1 John 5:16-17(NLT) If you see a Christian brother or sister sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. 17 All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death.Examine these verses:

Gal 6:8-9: Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. [NLT]

Rev 21:8: “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”[NLT]

It is quite clear from the scriptures that all sins, whether great or small, lead to spiritual death.

What then was the Apostle of the Lord talking about in today’s Bible text?

In the early church, because of sound kingdom proliferation and understanding, it was quite clear to the brethren that certain sins Christians committed (especially in rebellion) led to their physical death. Ananias and Sapphira died physically because of a wrong spirit they were trying to introduce to the church (see Acts 5:1-11).

I believe this is the reason why Apostle James instructed the saints to confess their sins to one another and invite the Church elders to pray for them if they have a lingering sickness (see James 5:14-16). It was quite common knowledge in the early church that people could get very sick and even die if certain unrepented sins remained in their lives. These sins are the sins that lead to death.

Go into today asking the Lord to deliver you from every sin and stubbornness. Ask the Lord to help you increase daily in spiritual understanding.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I ask for grace to walk perfectly all the days of my life. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Bible In 1 Year: Proverbs 14-15 (In today’s audio)

Kindly forward this devotional to your contacts and let’s bless lives together.Listen to our edifying online radio here: https://streamglobe.radio

Genesis 1:2-3(KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Josh finished from the university with a very good grade. His friend Joe got employed immediately but Josh went between unemployment and underemployment for years. Even though he served God the best way he could, it seemed Josh was not getting any reward for his work. He was insulted and called names because he wouldn’t compromise his faith to get a job. There was a good job he missed because he wouldn’t lie about his age.

During His period of waiting, Josh used the time he had to study and learn more of God and further grow spiritually. He also invested time in self and professional improvement.

Eleven years after he graduated school, Josh got a big contract, and everything changed for good. In only a few months, Josh achieved more than all his friends put together.

We can see from today’s Bible text that even though the Holy Spirit was present, the earth was void and in darkness. Does it sound contradictory?

God has his calendar and there are certain things His Spirit does in us during our periods of waiting. They are usually things of preparation for the glory He wants to bring to us. Yielding to the Holy Spirit’s work of purification and preparation shortens the wait period.

Go into today holding on to God. Do not let circumstances control your faith. Let your faith control your circumstances.

Prayer: Thank God for what He has done and what He will do. Thank God for His great promises that will come to pass in your life.—Dr James Emmanuel & SD Abraham

1 John 5:18-19(NLT) We know that God’s children do not make a practice of sinning, for God’s Son holds them securely, and the evil one cannot touch them. 19 We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one.

Be assured today that because you are a child of God, you are held securely by the Lord, and the evil one cannot touch you. He cannot touch your health, your finances, your relationships, your business, your mind, etc.

Many Christians do not walk in this reality because they have not received a revelation of it. Most spiritual realities are experienced because people activate them through revelation knowledge. This knowledge is what produces faith, and your faith is your link to the divine realm and its benefits.

If because of something you did wrong in the past, you are feeling that you are no longer worthy of God’s protection, your uncomfortable feeling is proving that you are truly a child of God. It is proving that you have indeed received a new nature in your spirit that does not [enjoy] sin. The solution is to repent and move on.

Go into today remembering that you are a child of God, and because of this, the evil one cannot touch you.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to empower you to walk in your new spiritual nature so that sin and guilt will no longer hinder you from experiencing the fullness of your divine nature.

Say this confession: I am held securely by the Lord. The evil one cannot touch me. I am blessed by the Lord. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 John 5:14-15 (NET) And this is the confidence that we have before him: that whenever we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

Daniel wondered why Femi had so much confidence in the office. It was clear to everyone that unlike them, Femi was not working in fear that he might lose his job. He was bolder and more confident than his colleagues in that branch. This made him excel above them all.

Daniel: Fiona, what do you think gives Femi so much confidence? What is the source of His boldness?’

Fiona: So you haven’t heard? Femi’s uncle is the company’s chairman, and Femi has his uncle’s ear.

Daniel: No wonder he is so confident and domineering.

Femi was confident in the office because the Chairman knew and listened to him. Do you know that God the creator and ruler of all things, knows you and listens to you? He is now your father if you have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Today’s Bible text reveals to us that our confidence comes from the fact that God hears us.

Go into today with new confidence and boldness to life, because you know that the King of Kings hears you whenever you ask according to His will. The easiest way to know God’s will is by knowing his word.

Pray this Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for the privilege of speaking to you. I ask that you help me walk always in this reality. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

John 5:14-15 (NET) After this Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become well. Don’t sin any more, lest anything worse happen to you.”

Abu was possessed with unclean spirits and he knew it. His grandmother was a very popular and powerful witch doctor and he was her favorite grandchild. She once told him that he was the one to take her place in the future.

When Abu believed in Christ Jesus, he was delivered from over 40 unclean spirits that possessed him. He knew that even though he loved his wealthy grandma so much, he could not continue going to her for any kind of help. Abu somehow understood that going to his grandma for help would expose him again to the demons that wanted to ruin his life. She would usually give Him a lot of money if he requested, but she would insist that he join her to participate in one or two rituals first.

Yesterday we saw that when an unclean spirit is cast out of a person by the power of God, it cannot come back unless it is invited. The unfortunate thing is that some Christians invite back the evil spirits they have been delivered from. They do so by going back to their old ways of iniquity. Note that anything you do that has a hint of idolatry is usually an express invitation to demons.

As you go into the day, ask the Lord to empower you to walk above every old sin that empowers unclean spirits against you.

Prayer: Thank the Lord for calling you into His glorious light. Ask the Lord for grace to be all that He wants you to be.

—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Luke 11:24-26 (NET) “When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places looking for rest but not finding any. Then it says, ‘I will return to the home I left.’…

If a child leaves the house, he knows he can still come back. But if a child is sent out of the house, he knows he cannot come back unless he is invited.

Unlike people who use satanic power to deliver people, Jesus was not requesting that demons leave people. He was casting them out with authority, and this was clear to everyone.

If it appears that a false prophet is casting out unclean spirits from people, what he is really doing is to covertly negotiate with the spirits to leave. The unclean spirits would always come back with more wicked spirits because they willfully left and can therefore come back when they want.

I believe this is one proof Jesus was showing to the people who were in doubt about the source of His power to cast out devils (read Luke 11:14-26).

The people must have noticed that, unlike others, when Jesus delivers a person, that person is free indeed; and becomes a productive member of society. But when others (who use demonic power) ‘deliver’ a person, that person is always having to go back to solve a bigger problem.

Go into today remembering that ‘ if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (see John 8:36)

Prayer: Thank the Lord for giving you the power to cast out demons.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Galatians 4:1-2 (NLT) Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set.

Unekwu used to have terrible nightmares. Sometimes, she would wake up with scars on her body because of demonic attacks during her sleep.

Even after she became born again, these nightmares and attacks appeared only to reduce. She wondered what was happening.

As she began to grow spiritually, she noticed that her attacks reduced and later went away altogether. A time came when she found it difficult to believe that she could go through those experiences. When she remembered them, she would laugh. She remembered how she used to run from place to place for deliverance and received temporary breaks from the demonic attacks. She now knew that she could never be under such demonic attacks again because her spirit man had grown too big for that.

As Unekwu grew spiritually, she grew in spiritual might and power.

Many times, Christians are unable to face certain things because they are still spiritual babes, and babies are weak. When you begin to grow in the knowledge of God and in faith, you will notice that your spiritual power and authority increases. And your spiritual might (or size) makes it impossible for you to be bound by any demon.

Do you have a problem that you know has been spiritually orchestrated? Do not worry; focus on your spiritual growth. You will either grow out of that problem, or gather enough might and strength to permanently conquer it in your life.

Go into today focusing on knowing Jesus and not focusing on your problems and weaknesses anymore.

Pray this prayer: Lord God, please help me know you more and grow spiritually. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Bible In 1 Year: I Thessalonians 4-5 (In today’s audio)

Kindly forward this devotional to your contacts and let’s bless lives together.Listen to our edifying online radio here: https://streamglobe.radio

Ephesians 4:11-13 (NET) until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God – a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ’s full stature.

Some terrorists intercepted the vehicle Lola was traveling in. They robbed everyone in the vehicle of their mobile phones, jewelry, and money. When they finished robbing, they said they were not going to release any Christian who did not denounce Christianity. Lola was the only Christian on that bus who did not renounce Christianity. She said, “If I do what you are asking, I am betraying and denying Christ. I cannot do that”. Lola said this because she had come to know the Lord personally. For her, renouncing Christianity was not simply renouncing a religion; it was betraying the trust of a person she had come to personally know. When the terrorists were taking her away, they were overspeeding, and this caused their car to have a ghastly accident. Everyone in the car died, but Lola did not even sprain a single bone. She was rescued by the police.

The knowledge of Christ talked about in today’s Bible text is not theoretical, it is experiential and real. Jesus is real to a spiritually mature Christian. He is not just a person she talks about, He is a person she knows. But this is not usually the case for a baby Christian. Baby Christians are too self-conscious to be conscious of Jesus’ living presence within them.

Go into today desiring to know the Lord more by spending time to seek Him. When you make time for Him, you will see He has time for you, and He is very present in your life.

Prayer: Thank you heavenly father for giving me the grace to know Christ more. I pray you help me walk fully in this grace and benefit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi
