John 8:7 (NET) When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, “Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her.”

In the case of Everet V Williams [EX. 1725. 9 L.Q Rev. 197], the Judges held that they will not sit to take an account between two robbers. In this case, a robber filed a bill in equity to force his partner in crime to account for a sum of money that was the proceeds from their robbery. When the real nature of the claim was discovered, the bill was dismissed. The Court’s decision was influenced by the Latin maxim: HE WHO COMES TO EQUITY MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS.

You don’t seek to punish disobedience when your obedience is not complete.

Like the robbers in the above scenario, some of you are confronted with similar situations daily in your walk with God. We see the devil fronting himself before God as a prosecutor, placing all manner of charges against you. But you know what? Just like the robbers, the woman that was caught in the ‘very act’ of adultery was guilty of the offense as charged. But the accuser was seriously handicapped in that suit. He was also guilty of the offense.

Listen dear, nobody or power has the legal standing to proffer a charge against you because all have sinned including the devil the father of all liars who sinned from the beginning.

I summon courage and strength when I see that my accuser is a guilty one. Christ retains the authority to condemn and it is indeed our fortune that He is on our side. If Christ be for us, who can be against us? (see Rom 8:31, 33).

Go into today knowing that all judgments have been given into the hands of Christ, and He alone can give justice. Since Christ is your Lord, you have been justified and empowered to live above sin.

Prayer: I receive Christ’s justification now into my spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.—Bar KC. Ibekwe

Isaiah 48:9-11 (KJV) For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. 10. Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 11. For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

Doyin was trained by loving and generous parents. She finished her university education as a good daughter making them proud. During her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), she met her first boyfriend who stole her heart and turned her against everyone, including her parents. She became rude and disobedient.

After some months, she had emptied her bank accounts, was stranded, and suffered because her boyfriend had left her for a richer girl. It was in her suffering that she remembered her parents and returned home in repentance. She was welcomed warmly.

If afflictions come, they come not to destroy us, but to refine us. As children of God, we have entered into a covenant relationship with Him, and He sometimes permits afflictions because He knows they would only make us better and wiser. Sometimes, that is the only way our eyes open to see the reality that makes us run back to God in humility and submission to His complete counsel, rather than stubbornly depending on our own understanding.

Come to God today in full submission to Him and every affliction would have no more use, thus they would vanish away.

Prayer: cry out to God like Peter did; say “Lord save me”. Remember that God is forever willing to help you.—Dr. Emmanuel James

2 Peter 1:2 (KJV) Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord

Sandra did not know that her father was once a footballer until her wedding day. It then occurred to her that there could be many other things she does not know about her father. But she was sure that even though she may not have known everything about her father, she knew him.

From her relationship with her fiance, she learned that knowing a person is superior to merely knowing about the person.

Today’s Bible text reveals that your grace increases as you know God more and more.

Many people know about God: they know that God is powerful and loving, etc, but many have not come to truly know God.

The knowledge of God comes through relationship and fellowship with Him. This is what the Holy Spirit living within you provides- the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit (see 2 Cor 13:14).

The more you know about a good person, the easier it will be to have a smooth relationship with that person and know Him. Studying the Bible and listening to God’s word will help you know more about God, and this will pave the way for a deeper and more intimate relationship with Him. Another thing that paves the way for knowing God is a deep desire to know Him.

As you go into today, do not be satisfied with only knowing about God. Seek to have a personal and intimate relationship with Him. This is the secret to spiritual power and this is what God wants for all of us.

Prayer: Thank God for the privilege He has given you to know Him.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Romans 12:7-8 (NET) If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach; 8 if it is exhortation, he must exhort; if it is contributing, he must do so with sincerity; if it is leadership, he must do so with diligence; if it is showing mercy, he must do so with cheerfulness.

One misconception I once had about Christ’s gifts was that they were only limited to prophetic and miraculous manifestations. But as I began to study more on this subject, I learned that the gifts of God are not limited to spiritual manifestations. They can also be manifested through an empowerment of the mind.

Some people have the gift of leadership. They notice that it is easy for them to lead and organize people: they have administrative skills. Others have the gift of showing mercy. They are the ones who have extra interest and desire for philanthropy; reaching out to the poor and orphans, etc. Some others have the gift of giving or contributing. Just like the teacher has the gift to teach God’s word, and God always provides fresh word as he depends on Him. The giver has the grace to give, and God always provides extra substance for him to distribute when he realizes and takes responsibility for his assignments.

God’s word for you today is that whatever gift He has given you, He does not expect you to ignore it. He has instructed and empowered you to use your gifts for the furtherance of His kingdom here on earth (see Rom 12:7, 1 Cor 12:7).

Go into today determining not to hide your light under a bushel. Let your light shine by not hiding God’s priceless gifts within you (See Mat 5:15-16).

Prayer: Ask the Lord to empower you with wisdom to use your gifts most effectively.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Dan was anointed by God to teach, he also had the gift of leadership. Seven years had gone by and Dan never really consciously utilized any of these gifts in the service of the Lord. His excuse was that his job was very demanding and there was no ministry platform available for him to express his gifts.

One very sad thing I have come to discover is that there are many Christians like Dan who do not use their spiritual gifts. There are a number of reasons why this can happen, but those reasons only exist because many times we think using our gifts is a luxury we can chose not to accept.

We see in today’s Bible text that if a person has the gift of teaching (for example), ‘HE MUST TEACH’. That is God’s ordinance and it hasn’t changed today, regardless of your job or how busy you think you are.

You see, Jesus did not resurrect and ascend on high to give us His priceless gifts just for us to do nothing with them. He gave us His gifts for us to consciously use in the work of advancing God’s kingdom.

Go into today determined to be a faithful steward of all the gifts Christ has so graciously lavished upon you. Don’t forget that the day is coming when you will stand before Him to give account for how you used the gifts He has given you.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, please help me and teach me to use my gifts according to your will. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Psalms 92:5 (KJV) O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep

Kemi had a delay for three years before going for her country’s compulsory youth service corps called NYSC. Because she would not be employed without an NYSC certificate, she decided to prepare and go for certain ICT professional certificate examinations while she waited. She had ample skills and time to prepare for the examinations and she performed excellently and was duly certified.

After she finished her NYSC, she applied to a multinational company and was invited for an interview. To her amazement, there was a large number of people who came for the interview. She was taken, not because of her degree but because she had the extra qualification of the ICT certifications. “Thank God I was delayed, thank God I wrote those exams” Kemi said. She was the only person from her country chosen for that particular role in the multinational company.

One thing I have come to learn in my dealing with God is that I can never out think Him in planning for my life and future. His plan are more detailed and beautiful than my greatest imagination. His thoughts are indeed very deep. He Even uses situations that you may deem unfortunate to produce great benefits for you.

Go into today assured that God’s thoughts for you are good and not evil, to bring you to an expected end (see Jer 29:11).

Prayer: I am walking in the will of God for me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Isaiah 2:2(KJV) And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

As soon as Ladi started work in the company, it was clear that something good has come. Because of her work there, the company became profitable again. Ladi was the most valued person in that company. Her secret was her ability to employ the resources of her divine life in Christ.

Today’s Bible text shows us that in the last days, the kingdom of God will be glorified and all nations will seek direction from it. I believe this is a prophecy concerning the days the Lord physically comes with us His saints to dominate the earth. But I also know that now in this present age, we are to manifest the first fruits of all the realities of the age to come (see Heb 6:5).

Go into today knowing that the power that is at work in you is superior to any the world has ever seen (see 1 Jo 5:4, 1 Jo 4:4). Remember that you are the light of the world (see Mat 5:14), you will provide solutions to the world’s greatest problems and nations will feel honored to have you.

Prayer confession: I am walking in the fullness of God’s will for me. I am the light of the world. Men will see my good works and glorify my heavenly father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Romans 12:6-7 (NET) And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

When I was very young, my friends and I started a prayer group we called ‘Prayer cell’. We got together regularly to pray fervently, and some awesome things began to happen through me in that group. At that very young age, I found myself walking in the gift of word of knowledge. I could tell people what they did quite accurately. I continued to walk in this gift later on. But a time came as I grew older that I couldn’t access it again, and this bothered me greatly. As I started to grow and learn more, I noticed that one thing that made me walk in that spiritual gift even at a young age was the level of faith I had. I wasn’t self-conscious nor was I too worried whether the words that came to me were correct or not. I was not too concerned about what people will say if there was no confirmation of the word of knowledge that I gave. As I grew older, I became more self-aware and self-conscious, and the faith I once had in manifesting this gift appeared to have diminished. (There is a reason why childlike faith thrives in God’s Kingdom).

Now, I notice that when my faith is high, and I am more conscious of God’s presence than the person(s) before me, I walk in this spiritual gift again.

There is a pastor reading this, you have not been able to walk in your gifts because you have been afraid and self-conscious. Go into today casting away every fear and walk in your spiritual gifts in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you because your spiritual gifts are for me. I pray that you help me walk in them according to your plan, In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi

Romans 12:6 (NET) And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

“If I had walked in these spiritual gifts a year ago, my aunt wouldn’t have died”. Ronke thought. It pained Ronke that she could have been walking in her spiritual gifts long ago if she knew what she now knows.

What exactly was it that Ronke knew? She knew that spiritual gifts were meant for her, that she didn’t have to earn them because they are gifts. Jesus has already paid for them with his life. She also acquired faith to manifest them by hearing God’s word of faith. She had learned that spiritual gifts are manifested according to one’s measure of faith, so she went for the word of God to build her faith.

Ronke noticed that she started becoming more and more conscious of the Holy Spirit and she grew in friendship with the Holy Spirit, this was a major key to her breakthrough in spiritual gifts.

We saw previously that one sign that the kingdom of God is present is that the power of God will be manifested. We are to be agents of God’s power on the earth. One way we manifest this power is through His spiritual gifts. We are to desire spiritual gifts (see 1 Cor 12:31). Our desire is bound to birth manifestations.

As you go into today, remember that the Holy Spirit is the one who distributes spiritual gifts. This means you have to be in fellowship with Him in order to activate and maximize His gifts within you.

Prayer: Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you to walk in closer communion and friendship with Him from this day. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi
