Hebrews 3:6 (NET) But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. We are of his house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in.

When Jide accepted Christ and became a Christian, because of the sound teachings he was exposed to through the books he read, he had great confidence in the Lord and in the word of God. Some of the older Christians in Jide’s church were complaining that ‘Jide is too confident’, but Jide insisted that he was only standing on God’s word. That was why he had more results than them. The first time they went for evangelism together, Jide prayed for a very sick man, and he prayed with confidence that the man was going to instantly recover, and that was what happened.

Because we have received the [Holy] Spirit of sonship, every Christian should have the confidence that whenever he asks anything according to God’s will, God hears him(see 1 John 5:14). We know God’s will through the written word. For example, it is the will of God for you not to be sick (see 1 Pet 2:24), it is the will of God for you not to be in poverty(1 Cor 8:9). But it is not the will of God for you to marry an unbeliever, no matter how nice the person may be (see 2 Cor 6:14).

Go into today remembering that one very important attribute every Christian must have is confidence. We appropriate our power as members of God’s household when we are confident.

Christians who have lost their confidence shrink in fear and can suffer the fate of mere men. What many Christians need is more confidence and boldness, not necessarily more faith. For “if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20 (NET)

Ask the Lord to fill your heart with confidence.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Psalms 17:13-14 (NKJV) Arise, O Lord, Confront him, cast him down; Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword, With Your hand from men, O Lord, From men of the world who have their portion in this life…

We can see from the text above that the men of this world have their portion in this life.

One truth we must never forget as Christians is that our portion is not in this life, our inheritance is eternal and cannot be measured in space and time. The Lord is our portion. The frame of this present world cannot carry the weight of God’s glory that is in our inheritance.

Unlike unbelievers, when the Lord blesses us, we know that the material things we have are not an end in themselves. We honor and serve the Lord with money, we don’t serve mammon. Christians should not derive satisfaction and completeness in material possessions, our sense of accomplishment and completeness should always come from God- we are complete in Him (see Col 2:10).

Go into today thanking the Lord because your portion is not limited to this life, you have an eternal inheritance. You are not limited by the forces of this realm because your portion is above this realm.

Confession: I have power over all the power of the enemy. I am not limited by the forces of the world because the Lord is my portion.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Corinthians 2:8 (NKJV) [Wisdom] Which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Nkechi was very crafty and had greatly advanced in worldly wisdom. She always got what she wanted and knew how to manipulate everyone around her. But the day she started dealing closely with Tracy, the dimension of wisdom that Tracy displayed made her look very foolish. Nkechi also found that it was impossible for her to manipulate Tracy.

Tracy was a child of God who knew how to walk in the divine wisdom freely available for her in Christ.

One of the things in the secret of God is His wisdom. Divine wisdom is only available to those who are sons of God. This highest level of wisdom can never be accessed by people who are not sons of God, no matter how great they may be in this present world. Ephesian 3:10 reveals that through the church, God intends to show forth this wisdom to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms.

Divine wisdom is the portion of every born again child of God, but many do not walk in it because they do not know to walk in it.

Foolishness is the opposite of wisdom. It is the fool that says in his heart that there is no God. But the wise are those who fear God. Anyone who claims to believe in God, but lives his life without the fear of God, cannot walk in the superior divine wisdom.

Go into today determined to be wiser by living your life with a renewed consciousness of God’s presence around you. Ask the Lord to help you walk in His divine wisdom (see James 1:5).—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Psa 25:14 (TLB) Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him. With them alone he shares the secrets of his promises.

Chief Dayo was very sick and about to die. Many people had prayed for him and he was still going to die, but when Emeka showed up, it was clear that even though others could pray, he was highly esteemed in heaven and could intercede for a person who was originally meant to die as a result of God’s judgment.

Very terrible things can be averted if the people of God walk in true reverence for the Lord.

Once, during Jesus’ days on earth, a woman came to him asking that her daughter might be healed. Jesus’ reply was “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” (see Matt 15:26 NKJV)

You see, there are dimensions in God that are exclusively reserved for His sons and daughters. He will not give this to non-children no matter what. There are general blessings: for instance, God says that He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. These are general blessings that everyone gets to receive from God, but not everyone can partake in the divine nature and sway these things.

Friendship with God is reserved for those who revere Him. God reveals His secret to those who fear Him and walk uprightly because they fear Him.

Do you revere God? Then, it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Matt 13:11 NKJV.

Go into today knowing that as a son who reveres his father, you’ve been granted the privilege of understanding the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven (Matt 13:11 NKJV). If you haven’t experienced this yet, seek it from God today. And if you’re not yet born again, consider the invitation to experience the transformative power of a relationship with Christ.—Dr. Emmanuel James

Ephesians 3:12 (NLT) Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.

When Nonso heard the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, he realized that the reason he could approach God was not because he did what was right but because he had faith in Christ Jesus. This faith made him have unlimited access to God’s throne, and there he received grace to do what was right. He was now a righteous person from within and no longer the actor he had been all his life.

Unknown to him, the biggest temptation he was facing was the temptation to start thinking that his access to God will now be because of his righteous works, and no more because of his faith.

God’s presence is the air your born-again spirit breathes. Life becomes miserable outside of it. Sin becomes a lifestyle outside of the grace supplied through it. Any Christian who thinks his access to God’s presence is by anything other than his faith in Christ will live a miserable life.

The devil will always try to keep you from God’s presence because he knows he does not stand a chance against you if you dwell in God’s presence. The devil’s most potent weapon for keeping us away from God’s presence is by tempting us to sin, and then accusing us and making us feel God has rejected us and we no longer have access to Him. If we believe the devil’s lie, we lose our boldness to fellowship with God. Many Christians fall for this and suffer because of this ignorance.

Go into today remembering that if you still have faith in Christ, you still have unhindered access to the Father. Running away from His presence is not the way to get clean, running to His presence when we feel dirty is the way to get clean.

1 Corinthians 3:15 (NET) If someone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

When Tosin had a dream revealing that she had been building with hay in her ministry work, she was deeply troubled. Recently reading about the Lord judging our works, with those proven by fire and getting burned receiving no reward, she feared her efforts might be in vain. While assured of her salvation, she didn’t want her contributions to the kingdom to be fruitless. Seeking the Lord’s guidance, she quickly recognized that her ministry wasn’t aligned with His pleasure. Her focus had shifted towards healing and gaining personal acclaim, rather than saving souls and making true converts. Her members knew and feared her more than they knew and feared the Lord, and she realized the desire for financial gain had become her primary motivation in ministry.

Choosing to take a retreat, Tosin sought the Lord’s guidance to rectify the misdirection in her ministry.

Like Tosin, many receive warnings from the Lord about their misguided efforts, but some dismiss these warnings and disregard the messengers. The Lord, in His goodness, provides warnings and corrections to steer His servants back on the right path.

As you navigate today, bear in mind that one of the most significant hindrances to acceptable service in God’s kingdom is the infiltration of the love of money.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Corinthians 3:9,13-14 (NET) We are coworkers belonging to God. You are God’s field, God’s building. Each builder’s work will be plainly seen, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire will test what kind of work each has done. If what someone has built survives, he will receive a reward.

On that day, some will face immense pain as they realize their life’s work on earth amounts to nothing, leaving them unrewarded. This pain will be compounded as they witness others receiving their well-deserved rewards and being elevated to higher levels in the eternal kingdom.

In the eternal kingdom, rewards come in the form of authority and crowns, signifying the territories we are entrusted to govern. The size of one’s territory is likely determined by the size of their reward. The twelve apostles of the Lamb, for instance, will govern the choicest part of the [earthly] kingdom from the headquarters in Jerusalem, alongside the Lord (see Mat 19:28, Rev 21:14). The rest of us will rule over the remaining parts of the world and even the universe, inheriting it all as joint heirs with the Lord.

The quality of one’s work on earth is crucial for it to endure scrutiny on that day. Superior quality work, as established earlier, is measured by its effectiveness in bringing and converting people to Christ. Some individuals have constructed ministries centered around themselves, forgetting that they are mere servants, and the people do not belong to them. The kingdom of God revolves around Christ; He is the foundation and the chief cornerstone.

As you move forward, keep in mind that the nature of your kingdom work on earth will shape your eternal kingdom ranking.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Corinthians 3:11-12 (NET) For no one can lay any foundation other than what is being laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw

Tosin believed that God had called her to minister healing to the sick. She had the spiritual gift of healing and manifestation of the prophetic, and her ministry was all about her spiritual gifts. However, unfortunately, she would minister healing to many sick people without bringing them to the knowledge of Christ. Even the believers who were in her ministry were not growing to become more like Christ. Because there were more and more people showing up every week, Tosin believed she was building accordingly, but one day she had a dream and saw that she had been building with hay since the day she started ministry.

Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith. We cannot be Christians without Christ. Our goal as Christians is to become like Christ. As we grow spiritually, we grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ.

Any kingdom work you do cannot count if it is not built on the foundation of Christ. This means that what your ministry should seek to establish in the people is Christ being formed in them (see Gal 4:19).

Whatever your vision may be in ministry, never forget that it must be about Christ, it must be about people growing and becoming more like Christ. It must be about establishing the Lordship and righteousness of Christ everywhere. It must never be about anything else (see 1 Cor 2:1-2).

The more Christ-centric a ministry is, the more precious the material used by the builder (minister).

Go into today asking the Lord to help you build with gold and precious materials.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Prov 21:3 (NLT) The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices

Gideon, a new recruit in a prestigious law firm known for winning challenging cases, discovered an unsettling truth after a month of work—they achieved success through bribery. Seeking guidance, he approached Paul, a church elder, questioning the ethics of bribery. Paul’s response, focused on his regular tithing, generous offerings, and charitable contributions, seemed to dismiss Gideon’s concern. Wrestling with his conscience, Gideon justified his actions by convincing himself that he could now offer significant help and generous offerings in church.

However, the Lord values righteousness and justice over mere sacrifices. In the case of King Saul, God rejected both him and his offerings when he disregarded God’s commandment (see 1 Samuel 15:22).

Many present-day Christians prioritize tithing, offerings, and other good deeds, yet neglect righteousness and justice. The pursuit of wealth has often led them away from truth, resulting in a lack of spiritual power.

As you navigate today, remember that God’s standards of righteousness and justice remain unchanged. Only when these are met do your sacrifices, gifts, and good works become acceptable.

Pray for the grace to please God in all aspects of your life.

Gen 18:1-2 (NIV) The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.

While growing up as a child, I learned from this story that it is good to be hospitable and to attend to strangers charitably. But I always wondered how Abraham could identify these men as special.

‘How do I know who to attend to because I cannot possibly attend to every stranger I see the same way, especially these days that there are many wicked people looking for whom to prey on. How do I not miss out on special visitations like that of Abraham? How do I not miss out of God’s timing for my visitation?’

One thing we can say about Abraham was that he walked in the presence of God. Abraham was the most conscious person of the Lord God in his generation, and because of this, he could hear from God and walk before God.

We see in Rev 1:10 that on the day of the Lord, John was in the Spirit and he heard the Lord. We can infer that for us to be able to look up and see or hear like Abraham and John did, we must be in the presence of the Lord.

Go into today knowing that if you will remain in the presence of the Lord long enough, God will speak to you. Whenever God appears or speaks; He solves a problem.

Pray for grace to always dwell in the presence of the Lord.—Dr. James Emmanuel
