Luke 16:13 (KJV) No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Dele received a revelation that made him understand he was to serve the Lord in Kaduna. There were several confirmations, and he was sure God wanted him to dwell in Kaduna. Three months later, he got a much better job than his current job. The salary was ten times more, but the only issue was that he would have to relocate to Lagos for the job.

At that point, Dele refused to pray objectively. He was trying to convince himself that the Job was the will of God. He knew in his spirit that taking the job was not God’s will, but he took the job after going to seek counsel from a pastor who told him what he wanted to hear.

Dele went to Lagos and walked out of God’s will for his life. Dele is an example of a Christian who serves Mammon.

A Christian who serves God realizes that his purpose in life is to serve God; that everything he has was given for him to use to serve God and experience dimensions of God. Such a Christian would get to the point that God Himself would take responsibility for his every need. Nothing of this world becomes so important that it hinders his relationship with God. This is manifested in his willingness to let go of anything that the master demands.

Go into today remembering that we are serving sons of the great God. Do not let your life be defined by the desire to get more money, let it be defined by the desire to please and serve God.

Prayer confession: I am pleasing the Lord in all things. I am serving Him with everything I have, In Jesus’ name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Galatians 6:10 (NKJV) – “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”

In today’s verse, we’re reminded to extend kindness to everyone, but there’s a special emphasis on showing love to our fellow believers.

Jesus emphasized this point clearly when He stated that our love for one another would be the mark of our discipleship (John 13:35).

In Matthew 25:41-46, we learn that some individuals will face rebuke from Jesus. These individuals, though identifying as ‘Christians,’ failed to demonstrate love towards their fellow believers, and as a result, they won’t be granted entry into His Kingdom on the final day.

Apostle John, in 1 John 4:20, reinforces this notion by stating that we cannot claim to love God while harboring hatred for our fellow Christian.

Today, make a conscious decision to treat your Christian brethren with the same kindness and consideration you would wish for yourself. This is the essence of esteeming others above yourself (Philippians 2:3).

Prayer: Heavenly Father, grant me the ability to truly love my brethren. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Ugbede was on the lookout for a better job, and his siblings were rallying to assist him in finding a good opportunity. Fortunately, there was an opening in his brother’s company for an ICT specialist, a role Ugbede was perfectly suited for in terms of qualifications and experience. Recognizing that many would vie for this position, Ugbede’s brother mustered the courage to approach his Managing Director and advocate for Ugbede. That’s how Ugbede landed his fantastic new job.

We go out of our way many times to help our earthly brothers and sisters, but many times, we fail to do so for our heavenly brothers and sisters. Many Christians don’t realize that what joins us together as Christians is stronger than flesh and blood.

We are members of the family of God. You were born into this family when you became born again. We should always be conscious of the fact that we belong to God’s family and we have brothers and sisters who may need our help.

When you walk in the consciousness of this reality, you are unlocking several possibilities that are only activated when you understand your spiritual identity. Many Christians have not fully taken advantage of the fatherhood of God because they have neglected true brotherhood with His Children.

Go into today determined to treat your Christian brother as your brother indeed.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I ask that you help me obey this word and understand that my first identity is in your Household. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 John 2:3 (TLB) – “And how can we be sure that we belong to him? By looking within ourselves: are we really trying to do what he wants us to?”

Nnamdi: Pastor, I want to be certain that I truly belong to God. How can I know for sure?

Pastor Ken: Let’s turn to 1 John 2:3 and read it together.

Nnamdi reads today’s Bible text.

Pastor Ken: You see, it’s quite straightforward.

Nnamdi, who are you dedicating your life to serve and please? What drives your plans and decisions? For many people, it’s worldly pursuits and material gain. They don’t realize that God created us in His image for us to live for Him.

When you prioritize living for God and serving Him above all else, you’ll find that He provides for your material needs effortlessly. Identifying who your life aims to please ultimately reveals who you truly belong to.

Let’s not be misled; you can’t wholeheartedly serve both God and worldly pursuits. Your allegiance lies with the one you choose to serve.

Go into today resolved to lead a life that consistently pleases God.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to empower you to bring Him pleasure in every aspect of your life. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 John 1:5 (NET) Now this is the gospel message we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.

At just 19 years old, Damian was already caught in the grip of drug addiction, his life spiraling downwards. Arrested three times, he found himself serving a five-year prison sentence. With no skills, limited education, and hailing from a struggling family, his prospects seemed bleak. Even his own mother harbored doubts about his future, fearing he might end up committing even graver offenses upon his release.

But then, something incredible happened. In prison, Damian accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. It was a turning point. Suddenly, he discovered a newfound ability to concentrate and be productive. Upon his release, he committed to education, working his way through school and advancing to college. Remarkably, he not only excelled but emerged as the top graduate in his class. What’s more, he took on leadership roles in his church community.

By the time Damian completed college, many of his childhood friends had met tragic fates – some had passed away, others had disappeared, and a few had returned to prison. Damian, on the other hand, had encountered a Light that altered the course of his life. It banished the darkness that had shrouded his heart since childhood.

God embodies light. When you allow Him into your life, transformation, and glory are inevitable. This is the essence of the gospel: Through Christ, God’s light illuminates your life.

When you invite Jesus into every facet of your life, you’re ushering in light, and darkness has no choice but to recede.

As you step into today, make a conscious decision to let Jesus reign over every aspect of your existence. Prepare for a magnificent transformation.

Prayer: Thank God for lovingly allowing us to be partakers in His light.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Job 32:8 (KJV) But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding

Many of the world’s achievers have a strong spiritual side. Unfortunately, some have turned to practices like Yoga, seeking to connect with their inner selves. They recognize that the spirit is the channel through which inspiration flows.

In my own life, I’ve found that my most significant inspirations come during times of prayer in the spirit.

It’s intriguing to see in today’s verse that the spirit is mentioned before inspiration. This emphasizes that our spirit is where we receive inspiration.

Yesterday, we learned how God blessed Jacob through a dream inspired by God. Many have received profound insights through dreams because they are more attuned to their spirits while asleep, with their bodies less active.

As children of God, we should consistently tap into God’s inspiration. This is achieved by being spiritually minded, walking in the spirit, and engaging in regular spiritual communion.

Go into today deciding to actively seek the inspiration God consistently offers your spirit. Recognize that this is the key to unlocking greatness in your life.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I am grateful for the inspiration that grants me understanding. I pray for the ability to walk in the spirit and receive these inspirations. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Job 32:8 (KJV) But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Consider the story of Jacob. He carried the covenant blessing of Abraham, but for many years, he toiled for Laban and was unfairly treated. When it came time for his wages, Jacob proposed a fair arrangement: he would take any sheep or goats that weren’t completely white. This way, there would be no suspicion of theft in the future. Laban agreed, but then deceitfully had all the colored and speckled animals removed before Jacob could choose (see Genesis 30:31-35).

In human terms, it seemed impossible for Jacob to prosper under such unfair treatment. However, everything changed when God inspired him through a dream. He moved from relying solely on hard work to embracing God’s grace. As a result, he became so blessed that Laban and his sons grew envious.

Often, people expect their rightful rewards from the government or employers, only to be let down. Today, I want to suggest that all you truly need is inspiration from God. Just like Jacob, your blessings will chase after you.

Go into today remembering that any kind of struggle – be it financial, academic, marital, or even spiritual – can come to an end when you walk in God’s inspiration.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I seek Your divine inspiration to lead me into my blessings. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.— Dr. Emmanuel James

1 Corinthians 13:1,4 (ESV) If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. Love is patient and kind…

Love is the major distinguishing factor between believers of Christ and unbelievers. This was the commandment that Jesus laid down for us, to love one another just as He loves us.

Apostle John explicitly stated that he who does not love does not know God because God is love. (See 1 John 4:8). This kind of love is not the one shown only to our immediate family members and friends, but the one shown to all, including strangers. Every born-again child of God has the love of God shed abroad in His heart by the Holy Ghost. (See Rom 5:5)

One of the proofs of love is patience. Someone once said that the reason why we need patience is because the other person is not perfect. We expect people to forgive us and overlook our excesses, but we find it difficult to do the same when they hurt us. Patience is a good-natured tolerance of delay or incompetence of another.

Another proof of love is kindness. Kindness means having a tender, considerate, and helpful nature to others. One way to show that we love others is to be kind to them, irrespective of what they have done to us.

Go into today, allowing the love of God to find expression in you by being patient and kind to others, even to those who seem not to deserve it. God loved us even while we were sinners, do the same to others. By so doing, they will see Christ in you.

Prayer: Father, cause your love to find expression in me. Help me to be patient and kind to others, in Jesus’ name. Amen,—Bishopkaro

Romans 12:9-11(NET) Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another with mutual love, showing eagerness in honoring one another.

All Tolani had left for the week was $15. She had decided that she would manage it till she got her pay at the end of the week. She ran into Bernice and observed that Bernice really needed help; she had not eaten for two days. Tolani did not even think about it when she immediately brought out all she had and gave half of it to Sister Bernice. When she thought about what she did later in the day, she realized that it was her faith in God that provoked her to act that way. And she saw God working in her life and supplying all her needs.

The kind of Love that pleases God is the one generated by faith in God. “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight – the only thing that matters is faith working through love” -Gal 5:6[NET].

Anyone who does acts of love that is not inspired by faith in God will be doing so in hypocrisy. Note that the kind of Love God recognizes does not help others in expectation of anything in return. It helps others because it wants the best for them.

Go into today asking the Lord to build up your faith so that you can truly love His brethren. Remember that God is the one who takes care of you. Everything you get in life comes from Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I trust you for my sustenance in life. Help me to walk in this reality daily and manifest your love. Amen.—Bishopkaro

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NLT) We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

Mr. Eze’s children often thought of him as very strict, not fully comprehending the reasons behind his stern rules. In their village, Mr. Eze had numerous envious enemies who were willing to harm him by any means necessary. These adversaries had control over the village’s trade. Mr. Eze was well aware that they would attempt to harm his children, possibly even by poisoning them. So, he gave his children strict instructions never to consume anything from outside their home. On one occasion, his daughters went against his orders and purchased water on their way home from school. When Mr. Eze discovered this disobedience, he disciplined them severely. He did this to ensure all his children grasped the importance of his instructions.

Then came a day when his eldest son missed the school bus and, hungry because he hadn’t eaten breakfast, decided to buy food from a nearby cafeteria. The cafeteria owner convinced him to buy the food at a discounted price. Disobeying his father and eating the food, he thought, “Daddy will understand.” Two hours after returning home, he tragically lost his life due to the poisoned meal he had consumed.

“God understands” is a phrase often used by many Christians when they contemplate breaking His commandments. What they might not realize is that God’s commandments are given to safeguard our spirits from the corruption that exists in the world. This corruption is the result of the deadly effects of sin.

As you move through today, remember that every commandment the Lord gives is for your own benefit. Challenge any strongholds in your heart that whisper, “God will understand.” Understand that it’s your spiritual well-being that’s at risk when you disobey God’s will.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please help me in breaking down any strongholds in my life. Amen.— Abraham Damilola Arigi
