will remain a slave to sin and all other works of the devil. -Pastor SD Abraham Yearly Bible Reading: I Corinthians 1-2 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Nondenominational.

SPIRITUAL LIBERTY 2
Download Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1563 Isaiah 10:27 (NIV) 27 In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. As Laide started applying her heart to the word of God and allowing it transform her by the renewing of her mind, she observed that she started knowing the Lord and was now able to discern His will(Rom 12:2). She also observed that because of this, she was now too big for the chains that held her bound in the past. The yokes in her life were now broken because she had grown spiritually too fat for them. This spiritual fatness came because she had been feasting on the word of God (she continued in His word). Jesus told those who believed in Him that if they continued in His word, they would be His disciples indeed, and then they would know the truth, and the truth will set them free (see John 8:31-32). Those who continue in His word are those who are truly the Lord’s disciples, and they are the ones who can know Him who is the Truth (see John 14:6, 1 John 5:6). This knowledge brings spiritual liberty. The Truth is a reality that is only encountered in [the knowledge of] Christ. This is eternal life; it is the reality that makes all other things but shadows in the light of His presence. Go into today remembering that abiding in His word and letting it change the way you think is the way to know Him and walk in spiritual liberty. Prayer: Ask the Lord to expose you to more resources that will help you abide in His word and grow in the knowledge of The Truth. -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Matthew 20-22 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Nondenominational.

SPIRITUAL LIBERTY 1
Download Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1562 John 8:31-32 (KJV) 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. What perplexed Laide was how some people who were believers and committed to the church were still under demonic yokes and ancestral bondages. For example, her uncle was a minister in a Pentecostal church, but he died mysteriously. It was later rumored in their village that he was killed by some witches who had a connection with his family. These kinds of things were happening. Laide herself believed in Jesus, but she was not truly free. Her life was a battle. Demons still had power over her. Jesus told certain Jews who believed in him that if they continued in His word, then they would be His disciples, and then they would know the truth, and the truth will set them free. Remember that Jesus introduced himself as the Truth in John 14:6 (also see John 5:6). These Jews were people who believed in Jesus already, but like Laide, they were not yet free. They were not yet free from the power of sin [and death]; they were not yet free from bondages of the past. Jesus gave them the remedy. He told them to continue in His word. This was how they would become his disciples, and only His disciples can truly know Him (the Truth; the reality). Disciples are those who have been converted from goats to sheep; they are those transformed by the renewing of their mind through the word (Rom 12:2). They are those who obey their Lord in all things. 1 John 2:4 (KJV) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (To be continued) Go into today desiring to grow in your knowledge of the Lord.

DYNAMICS OF DECLARING GOD’S WORD
Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1561 Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. I watched as a little girl interacted with their housemaid with regards to watching the television. When no one was looking, the maid who normally would not hang around in the sitting room would change the channel to a program of her choice, and if the little girl requested to watch cartoons, the maid would just hush her to keep quiet. This was the case until the little girl got fed up and went to her parents’ room. When she came out, she declared boldly “Daddy said you should change the channel to my cartoon program”. It was as though her daddy spoke. For as the words left the little girl’s mouth, the maid immediately changed the channel and quickly left the sitting room. The Greek word for “two-edged” used in qualifying God’s Word in our scripture text is “distomos”, which literally means “two mouthed”. The Word of God must flow from God’s mouth as it is written, through our own mouths for its transforming power to be physically seen in our lives or that of others. Speaking idle words will see us hushed and mocked at by the enemy, but if just like the little girl, we enter into God’s presence and by faith, declare God’s Word with authority (Isa 55:11, 2Cor 4:13), the enemy has no choice but to comply, release all that belongs to us and flee. Go into today remembering that Understanding this dynamic is crucial to our being able to enforce our rights in Christ over contrary circumstances. -Chibo E.C.

THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD 3
Download Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1560 Ephesians 5:3 (KJV) 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; What would you do if you paid some money into a contractor’s account for a building project and instead he uses the money to set up a plantain plantation? Certainly, you won’t be all smiles, and neither will you be giving him a bear hug, simply because the money was never his to spend as he wishes. In the same vein, your body is not your own, you have been bought with a price (1 Cor 6:18, 19). Your body belongs to God and He has said that it is not for fornication (1 Cor 6:13) and that fornication should not be once named among us saints. In Galatians 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:3-5 and Col 3:3-5, the Bible warns believers not to give themselves to fornication/sexual sins, warning that those who give themselves to and practice these things have no inheritance in the Kingdom of God. The scripture instructs the believer on how to walk in victory over these. Gal 5:16 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. To walk in the Spirit is to walk in the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-25), so walk in love and not in lust. Also, guard your heart. Prov 4:23 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. a. Guard it by the word of God (Psalm 119:9 Rom 12:2) Give yourself to the word and allow it renew your mind. b. Guard it by cutting off wrong influences (1 Cor 5:9-11; Matt 5:27-30, 1 Cor 15;33) It is a scriptural prescription that we keep no company with a believer who is given to fornication (see 1 Cor 5:11). Go into today knowing that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and that is not for fornication, but rather for serving God. -Ikechukwu Mpama Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Judges 12-16 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

[8] For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; In the Bible account of the exploits of Daniel (Daniel 2:10-49), we see that as a child of God, Daniel already possessed wisdom ten times better than all the king’s magicians (Dan 1:17-20) and was already operating in wisdom towards the king and his guards (Dan 2:14-16) when suddenly, a problem came that required a special kind of wisdom. He and his companions sought God earnestly for its manifestation (Dan 2:17-23). Many believers feel that being baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues is all that there is to the Power and Wisdom of God. In salvation we obtained an innate wisdom to solve life’s problems (Prv 9:10, 1Cor1:30 ), but there are special problems that would require a unique and special manifestation of God’s wisdom for their solution and is for this kind of wisdom we deliberately desire, prepare and ask God for in prayer (Acts 19:8-12, Mk 9:20-29, 1Cor 14:1). Even the disciples, after Pentecost, prayed for this special display of wisdom (Acts 4:24-31). Since the Gospel remains unchanged, it is therefore scriptural and inseparable to our great commission that we desire wisdom to miraculously solve special problems, so that we might win over the unsaved just like the disciples did (Mk 6:2, Mk 16:15-18). Today, decide not to be complacent but instead desire, pray for, and live a godly life conducive for the Holy Spirit to manifest His wisdom and power through. -Chibo E.C. Not yet saved?

In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another. The sense in which sexual sins are different from others is that it violates the sacredness of your body. It is about the believer’s body, it is about your body being the temple of the Holy Spirit. It is the crux of the matter; your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor 6:19 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? God doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands (Acts 7:7:48), he now indwells the believer through the person of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16, 17; 1 John 4:4). You have been bought with a price, that price is the life/blood of Jesus. The Old Testament law was strict and stringent on the honoring/defilement of the tabernacle/temple and transgression then could be met with death. The sin/act of fornication is a spiritual mystery that transcends just the physical, a joining of sorts occurs when you engage in sexual intercourse (1 Cor 6:16 MSG). When you engage in sexual intercourse outside the provisions of God; WHICH IS MARRIAGE, you violate his command, circumvent his wisdom and defile His temple. When you take your body and join it with another, you are taking that which belongs to God and using it unlawfully; you are abusing the temple of the Holy Spirit. Go into today knowing that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and that keeping it undefiled is the will of God. -Ikechukwu Mpama Not yet saved?

The text above clearly refutes that erroneous and false teaching. Have you noticed that even though we are asked to resist the devil (James 4:7), and to take our stand against principalities and powers (Eph 6:12-18), we are asked to flee fornication/sexual sins? It should interest you to know that when we resist the devil he flees away from us, but we are the ones charged to flee from this work of the flesh. But what exactly is fornication you might ask. The word fornication is translated in the New Testament mostly from the Greek word porneia. It refers to illicit sexual intercourse, such as adultery, sexual intercourse between two unmarried people, homosexuality, lesbianism, and intercourse with animals. Some Bible versions simply call it sexual immorality. What’s more, the New Testament is replete with warnings/instructions concerning this. Here are some of them: Acts 15:20 & 29 says to abstain from fornication, 1 Corinthians 5:9 says to keep no company with a fornicator, 1 Corinthians 6:18 says to flee fornication, 1 Corinthians 10:8 says to ‘neither let us commit adultery’, Ephesians 5:3 says let it not once be named among us believers, Colossians 3:5 (TLB) says to have nothing to do with sexual sins, 1 Thessalonians 4:3 charges us to abstain from fornication, and 2 Timothy 2:22 says to flee youthful lusts. Go into today armed with the understanding that it is God’s will for you to abstain from sexual sins. -Ikechukwu Mpama Not yet saved?

One way Bimpe knew she was falling spiritually was that she could no longer pray the way she always prayed. She also observed that she no longer had the strength to do the spiritual things she used to do before. She used to be very committed to evangelism and follow up. There were certain young girls she used to actively pray for and follow up, but she found that she now considered all these an unbearable burden. Added to this, something happened that showed her how spiritually impoverished she had become. She was confronted by a colleague who was involved in the occult, and she found that she was deeply afraid of his threats because there was no more power in her spirit. This was unthinkable when she was still in the country. Such people feared her and some of them became her converts. Bimpe also observed that new temptations and lusts started becoming stronger and stronger in her heart. This was when she knew she had to take decisive action. She left that new church and took out some time to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting. She made up her mind that the demonic powers and rulers in the city would not reduce her to a loaf of bread. She went back to her old sermon notes and revised her understanding of the kingdom of God the way she once and for all received it. This was how she was saved from the corruption of that city that had reduced many believers to spiritually powerless noisemakers. Go into today asking the Lord to deliver you from everything that seeks to reduce you and render you fruitless in your pursuit of the knowledge of God (see 2 Pet 1:8). -SD Abraham Not yet saved?

Before she got to the city, she had received Christ as her Lord and Savior and was growing and having a very fruitful walk with the Lord. But as she started attending this new church, she realized that what they were teaching was different from what she had always known about Christ and His kingdom. It sounded really exciting and comforting to the flesh, but she was not comfortable because these teachings were contrary to the ones that got her saved and established in Christ. After experiencing serious leanness in her soul because she started following these doctrines, it was clear to her that she was now following the wrong teachers. Colossians 2:8 (KJV) says: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. This is becoming increasingly popular today. Many people have been deceived by doctrines based on human philosophy and tradition. Their understanding of God’s kingdom has been shaped by human tradition. They forget that God’s ways are not man’s ways (Isaiah 55:8). For example, what good father would allow his only son to suffer and die the way Jesus did? Using human logic and tradition, it would be difficult to believe in the divinity and sacrifice of Jesus. Those who try to use human logic and traditions to understand the kingdom of God will end up in very serious errors. Go into today remembering that you are to continue in Christ the way you received him. Avoid new ‘highly logical’ doctrines that contradict the foundational teachings that established you in the faith. -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Isaiah 34-39 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.
