Matt 18:20 (KJV) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Deola prayed and fasted about an issue that was troubling her, but she knew she had not prayed through because there was still fear and anxiety in her heart concerning the issue.

During the Sunday worship service, the pastor cut short his sermon and gave people an opportunity to pray for a long time. As soon as Deola started praying, she knew that her prayers this time were penetrating the heavens. By the time she had prayed in church for 20 minutes (cumulatively), she knew she had prayed through. Her heart was now full of faith concerning the issue she was praying about.

She saw the visible signs of answered prayer the next day.

Jesus never breaks His word. If He has said He would be in the midst of people gathered in His name, you can be sure He will keep His word.

The problem usually is that we do not know how to access [and take advantage of] His presence that is in our midst when we gather in His name. One of the ways to easily access His presence and power is through heartfelt worship and prayers.

Your prayer is more powerful if you pray when gathered with God’s people in Christ’s name because Christ is there in your midst. There is an intensity of Christ’s presence that is available when people gather together in His name. That intensity may not always be available when you are praying alone.

Go into today, deciding to always take advantage of the greater intensity of Christ’s presence brought by the gathering of people in His name.

2 Timothy 3:15 (NLT) You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.

Many successful people in life can be traced to a mother who brought her child up to be a success; a mother who prayed for and supported her child when no one else would.

But there are some mothers that would not only be thanked on earth when the greatest awards and rewards on earth are given to their children, they would be celebrated in the life to come when their sons and daughters receive the greatest rewards of all time and eternity.

Timothy was one of such people whose mother not only taught him about life and human wisdom but also taught him the holy Scriptures that gave him the wisdom to receive salvation. This is the greatest thing any parent can give to their children.

The child is the one who will ultimately make his decision whether to follow the Lord or not. But what a Christian parent can do is to teach their children the word of the Lord and be an example of the things they teach. They should also lead their children to consciously accept Christ when they are old enough to understand what that means. The word of God in their hearts will lead them on the path of wisdom that will make them saved, not because their parents instructed them so, but because they too can see the truth for themselves.

Go into today remembering that the greatest thing you can do for someone is to facilitate his salvation from eternal death to eternal life.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

2 Timothy 1:5 (NET) I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you.

Ladan realized that his family members were under the power of a curse. From gathering information, he realized that it has been so in his family from the time of his great-great grandparents.

He didn’t understand how such curses worked, but he was determined to break every ancestral curse in his life and not to pass down any curse but blessings to his children.

As he started to pray [and fast] fervently concerning this, one of the first things he received was that there has been a demonic altar set up that has been working against his family. This altar created a demonic civilization that his family unknowingly subscribed to. That was why all the young men and women in the family were very promiscuous and proud.

He was instructed that if he destroys a demonic altar and its civilization, he would have to replace that altar with the kingdom of Christ and His righteousness, or his effort would be futile. This meant he would have to consciously and doggedly lead his household in the way of the Lord. His children would know the scriptures even before they know their books. He would institute traditions in his household that engender the flow of God’s grace and the prosperity of God’s word.

We can see from today’s Bible text that faith (which is the greatest blessing) was passed down to Timothy from my parent.

If an ancestor of yours could cut a covenant with demons and leverage his entire bloodline to demonic control, you as a child of God can destroy such covenants and institute the blessing of God into your family.

Go into today determined to introduce generational blessings into your family by walking in the covenant of life and peace of Christ Jesus.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Hebrews 10:26-27(NET)For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume God’s enemies. 

Further Study: Heb 10:26-29, 1 John 2:1-2

Sade read this Bible verse and interpreted it to mean that God will not forgive her sins again when she sins as a believer who knows the truth. She was greatly oppressed by the devil because there was a time in her life that she thought she was no longer going to receive forgiveness of sin. But she was wrong and was deceived by the devil. She knew this when she started asking the right people the right questions. And then she realized that God does not take away His gift of salvation to everyone who still has faith to receive it. He will by no means cast away anyone who comes to Him (John 6:37).

Today’s Bible text is not meant for the repentant believer, it is meant for the unrepentant person who wants to continue in sin and claim the sacrifice of Christ as his ground for spiritual irresponsibility and continuance in iniquity. This refers to people who may say they believe in Christ but in reality, they do not because they abuse the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and deliberately use it as grounds for sin. Grace that is meant to free them from the power of sin is now used as a license for sin. These are such who insult the spirit of grace (see Heb 10:29).

Go into today thanking the Lord for His grace and blood that continually cleanses you from all sins. You are not among those who abuse the spirit of grace if you do not despise the sacrifice of Christ by celebrating what he gave His life to condemn (sin).—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Peter 5:5 (NET) In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Gerald walked in the prophetic, and people received the baptism of the Holy Ghost when he laid his hand on them. He also had a very sound understanding of the word of God, and had the ability to teach it convincingly.

But when Gerald became the fellowship president, pride gradually entered his heart. He had no regard for anyone, and became a quick tempered person who was very difficult to counsel.

Because of his pride, grace was no longer multiplied in his life. Even though he still walked in his spiritual gifts, he knew his ministries were now void of God’s rich presence. He also found that he started falling into diverse temptations because there was no more rich supply of grace in his life.

Many have attained a level of grace, but never went beyond that level because they became proud.

Grace is the power of God that empowers Christians to do the extraordinary. It empowers us to walk above sin, walk in spiritual gifts, signs and wonders, prosperity, etc.

God gives grace to the humble. He exalts the humble, but brings down the proud .

One reason why Moses had so much power with God was because he was the meekest man on earth (see Num 12:3). The day he acted contrary to this meek nature, the Lord ended his ministry. He disobeyed the Lord by striking the rock instead of speaking to it as the Lord commanded.

Go into today remembering that humility is the key to increasing grace. God does not fellowship with people who are proud at heart.

Ask the Lord to help you have the mind of Christ.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Peter 5:6-7 (NET) And God will exalt you in due time, if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand by casting all your cares on him because he cares for you.

One of the reasons children do not worry and become anxious is because they absolutely trust in their parents to take care of their needs. This is because children are the meekest human beings you can find. God wants us to be like little children in the way we trust Him (see Mat 18:3).

We can learn from today’s Bible text that casting all our cares on God is a product of humility and meekness. Anxiety is a result of the inherent pride brought by the knowledge of good and evil. Before humankind had the knowledge of good and evil of the forbidden fruit, it was impossible for humans to be anxious and faithless.

When you humble yourself under God’s mighty hand, it means you acknowledge that even though you may not understand what is happening, God is in control and is working out the best for you because you are His child. It is pride that makes us seek to ‘take our destinies into our own hands’ and “do anything” to improve our lot. This does not mean we become irresponsible people who use ‘trusting God’ as an excuse to be lazy, it simply means that whatever we do in our situation of need, we do it with the background knowledge that God is in control. And everything we do must be approved by God. We do not do anything that is against His law to help ourselves.

Go into today remembering that the way to humble yourself under God’s mighty hand is by casting all your cares upon Him and ceasing to worry and be anxious. Remember that God will exalt you in due time.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

2 Peter 1:3 (NET) I can pray this because his divine power has bestowed on us everything necessary for life and godliness through the rich knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.

Ronke noticed that the more she knew the Lord, the more she grew in grace and power. When she first became a Christian, she found it very difficult to stop telling lies, but as she grew in the knowledge of God, she noticed that the weakness that made her lie faded away. She also noticed that she now had faith to claim the promises of God in the Bible. Before, she would quote them, but not believe they would really apply to her.

Ronke also observed that as she prayed, she received answers very fast. Even financial doors started opening for her in every direction.

Her knowledge of God started to grow when she started reading some faith-building books and started becoming more conscious of the Holy Spirit.

God in His infinite love has freely made available to us all the things we need for life and godliness. Every single thing you would need to live a fulfilled, comfortable, peaceful, prosperous, and godly life has been provided by God. We access these things in God as we grow in our knowledge of Him. This knowledge multiplies grace and stature.

Go into today remembering that as you grow in the knowledge of God, you grow in the ability to receive the things of God and excel in every good work.

Ask the Lord to help you know Him more and more from today. Remember that one way to know a person better is by talking regularly with the person. That is what we do when we pray.

—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Colossians 3:16 (NET) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God.

Ola had once come out for an altar call when he was a teenager. He accepted Christ as his Lord and savior that day, but he fell back into his old life when he resumed school weeks later.

There were times he would try to be holy, but this usually didn’t last long. The longest period of sanctification he ever experienced was four weeks. But after those four weeks, he fell back into a life of sin.

Ola got a breakthrough in his spiritual life when he attended a conference filled with great teaching sessions. There, he was taught that Christianity is a relationship. He was introduced to the Holy Spirit and was baptized with the evidence of speaking in tongues. He learned that if he wanted to grow spiritually he would have to give more time to the word of God and to prayers.

He deleted all the worldly music on his phone and filled it with sermons that he started listening to. He also started making new friends because all his old friends were unbelievers.

The Lord became real to Ola. What he now had was a relationship and not merely religion. For the first time in his life, Ola now knew he was in Christ and he was no more afraid of the future or the unknown.

Go into today remembering that the secret to consistent spiritual growth is consistent feeding on God’s word. Ask the Lord to help you give more time to the word and prayer.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Gen 4:16-17 (NKJV) Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch.

Pious embraced Christ at the age of twelve, leading a life filled with the joy of fellowship with God. His early years were marked by a Spirit-led existence. However, upon entering university, he befriended individuals indifferent to God, gradually losing his dedication and succumbing to peer pressure. Despite this deviation, things seemed to go well for him. Even when advised by brethren to return to God, he dismissed them with a casual “What do I need God for? I am just okay.”

As time passed, Pious became increasingly hardened, eventually rising to become the leader of a cult on campus. His fame and campus privileges grew, but his choices led to a fatal confrontation between rival cults after graduation.

Numerous others, like Cain, have strayed from God’s presence in pursuit of wealth and fame, building impressive lives. Yet, their ultimate fate is one of ruin (see Ps 73:16-18). In contrast, the righteous find peace in the end (see Ps 37:39). It’s crucial to note that a person’s end is not merely physical death.

Recognize today that genuine prosperity is unattainable outside God’s presence. Seek the Lord to reveal the path of life, as it is in His presence that joy abounds, and at His right hand, pleasures endure forever (Psalms 16:11).—Dr. James Emmanuel

Job 26:4 (NET) Whose words are these, and whose spirit has been spoken through you?

Think of words and spirit like breath and speech—connected and vital. Just as you can’t speak without exhaling, the Genesis story highlights the unity of Spirit and word.

Our earthly existence is shaped by the kind of nourishment we consume, whether physical or spiritual. The Israelites learned this during their wilderness journey, facing hardship and hunger. They discovered that life isn’t sustained by bread alone but by every word from the Lord’s mouth (see Deut 8:3).

Consider this: words are to the spirit as bread is to the body. Jesus put it plainly, ‘the words I speak to you are spirit and life’ (see John 6:63). Words hold the power of life or death, as seen in Deut. 30:14-15 and Proverb 18:21.

Now, here’s a crucial question for you today: What kind of spirit do your words unleash? Do they bring life or death?

James 3:2 (BBE) reminds us that we all stumble in our words. If someone never misspeaks, they’re a rare individual with full control over their entire being.

Understand this: your words carry authority. They are infused with spirit. So, speak and pray God’s word over your life today. Let the Holy Spirit bring to life the words you’ve spoken, manifesting the word of life in your world.—Titus Ojima A.
