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.

I remember how me and my siblings used to quarrel and fight when I was a child. This didn’t mean we weren’t siblings who love each other, the strife and fights happened simply because we were children.

As adults, I don’t remember when last we fought or even had a quarrel. Maturity has brought respect and unity among us. We may have certain disagreements and sometimes see certain things differently, but this doesn’t mean we would be in a state of disunity.

One of the ways you will know that you are growing spiritually is when you begin to develop a more open heart and mind to other believers in Christ who do not belong to your denomination or Church. If you truly know the Lord Jesus, you will not be a judgmental and condemnatory person.

Even though all Christians will not be in the same denomination, all Christians can grow into spiritual maturity. And a sign of this is unity. This unity comes because of our common faith in the Lord Jesus.

Go into today determined to put away spiritual childishness by removing every tendency in your heart to be judgmental. But rather, seek to show the love of Christ and project the substance of His doctrine through your life of Love.

Prayer: Thank the Lord for facilitating your spiritual growth.

Ask the Lord to open you to know Him more and more.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Matthew 25:1-2(AMP) Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish (thoughtless, without forethought) and five were wise (sensible, intelligent, and prudent).

It is sad to see that not many people have wisdom and it is sadder that not many seek and desire wisdom. It is not good that the soul be without knowledge. (Prov 19:2). One of the worst things that can happen to any man is to be without wisdom. The Bible encourages us to seek wisdom. “Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom” (Prov 18:1 KJV).

Wisdom is gotten through a strong and consistent desire for it. It is not just given to anybody, but to those who sincerely want it. When we seek, we shall find. (See Prov 2:3-5). The next step to getting wisdom is by separating oneself to study and meditate on God’s word and on the issues of life in the light of God’s word on a regular basis.

So many believers suffer; so many can’t get hold of the blessings God has blessed them with because they lack wisdom. From our text, even a believer can go to hell just because of the lack of wisdom to do what is right. The Spirit of God is the source of wisdom. But this wisdom will not be released upon us if we don’t desire and seek it. The more we desire and seek wisdom from God’s word and in prayers, the more wisdom the Spirit of God releases to us.

Go into today with the desire to get wisdom. Ask of God, for He giveth liberally to any who lack wisdom. (See James 1:5)

Prayer: Father, I ask that You release upon me the spirit of wisdom, so that I may operate daily in Your wisdom. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) ‘For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind’.

Clair had a dream that her first son died in a motor accident, and she had this dream twice. Because of this, she was very afraid. All her prayers were prayers and fasting of fear and anxiety. She also went from place to place to seek spiritual help. Unfortunately, in a camping trip her son went for, there was a freak accident and he was the only one who lost his life.

Two years later, Clair had another dream. This time it was her daughter that she saw involved in a plane crash. Her daughter was an Air Force officer. Clair had this disturbing dream thrice. But Clair had grown spiritually and now had more spiritual understanding. She prayed about the dream and refused to fear or worry about it. She now understood that her fear and anxiety was an evil thing that the enemy was using to gain entrance into her life. The last time she had that bad dream; she woke up and began to confess good and great things concerning her daughter. She confessed God’s great promises until she no longer felt any anxiety.

Her daughter was promoted according to her confession, and several years passed with no evil report concerning her daughter.

Faith is the vehicle through which God connects to us and helps us. Fear is the vehicle through which Satan afflicts. When God says ‘Fear not’, it is not a suggestion, it is a command.

Go into today remembering that God has not given you the spirit of fear, but the spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. Since fear opposes faith, use faith to conquer fear by confessing God’s word that brings faith into your heart.

Prayer: Thank you heavenly Father for your word that quenches my fears. I pray that you help me live by it, in Jesus’ name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Ephesians 4:12 (NET) …to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ…

In the preceding verses to today’s Bible text (Read verses 8-14), we can see that God has given the Church gifts of Apostles, Pastors & Teachers, Prophets, and Evangelists. These were given to help equip the saints and help them grow spiritually- so that they would no longer be spiritual babes. It is important to note that the people with the above-mentioned offices are gifts to the body of Christ.

One of the most common sources of spiritual stagnation among some very serious-minded Christians is spiritual malnutrition. Malnutrition happens when you eat only one kind of food diet from one source.

God in His infinite wisdom did not plan that one single person will carry all the resources that His people would need to grow. One of the worst things you can do to your spiritual growth is to limit yourself to one single individual for all your spiritual nourishment and growth, all your lifetime.

Even though there are times that God could join you to a certain gift in His body for certain seasons of your life, and there are definitely people whom God has ordained to father and pastor you; to whom you are accountable, God never intended that you should receive all your spiritual nourishment from just one source. This is not consistent with the New Testament Church. Many Christians have had stunted and one-sided growth because of this error.

One effective way of getting your part in a gift to the body of Christ is by reading books and/or listening to sermons.

As you go into today, ask the Lord to open your eyes to the gifts that He has sent to help you grow.

Prayer: Thank you Father for further advancing my spiritual growth. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Corinthians 3:1-4 (NET) So, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready. In fact, you are still not ready, 3 for you are still influenced by the flesh. For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people?

How would you feel if you have a baby that has remained a baby for nine years?

Babies are cute and we love them, but babies have to grow up.

When you were born again, you were literally born a spiritual babe. As you learn the word of God and apply it to your life, you are to grow into the image of Christ. Unfortunately, many Christians have refused to grow spiritually; they are still babes tossed to and from by every wind of doctrine (see Eph 4:14).

As revealed in today’s Bible text, spiritual babes are believers controlled by the flesh. They are controlled by their feelings and circumstances, and not by God’s word.

Spiritual growth is proportional to knowledge growth. The more of God you know, the more you will grow spiritually. Believers who do not give time for the word of God and prayer do not grow spiritually, no matter how long they have believed.

It is only Christians who have grown spiritually that will be able to command God’s mighty power.

In the kingdom of God, growth never ends. Even though you grow out of being a spiritual baby, you never get to a point where you have grown enough to longer need growth.

Go into today determined to grow spiritually by applying your heart more to the word of God and to fellowship with Him.

Ask the Lord to help you grow.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.Emeka had to work closely with some men who he knew were deeply into the occult. Emeka was representing his company and they were representing theirs. These men were so sure of themselves, and it was clear to Emeka that they drew their confidence from the fact that they belonged to a powerful occult group.

There was a particular time when the two parties (Emeka and the two men) had a conflict of interest, and the men behaved as if Emeka should understand to let them have their way because of who they were or what they belonged to. Emeka bluntly refused. “You people have been behaving as if you own the world, but you don’t. Because I haven’t bragged does not mean I don’t know who I belong to. If you were really as powerful as you think, you would have known not to mess with me a long time ago”. These words Emeka said invoked great fear in those men because they understood that he knew what he was talking about. “he wouldn’t have such courage to confront us if he didn’t have something” they thought.

As a Christian, Emeka had superior power to those men and he knew it. He was strong in the Lord, and he could not be intimidated by people with inferior powers. They were the ones who ended up being intimidated.

Many Christians are defeated because they do not really understand the incomparable power of God that is at work for them. Ephesians 1:18-19 shows us that this understanding is a function of spiritual enlightenment.

Go into today remembering that all authority in heaven and on earth now belongs to your Lord who lives in you. Walk always in the consciousness of this truth and pray without ceasing.

Prayer: Lord, please help me walk in the full understanding of who I am in you. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 John 4:4 (NET) You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Do you know that if you are born again, the most powerful spirit in all of existence dwells within you? The Spirit that dwells within you is the same spirit that created all things that exist, including the devil that you may have been afraid of. The world, and they that dwell in it belongs to Him (see Psalm 24:1), and all power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him (see Mat 28:18).

Spiritual power is always contacted by faith. If you do not have faith in the Lord’s power to protect you, you are exposing yourself because faith is a spiritual shield (see Eph 6:16).

Because of what Jesus has done for us, God is on your side, and all His power has been made available for you. The choice of whether or not to walk in this power is yours. The more faith you have, the more you will be able to connect with God’s mighty power.

Go into today determined to increase your faith and be able to draw more strength from the Lord who is within you. Avoid committing to people who have no faith because unbelief is contagious (see 1 Cor 15:33). Let God’s word fill your heart because this is how faith is contacted (see Rom 10:7). Pray in the spirit as much as possible because this is how you build up yourself to walk in faith (see Jude 1:20).

Prayer:Thank God for bringing you to this dayAsk the Lord to help you fill your heart with His wordAsk the Lord to help your faith grow. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Titus 2:14 (NET) He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.

Jude said to Pastor Ehiz “I have come to discover that there is lawlessness and evil hidden deep in my heart. I really desire to follow and serve the Lord, but I still know that there are deep-seated desires and proclivities in my heart that do not please Him”

Pastor Ehiz reminded Jude that he was now born again and this means he is to constantly take advantage of his new life in Christ Jesus to deny the old life of sin within His flesh. “Each time evil desires and thoughts come, always resist and attack them with the word of God because you now have the life to do that,” Pastor Ehiz said.

Today’s Bible text shows us that Jesus gave Himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness. Lawlessness is the tendency of the heart to want to operate without boundaries; it rejects the idea of submitting to God’s authority.

Even though you may have been born again for years, you may still find that there are deep-seated evil desires in your heart that may want to begin to control you. The Solution to this is to constantly stand on the word of God and profess God’s will and counsel concerning you.

Go into today determined to use the power of your words to drive your life in the right direction. Attack evil desires with the spoken word of God. Constantly remind yourself that you are a new creation walking in the divine nature.

Confession: I am being purified unto every good work. My heart is conducive for the operation of God’s Spirit, In Jesus’ name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (NET) But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has prepared for those who love him.”10 God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

When Uche got wind of what was going on in the family, things had already got so bad. His stepmother did not want anyone to know her role in the whole issue. She had gone to very powerful sorcerers to make sure she was never exposed. All other family members who went to fake prophets and native doctors were in the dark. But Uche knew. It took Him just 15 minutes of prayer to know that she was the one responsible for the woes in the family business.

Anyone who is born again and has the Holy Spirit has a real advantage in life. He can know things that no one else can ever know. Secondly, he is privy to the deep things of God.

There is knowledge that goes far beyond human comprehension. It is the spiritual knowledge of your inheritance in God, which the Holy Spirit supplies to your spirit. This knowledge gives you the access and ability to partake in the divine nature (the grace of God). This knowledge produces stability and peace in your heart that is beyond human understanding (see Phil 4:7).

If you are deficient in any area of life, it is because there are things you should know that you don’t know.

What makes the difference between the great and the small in life is knowledge; who and what they know.

Go into today praising God because you know Him, and you have access to knowledge the world can never comprehend.

Prayer: Ask the Holy Spirit to help you use the advantage of the Knowledge that He supplies—Abraham Damilola Arigi
