1 Timothy 1:18-19 (NET)  I put this charge before you, Timothy my child, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, in order that with such encouragement you may fight the good fight. To do this you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith.

When Jide started meditating on the word of God and praying every day, he observed that his faith started to grow. He knew this because he was no more as fearful as he used to be, and he was now more thankful and complained less. He also observed that his words and prayers were now so much more powerful.

Some things happened in the office and Jide had to write a report filled with lies. He observed instantly that after preparing that report, he lost his peace and confidence of faith. He used to wake up every morning with an atmosphere of victory in his spirit because his heart was filled with faith, but after he wrote that report, because of a guilty conscience, his faith was fractured and his inner joy compromised.

He had to rewrite that report and tell the truth even though the truth was not as beneficial as the lies he had first told. This was when he regained his peace.

We can learn from today’s Bible verse that in order for us to wage a good Warfare we are to hold unto faith and a good conscience. The word of God is the way through which faith comes to our hearts and grows, but a guilty or defiled conscience is the fastest way through which the faith of a believer can be eroded or even shipwrecked. Any believer that wants to walk in great faith would be careful not to walk in such a way that his conscience is defiled. Sin causes defilement of conscience, there is no way around this.

Go into today remembering to build your life on God’s word. Determine to start your day in God’s Word and watch your faith grow.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me daily grow in faith and walk in your perfect plan for my life, In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Genesis 28:16 (KJV) And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.

After Jacob had stolen the blessing from Esau his brother, he had to run for his life. Even though he had the blessing and God’s Covenant Presence, he never walked in this reality but lived a troubled life until he had the encounter that brought him into his divine Identify. This happened when for the first time, he acknowledged his sinful ways reflected in the name and identity he was known by. One of the meanings ascribed to the name Jacob is supplanter, and Jacob lived up to that unrighteous reputation. But when he received a new name and identity from the Lord, his future [and destiny] was no more laden with uncertainty but with the blessing that produced God’s firstborn nation.

Like Jacob, many have encountered God, but because they have not conquered their fleshly identity, they are still very limited and oppressed. God revealed himself to Jacob in Bethel (Gen 28:12), but he continued life as a troubled man until he confessed his old identity and received his new identity from God (see Genesis 32:27-28).

Many Born again, Holy Ghost filled, tongue talking believers with many heavenly encounters have found that their lives do not reveal the glory and fruitfulness of a blessed life. What might be wrong?

Go into today knowing that, except you overcome the works and identity of the flesh, and live a life consistent with your new identity in Christ, your encounters may not translate to much fruitfulness in your daily life.

Prayer: Lord, help me to walk in my new identity and live a blessed fruitful life, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Timothy 1:18-19 (NET) I put this charge before you, Timothy my child, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, in order that with such encouragement you may fight the good fight. To do this you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith.

Apart from being physically fit and having the right weapons, battle formation, and tactics, every serious military unit understands the power of morale. If the soldiers are depressed and discouraged, they may lose the battle even if they have the best weapons and skill set.

We can see from today’s scripture that prophecies bring encouragement and with such encouragement we are to fight the good fight. There are specific prophecies that you may have received concerning your life, such should be remembered and used as a weapon of spiritual warfare because the prophecies are the word of God and we know that the word of God is the sword of the Spirit. There are also general prophecies concerning us in scripture. Meditating upon the word of God until such promises and prophesies become yours is as powerful as remembering the specific prophecies spoken to you by God.

But notice from today’s scripture that in order to fight the good fight you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience. Those whose consciences are defiled will not have the morale for spiritual Warfare and victory. A defiled conscience punctures and erodes faith, and without faith, we cannot overcome because the victory that overcomes the world is our faith (1 John 5:4).

Go into today remembering that life in this present world is an opportunity for you to be an Overcomer. This means there is Warfare. The only way we can continue to overcome is if we hold unto faith and a good conscience.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you avoid anything that causes defilement of conscience.

1 Corinthians 4:15 (NET) For though you may have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, because I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Kaura was facing unending battles and challenges. He knew something was fundamentally wrong spiritually, but he could not place his finger on it. As he continued to seek the Lord to find out where the problem was, the Lord sent a prophet to tell him that he needs to start honoring his father as a thing of necessity. He immediately knew that the Lord wanted him to connect with his father in the Lord who he never really honored. When his father in the Lord started praying for him, things became well with him?

When the Lord said we should not call anyone father, but God (Matt 23:9), there was a context to this statement. In that culture, Father was not just the male parent of a household, but someone considered to be the source and sustainer of the household. So what the Lord is saying is that we should not consider any man to be our source, sustainer, or provider. Only God is our source and sustainer, even though He uses men to help us as He pleases.

The Lord was not banning the use of the word ‘father’ because He is the one who commanded us to honor our fathers and mothers(see Eph 6:1).

Your salvation was not a coincidence, and the person through whom it came to you was not a coincidence either. Just like those through whom God sent us into this world are our fathers (and God approves of this characterization), those through whom we got into the kingdom of God are our fathers or mothers also. I do not mean those who got us to pray the ‘sinner’s prayer’ the very first time we did, I mean those through whom we came to know the Lord in reality.

Go into today remembering that it is wrong to see any man as your sustainer and pillar in life. Also, remember that we are to honor our fathers and mothers, so that it may be well with us (see Eph 6:1).

Ephesians 3:16 (KJV) That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man

Larry heard his wife crying in the bathroom and felt really bad because of the sharp words he had spoken to her. He regretted those words and wished he could unsay them. This was not the first time that week that Larry was acting and speaking out of control.

As he investigated why his temper had become so short and his words no more seasoned with salt, he observed that it was because his spirit was now weak. He needed strength in his inner man.

Everyone who has new birth in Christ has an inner man that has been recreated in the image of God (Colossians 3:10). This inner man wars against the flesh and the flesh against it. The stronger the inner man, the less the person would walk in the flesh, but if the inner man is weak, it would be easy for the flesh to dominate the person.

It is by the Spirit of God that we are strengthened with power in the inner man. Apostle Paul understood that when believers don’t have strength in their inner-man, they would not be able to walk properly as sons of God, this was why he prayed for the brethren that God would grant unto them this strength(see Ephesians 3:15-17).

The stronger you are in the inner man the more you can manifest the divine nature and walk in the power of God. The word of God is spirit and life. This is a source of strength for the inner man. Through the diet word, we grow into the fullness of our stature, which is a powerful one. Prayer is another way we receive strength because when we pray, our spirits fellowship with God, and His strength is transmitted to us in the process.

Go into today remembering that strength in your inner man is the secret to living victoriously in Christ. Many are attacked and faint because their strength is little. Determine to give yourself to the ministry of the Word and prayer so that you will be strengthened.

Prayer: Father, please strengthen me with power by your Spirit in my inner man.

Mark 16:16 (NET) The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.

I remember preaching to a young man. While preaching, the power of God came so mightily that through word of knowledge I knew many secret things about him. I told him some of them and that was a sign that led to him confessing the Lord Jesus. I wanted so much to get him baptized and disciple him, but I was led against that. I knew he was not my disciple. As events will unfold in the future, it became clear to me that someone else would be the one to disciple him.

The Lord can give you personal instructions that may look outside the norm, but they still will not contradict His will as revealed in scripture. If the Lord restrains you from doing something you think is needful, it is because he has arranged for someone else to do it.

I have seen some ministers leave disciples unbaptized, and many quote Apostle Paul who said the Lord did not send him to baptize but only to preach. They forget that the people Paul was writing to were already baptized by the time he wrote to them. To baptize disciples is a commandment of the Lord and everyone who believes should be baptized. (See Matt 28:19).

Apostle Paul was not instructed to baptize the Corinthians because the Lord wanted other ministers to baptize and disciple them. The wisdom of the Lord in instructing Paul to only preach was revealed when Paul had to use that as one of his greatest points to prove to the Corinthians that he was not called to disciple them, but Apollos was. He said ‘I planted, Apollos watered… ‘(1 Cor 3:6).

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you rightly discern His will.

Luke 17:20-21(KJV) …the kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Right from the foundation of the world God intended to extend His Kingdom from heaven to earth. His eternal plan, which would be manifested, according to the scriptures, is to establish His reign here on earth. The physical dimension and takeover of God’s kingdom over this earth would happen when the Lord returns with His saints and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ. We shall literally reign over every territory of this earth for a thousand years(see Revelation 20:4), and we would reign forever over the new heavens and earth that would come after (see Revelation 21).

Satan thought he had won when he got Adam to sin. When Jesus came into the scene, satan had Him killed and thought he had won again. Both Satan and his demons never knew the wisdom of God “…for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory”(1 Corinthians 2:8).

Jesus Christ is the real deal. He came to establish the Kingdom of God here on earth. Today, everyone that accepts the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and believes in Him has the kingdom of God literary within them. Such who live lives submitted to the kingdom is an heir of the throne of the kingdom (Romans 8:17) and is going to reign with Christ at the physical establishment of that Kingdom (Revelation 3:21).

When asked by the Pharisees about the kingdom, He said, “…the kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” He was telling them that the Kingdom of God had come already. Many of them did not believe in Him because they expected a more spectacular arrival of the kingdom, but that was how they missed out. Jesus was the physical carrier of the kingdom but they knew it not. We are carriers of the kingdom but the world does not know. God is fulfilling His eternal plan through us already, for as more people receive Christ as Lord and Saviour, the more the Kingdom of God is spreading.

As you go into today, remember that you are a carrier of God’s kingdom. This is an awesome privilege.

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank You for Your eternal plan and I thank You for making me part of it. As a carrier of Your Kingdom, I go ahead today, recruiting more people to be part of the Kingdom. I am not slack towards it, as I look forward to the establishment of the Kingdom physically, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 Corinthians 4:8 (NET) Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!

Gbenga and his wife were fond of criticizing and judging servants of God. They were experts at searching out the faults of men of God and criticizing them (many of their criticisms were based on false assumptions and partial truths). They felt they had the authority to do this because they believed they were spiritually gallant and were now great people in the kingdom of God who had the authority and the ability to judge. Their main reason for this feeling was because materially speaking, things were going well for them, and they felt this was a function of their spiritual might. But they were wrong. They were still spiritual babes who needed to be taught the rudiments of the faith. But with this mindset, they could not be taught and could not be fruitful.

Like the church in Laodicea (Rev 3:17), the young church in Corinth began to have a false sense of security because of their worldly riches. Physically speaking, they were doing well and had money. They thought because of how things were going well for them physically, it was an indication of their advancement and greatness in the kingdom of God. Many of them believed that they had become kings and rulers in the kingdom, and they felt they now had the authority to judge the servants of God and compare one to another(see 1 Cor 4:3-6). But they were wrong, they were still spiritual babes (see 1 Cor 3:1) and were heading for the rocks without the apostolic intervention of Paul.

If criticizing ministers of God has become your ‘spiritual gift’, it is a sign of spiritual immaturity and retrogression.

Go into today remembering that the real measure of spiritual might is faithfulness and humility.

John 8:32 (KJV) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

After Chinonso failed the same examination two consecutive times, he got tired of life. Even though he was a Christian who had been baptized in the Holy Ghost, he contemplated giving up [on God]. The next opportunity to rewrite the exam would be his last chance. It was at this time of depression that he found the scripture verse(Ps 84:7) that says “they go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God”. He responded to this light by choosing a specific time and place where he would stay in God’s presence(appear before God) each day through prayer and the word. Even though he couldn’t pray sometimes, he remained there in his place of prayer, waiting on God.

Chinonso passed the examination with flying colors the next time he took it. He could only attribute his resounding success this time to the strength he had received by daily waiting on the Lord.

The word of God reveals the truth that makes people free (John 8:31-32). Many have the Bible and have memorized some of it but are not free. This is because the word has not been revealed to them as the truth. The day you find the truth, it will make you free.

The way to know that what you have is the truth is through the freedom that accompanies it. Those who walk in the truth of God’s word cannot walk anymore in bondage (to sin or any demonic limitation). You can have the letter of scripture as memory verses and quote them fluently, but if you are not free because of them, you have not really met with the truth.

Ask the Lord to open your eyes to His light (the truth) for you for this season and help you appropriate the full benefits of your freedom and riches in Christ. This is the secret of a victorious Christian life. Know that when the truth comes, it changes your mind and influences your conduct.

Ephesians 2:17-18 (NET) And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, so that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

Lora was born into a Christian family. Her grandparents were missionaries and her parents were very committed church leaders in their community. When her elder and younger sister were baptized in the Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues, she was there but didn’t receive the Holy Ghost. She always felt far away from God and she would blame herself for this. She believed she was more sinful than anyone in her family and that was why God wasn’t interested in her. She was wrong.

When she moved to the city for college, she started keeping company with certain hip girls who were godless to the core.

Many years passed and Lora had lived a godless hollow life. One Thursday morning, she remembered the peace and love in the home she grew up in and longed to have just a little of that in her own home. Lora felt so far away from the Lord that she did not know if He was still interested in saving her. She was watching Christian television that morning when she heard the preacher reading from today’s Bible verses. She burst into tears because the verse spoke directly to her. “Jesus is interested in people like me who are far away too” she exclaimed. That day was the day Lora accepted Christ as her Lord and savior. She received the baptism of the Holy Spirit that same day.

The Jews who were near to God and the Gentiles who were far away both needed reconciliation with God. No matter how far a person might seem from God, or no matter how close to God a person might seem because of piety and moral uprightness, they need the gospel of Christ in order to be reconciled with God.

Are you feeling far away from God today because of your personal failings? Its time to be reconciled to God. God is more interested in being reconciled with you than you want to be reconciled with Him.

Go into today remembering that Christ will in no wise cast away they that come to the Father through Him (see John 6:37).

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for your sacrifice that is the bases of my reconciliation with the Father. Father, please help me know you and live always in the consciousness of your love and grace. Amen.

—Abraham Damilola Arigi
