For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Many building plans and great architectural designs are in existence today for mansions, skyscrapers, flats, etc.. One thing of note to consider among other considerations such as land ownership, funding, government laws, land consolidation, etc, which also have their own determining effect is that regardless of how good these plans may look on paper, they remain plans and may never translate into concrete structures unless their actual construction is done on-site by builders. God’s plans for us are good, and in this hope, we joyfully anticipate its fulfillment (Jeremiah 29:11). One is that we become His spiritual house (1Corinthians 3:9-17, 1Peter 2:5, Ephesians 2:19-22). Another, is that we do not end up as unfulfilled destinies or wasted potentials (Philippians 1:6). Still, another is that we live godly lives in hopes of one day translating into glorious beings Christ appears (John 14:2-3, 1 John 3:2) However, like any building plan on paper, God’s plans for us will remain just plans and will not automatically come to pass in our lives unless we cooperate with it and work it by faith till it becomes tangible. Our scriptural text tells us that it is our daily and continued fear of God, that is, our everyday worship through faith and obedience to His Word, that ensures that our lives accomplish His will and do not end up as uncompleted projects. Therefore in fulfilling God’s perfect plan, we must first of all surrender our lives totally to Him (Romans 12:1-2), trust in Him as our firm foundation and then progressively build our lives by faith, using His precious promises (1Corinthians 3:11-13, 2Peter 1:3-4, Hebrews 11:1-3). Go into today in the continued fear of the Lord and be sure that you’ll arrive at your expected end. -Chibo E.C.

SAFEGUARDING OUR HARVEST

Let my crops be pulled up by the roots. Imagine the devastating effects of wildfires on farmers and their farmlands. It makes for a total waste of time, effort, resources and ultimately loss of profits. Therefore, in order to prevent such disastrous losses and ensure harvest, farmers make great efforts to invest in mitigation strategies, some of which include having fences, caution signs, etc. The eyes are one of the gates by which spiritual wildfires are lit or by which devourers of harvest gain access to one’s life. For instance, the willful and careless viewing of sexually explicit materials, leads to ignition of lustful flames in one’s heart, which if not put off, ultimately leads to sexual sins, whose nature are such that they burn up and uproot one’s harvest, without a trace of his prior efforts (Job 31:9-12, James 1:14-15). Believers are laborers or farmers in God’s vineyard and are supposed to reap harvest (2Timothy 2:6). If after our labor, we then allow ourselves to fall prey to sexual sins by what we look at, we condemn ourselves to judgment and shame (Proverbs 6:32-33). Therefore, we must ensure we are not bereft of caution regarding the ever increasing temptation of sexual sin, but that we must at all times, turn our eyes away from lust evoking objects (Job 31:1, Mark 9:47) and focus it firmly on God’s word (Hebrews 12:2). Make a covenant today with your eyes not to give objects of sin a second glance. As you do so, your harvest which you have labored and waited for will surely be yours.-Chibo E.C.

BEING ALERT
Join Our WhatsApp Group to Start Getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio Every Day. Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1542 Colossians 4:2(NET) 2 Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. A mother observed that her baby became very sickly and would start crying uncontrollably around a particular time of the night. She had done everything she could do medically, but the situation did not improve. As she began to pray more fervently and became devoted to prayer, one of the nights, around the time her baby would begin to cry, she fell into a trance and saw a figure dressed in white entering the room and going towards her baby. As the figure drew closer, she sensed the darkness of its presence even though it was dressed in white. She knew that it was an evil spirit. She immediately woke up from the trance, and with the authority of Christ she cast out that evil spirit and instructed it never to come back again. That was the last day her baby was afflicted. Many times, believers have been unnecessarily afflicted and troubled because they were not spiritually alert. A spiritually alert person will sense when something going on is a result of demonic activity and will be able to cast out the demons. A spiritually alert believer will be more discerning in spirit than the believer who is not spiritually alert. As a believer, you should pray all the time and you should also have times when you pray. This is how to be devoted to prayer, and this is how your spiritual senses become alert. Believers who never take out time to pray regularly are generally spiritually weaker and less alert. Go into today remembering that the way to be spiritually alert is by being devoted to prayer and thanksgiving. -Pastor SD Abraham Not yet saved? click here☞ http://bit.ly/beSaved2 Yearly Bible Reading: Matthew 11-13 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

THE LORD’S BUSINESS
Join Our WhatsApp Group to Start Getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio Every Day. Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1540 Luke 2:49 (KJV)And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? All businesses have workers, each having individual roles different from their corporate and central role of aligning with the vision, identity and goals of the business. Therefore, the ability of a business to grow and remain profitable will largely depend on the continued belief in it by its workers, as well as their efficacy in utilizing time, efforts, skills and experience towards growth. When some in the Bible made inquiries on how they could do God’s work, Jesus simply told them that doing God’s work is them believing on Him, the Messiah (See John 6:28-29). So now, our individual and collective roles in God’s business becomes us ‘believing in Christ and in turn showing Him to others for them to also believe in Him’ (John 20:31, Acts 16:30-31). This “Believing” is our positive response to God’s saving grace through Christ Jesus, and our outward confession and continued walk of faith in Him. Because on our own, we cannot run God’s business effectively like Jesus did while He was on earth, He gave us a Helper (The Holy Spirit), Who part of His work is to convict sin and help us turn into believers, those who still live in unbelief; live in sin (John 16:7-9, Acts 1:8). God also desires that His business be rich in profit and so He won’t tolerate lazy, idle or ghost workers who only want benefits without any commitment to His business (Revelation 3:15-16). This means that as handlers of God’s business, we must always be at our duty posts, diligently working and improving our abilities in helping others believe (Romans 12:11, 2Peter 1:5-10). Today, regardless of our diverse vocations, let the business of making others see and believe in Jesus always be central to what we are found doing. -Chibo E.C.Not yet saved? click here☞ http://bit.ly/beSaved2 Yearly Bible Reading: Isaiah 23-28 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

MINISTRY IN THE MARKETPLACE 2

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1540 Colossians 4:5-6 (NLT)5 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. As a businessman, Mayowa was also a very effective prophet and evangelist to people he had personal dealings with. He knew how to make the most of opportunities, and he was wise in the way he did this. He understood that he was on a mission in the marketplace, so he was very careful with the things he said. He ensured that his words were always seasoned with salt; he spoke no idle words, but spoke well calculated words that wisely conveyed the wisdom (salt) of God’s kingdom. He also had a very attractive and gracious personality. People who dealt with him were interested in what he had to say because of this. Having the pilgrim’s mindset was the reason Mayowa was not subdued by the corruption and love of mammon he met in the ‘marketplace’. As believers in Christ Jesus, one mentality we must always have is that we are pilgrims in this world, and no matter where God has placed us, we are representatives of Christ. This is our first and most important assignment. It even trumps making money for the businessman. This is the only way to be effective in fulfilling our kingdom mandate and assignments. Many have failed because they forgot their first identity and assignment in the marketplace. As you go into today, remember that you have been entrusted with the grace to represent Christ wherever He has placed you. Prayer: Lord, please help me represent you well in my place of work. Amen. -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Job 9-10 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

WAKE WITH GRATITUDE

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1539 Job 7:17 – 18 (AMP)“What is man that You [should] magnify him [and think him important]? And that You are concerned about him? “And that You examine him every morning And try and test him every moment? Lying on the operating table was a man whose life hung in the balance with a deadly tumor. Then came along the surgeon, who with his surgical and examination tools, removed the tumor under the theatre lights. The operation lasted for two hours and was a success. After waking up from surgery, the now relieved man was immensely grateful and sincerely thanked the surgeon for helping him have a second chance. God visits us while we are yet sleeping and like the surgeon, He most times would find tumors and ugliness in our lives that many have died and not woken up from. He didn’t allow us to perish like we deserve but instead showed has us Love, Mercy and Faithfulness (Psalm 103:8-12, Lamentations 3:22-23). These are some of His tools with which He visits and checks up on us every morning through the light of His Word. One of the reasons people are ungrateful in life and wake up each day without a word of gratitude to God is because they do not know what He has done for them. While He is being mindful of them, they deliberately ignore Him (Psalm 115:12). It is pride and lack of respect if we wake up in the morning without acknowledging our earthly parents, how much more our heavenly Father? Today, always remember each time you wake up, what Jesus has done for you, in giving you another chance to a new life and show Him your gratitude (Psalm 103:1-5). -Chibo E.C.

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio Version☞ http://bit.ly/aud1538 Romans 12:6 (NET) And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith. Mayowa believed that God had called him to be a prophet because he had prophetic gifts. As he became closer to the Lord, it became clearer to him that he was not called to the pulpit, but to use his anointing in the marketplace and represent Christ there. He was a businessman, and he would use his prophetic grace to understand business trends and patterns. He would attend business meetings with people deeply involved in the occult, but they would not be able to subdue him. In a matter of six years, he dominated his industry. And this was because of the grace of God upon his life. The Lord made him very great because the Lord wanted him to become a policymaker in his country through his business influence. Politicians would seek his consent before making certain decisions in the land because of his influence. One big mistake believers make is thinking that the anointing of God upon their lives is strictly meant for Church ministry. Daniel got to the point he got to in government because of the anointing of God upon his life. Jacob became a successful businessman because of the anointing of God upon his life (Gen 31:10-11). David was a successful king who never lost a war because of the anointing of God upon his life. Joseph ascended to the highest office in the land because of the anointing. Go into today remembering that as believers, we are agents for the advancement of God’s kingdom wherever He has placed us. It is time for us to start taking advantage of the anointing of God in every area and conquering territories for God. Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you always represent Him well. -Pastor SD Abraham Yearly Bible Reading: Joshua 21-24 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.

THE MINISTRY OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Join Our WhatsApp Group to Start Getting Streamglobe Devotional Text & Audio Every Day. Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1537 Romans 15:5 NIVMay the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had Marathon races are a test of endurance. Due to their long distance requirement, they are run on roads. Unlike races in the stadium, their participants or marathoners are in close proximity to the spectators and can interact with them. Apart from being cheered on by the spectators, they also receive on numerous occasions among other things, water-soaked sponges and cups of liquid refreshments for their encouragement, till they reach the finish line. From our Bible text, God Himself heads the Ministry of Encouragement as the Chief Encourager. He doesn’t just stand at the finish line to receive us, but runs alongside us throughout our Christian race, urging and supplying us with all the grace needed for us to finish strong. He encourages us mainly through the pure, cleansing and refreshing water of His Word (Romans 15:4, Ephesians 5:26). God desires our active involvement in this special ministry just like Barnabas in the Bible who lived out his own name, meaning ‘Son of Encouragement’ (Acts 4:36) by the sale of his landed property to support the church (Acts 4:37), mediating the acceptance of Paul (a former persecutor of believers), (Acts 9:26-27) and spurring the growth of the Gentile church (Acts 11:22-24). We, in turn, must also encourage others who are becoming weak in life’s race just as Christ has done for us (Romans 15:1-3). Go into today, always ready to be an encouragement to those who are down and weak, through kind words and actions. Truly, it has its rewards (Galatians 6:9-10). -Chibo E.C.

THE ROD OF GOD

Click Here to join ☞ https://chat.whatsapp.com/7E3RLKaHfOfETvJspgPrah Audio☞ http://bit.ly/aud1536 Exodus 4:20 KJVAnd Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. One of the shepherd’s most important items is his rod. Though ordinary, he uses it quite efficiently to lead and control his flock, protect himself and his flock from thieves or wild animals, leans on it for support when tired, etc. It is somewhat inseparable to the identity of a shepherd and so most times he depends on it for survival. In life, there are things which represent the shepherd’s rod to us. It could be race, family, wealth, nationality, education, creed, talents, cultural heritage, etc. Many, unfortunately, attach too much importance to these things that they miss their true purpose. Even if one is favored by all of these things, a life without Jesus is ultimately a life of unfulfilled potential. Looking at the life of Moses in Exodus 4:2, the rod, he held was initially an ordinary stick, but in verse 20, after casting it down in obedience to God, it became ‘The rod of God’. Through it, Moses performed great miracles (see Exodus 14:16, 21-28). As believers, we mustn’t hold back from God certain aspects of our lives. Everything we have must be cast down on God’s altar of sacrifice first, and then afterward, God through those things committed to Him can use us for His mighty works. Like Goliath discovered in 1Samuel 17:43-51, the kingdom of darkness is always defeated by the believer who carries in him Christ (the rod of God (Isaiah 11:1-10)) and who through Him has become God’s war hammer (Jeremiah 51:20-23). He will not fear or be intimidated by one who carries an ordinary stick! Go into today walking in victory over all of life’s challenging and death valleys (Psalm 23:4) because you carry the rod of God. -Chibo E.C.

I once had a conversation with a young man who had listened to me minister the word. He really felt like he needed to commit his life to serving the Lord. But I observed that the only way he thought a person could serve the Lord was to hold a microphone and preach or teach from a pulpit. I was surprised. I had to start explaining to him that he could serve the Lord without being a church minister from the pulpit, that most believers have been ordained to Minister God from a platform in the world and not from a pulpit in the church. Ananias whom the Lord sent to lay hands on Saul and open his eyes was not even an elder or a deacon at the time (see Acts 9:10-19). Priscilla and Aquila were business people (Acts 18:1-3). But today, many people with the anointing of God upon their lives believe that the anointing has to mean that they are ministers in the church. As anointed as David was, he knew he was not an itinerant prophet like Isaiah or Jeremiah. He knew his ministry in life was to be a king. Daniel, Nehemiah, Joseph and even father Abraham were not full-time prophets or preachers, they were doing what today’s Christians would call ‘circular’ jobs and businesses. They were in government and in business, yet were as anointed as they could be. Go into today remembering that you are the light of the world, not just the light of the church. -SD Abraham Get AUDIO SERMONS here☞ http://bit.ly/SERmons Yearly Bible Reading: Matthew 8-10 (In Devotional Audio) Streamglobe is Interdenominational & Nondenominational.
