Rev 3:18 (NET)…take my advice and buy gold from me refined by fire so you can become rich! Buy from me white clothing so you can be clothed and your shameful nakedness will not be exposed, and buy eye salve to put on your eyes so you can see!

Femi had believed in the Lord Jesus and was baptized in the Holy Spirit. He had also been properly taught and knew how to wield his spiritual power of faith. Unfortunately, all he really wanted out of life was more and more money, he didn’t care much about the kingdom of God. He just wanted to get more money in life. This was all he used his faith [spiritual power] to acquire.

If a Christian spends his life serving mammon, he is buying what the devil has to offer. He may or may not be rich in this world, but he is poor in the kingdom of heaven because he has spent his life serving mammon at the expense of serving God.

When a Christian spends his life serving God, he is buying what Jesus offers (see Rev 3:18). He may or may not be rich in this world, but he is rich in the kingdom of God because he has spent his life acquiring true riches that will last for all eternity.

Do not forget that God knows the things you need even before you know you need them. The cattle on a thousand hills belong to Him (Ps 50:7). This means at any time, God has at least 1000 ways of providing for you [when you seek Him above all else]. When God makes you rich, He adds no sorrow to it.

Go into today knowing that as a child of God, you have the purchasing power. You can either choose to spend your spiritual capital seeking mammon and earthly riches or spend it seeking the kingdom and eternal wealth of Christ.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NET) For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.

In every human society, there is a level of respect that wealthy individuals command, which those who are not affluent may not receive. What many do not know is that it is also so in the spirit realm. Some individuals possess a depth of spiritual riches that grants them significant influence in the spiritual realm. These are people whose words are powerful in that realm (see Acts 19:15).

The riches of Christ are true riches. The wealth of this world cannot compare to it. Anyone who has the riches of Christ is rich indeed. It means even on this earth, his riches in glory can speak for him. However, someone who possesses wealth only in this world may be spiritually destitute (see Rev 3:17). Even the least powerful demon can bring misery to their life and strip them of all they possess in just a few days.

Even though Jesus was wealthy, for your sake, He chose poverty, so that through His own lack, He could bestow richness upon you. The wealth that the saints will inherit when the Lord returns is beyond comparison to anything we can imagine, and these riches will endure for all eternity. Those who will receive the riches that Christ brings are those who know His grace (see 2 Cor 8:9). The grace of the Lord is a spiritual substance that empowers people from the inner man ( see Phil 1:25, Gal 6:18). It diminishes the appetite for sin. It is the reason why a nonentity in life can become somebody. This very power can truly enrich your life.

Go into today knowing that the secret to your spiritual and physical wealth is knowledge of Christ’s grace. This grace is infused into your spirit by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Pray for grace to multiply in your life starting today (see 2 Pet 1:2).—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Acts 10:43 (KJV) To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

One of the reasons it took thousands of years after Adam before Jesus could be manifested was because the prophets who would prophesy concerning His coming and create the spiritual framework for His manifestation on the earth had to come first. John the Baptist was the last of them to come before Christ (see Mat 17:10-13). All the prophets from Enoch to John the Baptist bore witness to His coming, and they released words into the earth (from the heart of God) that would make it possible for Christ to be revealed. In preparation for Christ’s coming, the word of God had to be constantly released by the prophets for thousands of years. Jesus is the word made flesh.

A prophecy is different from a prediction or word of knowledge. A prophetic word is creative, and the prophet usually speaks for the Lord when he prophesies. You may hear something like “Thus says the Lord…” and then the prophet begins to speak as if he is the Lord. A good example is “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more…” (Isaiah 43:25). That was Isaiah speaking for the Lord (prophesying).

When a person tells you what you ate yesterday, or tells you your house address, that is a word of knowledge; a manifestation of a prophetic gift, but that is not a prophecy. A seer sees things and hears things, but a prophet receives inspiration and speaks for God. He releases words into territories upon which the manifestation of God’s agenda will ride. A prophet creates the spiritual frameworks for the physical manifestation of God’s will on the earth.

Go into today understanding that the prophetic office is very important and needed in the body of Christ today. Prophecies have the creative power that is God’s word.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

John the Baptist was born to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ. He was the last prophet to be revealed before Jesus would be manifested.

John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah (Matt 17:10-13). This doesn’t mean he was a reincarnation of Elijah, but rather, he carried the same divine authority and anointing. Surprisingly, John himself wasn’t aware of this significant connection, as today’s Bible text highlights.

I believe that God never told John that he had the anointing of Elijah because He had already told John’s father, and John’s father was probably expected to tell John (there was no instruction to the contrary). When the Angel appeared to John’s father to tell him about the birth of John, the angel told him that John would come in the spirit and power of Elijah (see Luke 1:17).

Interestingly, despite fulfilling his prophetic role, John didn’t perform extraordinary miracles (see John 10:41). It’s plausible that if he had recognized the full extent of his anointing, he might have displayed miraculous power similar to Elijah’s.

Lessons from today’s meditation:If you have a father in the Lord or discipler, there are some things the Lord may reveal to him about you that you may not know about yourself. Proper discipleship uncovers hidden potentials.

Spiritual power comes as a result of revelation. You may have the potential to do certain things but you may never do them if you do not know you have the ability.

Go into today asking the Lord to reveal who you are to you.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Eph 2:8-9 (NET) For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 it is not from works, so that no one can boast.

“Pastor SD Abraham, could you please help me understand Ephesians 8:9 in the context of your recent devotional about ‘THE TRUE FAITH’? It seems to state that our salvation isn’t earned through our actions. So, why do you emphasize that faith must result in actions?”

When you continue reading after the verse you mentioned, Ephesians 2:10 explains that we’ve been designed in Christ Jesus for good deeds.

It’s important to clarify that the works that come from your faith aren’t lifeless actions driven by rules and regulations. Let’s be straightforward: there’s no ‘good’ deed that can buy your salvation. Goodness is intrinsically tied to God (Jesus emphasized this in Matthew 19:17), and God doesn’t collaborate with you for His good works without faith in your heart.

Remember, the sole way we attain salvation is through faith in Christ Jesus. What Apostle James highlights in James 2 is that if this faith is alive, it naturally leads to actions as evidence of its vitality.

Therefore, we can distinguish between two types of works: THE WORKS OF THE FLESH (as mentioned in Ephesians 8:9) and THE GOOD WORKS OF FAITH (as referred to in Ephesians 8:10 and James 2:14).

If your faith doesn’t inspire any good deeds, it’s dead, because any living faith brings forth good works. God has summoned and equipped us to bear fruit, which we can identify as the good works that stem from faith.

Remember this throughout today: Just like a branch connected to a vine effortlessly yields fruit, you needn’t struggle to produce good deeds if your faith is alive.

Confession: My faith is vibrant, and it naturally leads to good works in my life. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 John 3:2 (NIV) Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

When you believe in Jesus and embrace Him as your Lord and Savior, you become a cherished child of God. In God’s family, Jesus holds the place of honor as the firstborn (see Romans 8:29). Whatever He has gone through, we too will experience. This is God’s design for His church. Through our union with Christ, we’ve been crucified with Him and raised to new life in the Spirit. God’s grace empowers us to daily overcome our sinful nature and live in the Spirit. Just as Jesus rose with a glorified body, we too, when we believe in Him, will rise with glorified bodies during the rapture (see 1 Corinthians 15:52).

Although we can’t fully grasp what we’ll be like after our resurrection, we know one thing for sure: we’ll be like the Lord. The splendor that will be revealed in us is beyond our human understanding, but through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we trust that we’ll share in Christ’s glory.

As you step into today, keep in mind that the rapture could occur at any moment. Just as Jesus lived on earth to fulfill His divine purpose, you too are called, with the Holy Spirit’s assistance, to live out your unique purpose. The Holy Spirit’s presence in your life is your assurance of being part of the rapture (see Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:22).

Prayer: Gracious Father, I’m grateful for Your grace that chose me for salvation. I pray for the strength to consistently walk in a manner worthy of my calling in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

James 2:14 (NET) What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?

Claiming to be alive comes with breathing, a clear sign of life. Similarly, faith isn’t just a word; it shows in how you live. But it’s important to note, there’s genuine faith and then there’s a fake version. You can spot it by observing the way people who profess faith conduct their lives.

Many say they have faith in the Lord Jesus, yet their lives mirror their unbelieving days. Today’s Bible text points out that this kind of faith won’t save them. It’s a counterfeit, not the genuine faith imparted by our Lord (see Jude 1:3).

One of the initial effects of genuine faith in your heart is seen in your words and your response to God’s Word. Real faith influences what you say and how you say it. You’ll no longer speak in ways that lack faith. A person with genuine faith is always aware of God’s supreme presence, and this shapes their lifestyle.

Remember, the actions that spring from faith are acts of love. Let your words and deeds reflect your trust in the living God. Also, know you’re never alone. God is keeping a watchful eye on you.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 John 3:2 (NIV) …But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Daniel always wondered why David had unique mannerisms when he prayed or led prayers. When he finally visited David’s church and saw their General Overseer in action, it all clicked. He realized that David and his friends were subconsciously imitating the style of their respected and admired leader.

The more you look upon a particular person with reverence and admiration, the more like that person you become. This happens unconsciously but it really happens to everyone.

In today’s Bible text, we see that we shall be like Christ when he appears, for we shall see Him as He is. Christ has put in you the nature and the ability to be like Him. This nature is activated when you behold Him.

Christians are to look unto Jesus always (see Heb 12:2). We are to behold the mirror of God’s word and see Christ who is the image of what we are to become (see 2 Cor 3:18). The more of Christ we see, the more of Christ we become.

Do you see Christ in your world; controlling everything? Or are you more conscious of what the devil is doing than what Christ is doing?

Go into today determined to live a Christ-centered life; bring Christ into all you do by always submitting to His government and Lordship, while giving thanks in all things. Remember that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him (see Mat 28:18) so He is truly in control of everything in your life.

Prayer: thank you lord for calling me and making me your own. I pray you help me daily behold you more and more. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

John 16:33 (KJV) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Temidayo was feeling overwhelmed by the constant stream of bad news on the TV. The level of insecurity in his country had reached alarming heights, and the recent news of a friend being kidnapped only intensified his anxiety. He couldn’t shake off the thought: ‘Could he be the next victim?’

Jesus had already warned us about the troubles and hardships we’d face in this world. I believe He did this so that we wouldn’t be shocked or disheartened by the evil we witness. He also told us to ‘be of good cheer,’ even in the midst of tribulations.

As a Christian, you have a choice. You can either immerse yourself in the distressing news and let it bring you down, or you can focus on the good news of the gospel and let joy flood your soul. The greatest thing still happening in the world is the saving grace of Christ Jesus, and it surpasses all the evil around us.

When you dwell on the bad news and let it steal your joy, it also weakens your spiritual resolve. However, when you fix your thoughts on the positive and let gratitude generate true joy within you, your spirit grows stronger.

Approach today with a determination to be a joyful person, no matter the trials around you. Remember, joy and thanksgiving are always in line with God’s will for you (see 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you always magnify Him in your life. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 John 2:3 (NET) Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep his commandments.

Nkechi shared, “Since I began taking my walk with God more seriously, I’ve noticed a remarkable positive shift in my life. There are things I simply wouldn’t engage in anymore, and I’ve undergone a fundamental change in my nature. Instead of harboring hatred for people I used to, I now find myself filled with love. My perspective on life has also undergone a significant transformation. I wasn’t always like this. I remember holding grudges with my sister for days on end. Today, that kind of behavior seems almost impossible.”

Nkechi’s secret was simply welcoming the word of God into her life. When it came to her, she embraced it without argument or resistance, and then adjusted her life accordingly. Now, when she looks back, she sees a remarkable and positive change. This transformation wasn’t orchestrated or calculated; it emerged from the renewal of her mind through God’s word.

The core of God’s commandments is love. He’s engraved His law in your heart and mind. When you walk closely with Him and submit to His guidance, you’ll naturally find yourself living out His commandments; you’ll discover yourself walking in love.

Go into today with a firm resolve to live your life under the guidance of Christ. Remember, you’ve been purchased at a great price, and your life now belongs to Christ.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for the grace that guides me in your light. I pray for the strength to resist distractions and to keep growing in grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi
