Topic: Enablement To Preach Christ
Text: Acts 1:4-9
Memory verse: Acts 1:8 (NIV) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:4-9 (NIV) On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
For John baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

The Holy spiriy in the life of any child of God manifests itself in many ways, all the ways it manifestes itself are all to the glory of God, they starting and the ending point of it must bring glory to God. From our Bible reading today the Holy Spirit enabled the disciples to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and this was the reason Jesus told them not to live the place they were, until the Holy Spirit comes upon them, in order for them to accomplish what He desires from them. Jesus said, "you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth". A story was told of a man who the Holy Spirit woke up in the night and directed him to go to a certain location to preach the gospel, as the man was going, he got to a point where what he could see was only bush and he became confuse of what to do, but the Holy Spirit of God kept on directing him, inside the bush and ask him to begin to preach, he listened to the voice of God and began to preach, at a point he was led to make an altar call, for anyone who will want to give his or her life to Christ, we were told that a man came out from the bush and desires to give his life to Christ in amazement the preacher prayed for him and the man gave his life to Christ, and he ask him what he was doing in this bush at this time of the night, the man said, he has come to commit su***de, but when he had the word of God, the Spirit of the Lord ministered to him.

When Jesus promised his disciples the Holy Spirit that will enable them to be His witnesses, He also told them that they will be His witnesses anyway he sends them, even to the end of the age. Meaning that even where it may seem impossible to preach, God can also enable you to preach in those locations to the glory of His name. Notes that preaching of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ requires the enablement of the Holy Spirit, because it is not to be done in canality but as the Spirit leds us. Even though in our contemporary time some preachers are preaching out of selfish reason and for their own selfish interest and not as being led by the Holy Spirit, and this is the reason why some of them can change the topic whenever they sees some people they are afraid to talk to. Rather they prefer to preach the gospel that will make people fill good and happy and love them, instead of preaching the undiluted word of God, that God requires from them. The scripture said “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.” (Matthew 15:8-9 NIV).

Prayer for the day. May the enablement of your Holy Spirit in my life not be in vain, give me all it takes to preach the gospel, wherever you send me, even through my character and my relation with people around me, in Jesus Name I pray Amen.

Topic: Self-control Is Beneficiary
Text: Galatians 5:23 and Genesis 39:4-10
Memory verse: gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:23 NIV)

gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:23 NIV)

Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. (Genesis 39:4-10 NIV)

Growing up the story of Joseph was one of the most popular story we were are told from the scripture, and it was often used to teach us about moral behavior about how one should live his or her life as a young boy or girl. But now it has become more relevant and meaningful to me now as it were in those days, because now I have many things to learn from it, most especially about Self-control, which involves many things that comes our ways. I came across some of this definitions or people's write-up about Self-control. Which said. "Self-control is a vital Christian virtue emphasized throughout the Bible, often referred to as one of the fruits of the Spirit. It's the ability to master one's desires and passions, acting with wisdom and moderation. Scripture highlights the importance of self-control in various aspects of life, from managing emotions to resisting temptation. And
Self-control is the ability to regulate one's impulses, emotions, and behaviors to achieve long-term goals and avoid undesirable actions. It involves resisting temptations and delaying gratification in favor of more beneficial outcomes. Self-control is a crucial skill for success in various aspects of life, including health, relationships, and career.
Sometime ago I was discussing this topic with some young boys when I went out for evangelism, and one of them asks me if it is possible for anyone to still have this kind of self control in our contemporary time, where someone will give you an offer or offer you everything may need and you reject it, just to keep his or her Faith or maintain his relationship with God. Even though I could read his body language from what he said, I told him that it is possible for one to still maintain his or her standard and have Self-control over things happening in and around him or her as a child of God. Notes that if there is anything we need more in our time, I think we need more of self-cultural, most especially at a time like this that some people are compromising in order to meet up demands and responsibilities "so to say", but as a child of God notwithstanding the situation we found ourselves, we need to have Self-control over everything that is happening around us, knowing that one day we will all give account to God, of everything we do or allows round us.

Prayer for the day. Thank you father for the Grace to understand your word in details, most especially about self -control, help me O Lord to always be mindful of everything that happens in and around me, also help me to have control over it by your grace, in Jesus Name Amen.

Topic: Gentleness Is Needed
Text: Galatians 5:23 and Philippines 2:1-7
Memory verse: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, (Philippians 2:3 NIV)

gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:23 NIV)

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very naturea God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very natureb of a servant, being made in human likeness. (Philippians 2:1-7 NIV)

Online dictionary I have this to say about gentleness, "Spiritual gentleness, often associated with the "fruit of the Spirit" in Christian theology, refers to a disposition of humility, mildness, and patience, characterized by strength under control and a compassionate approach towards others. It's not weakness, but rather a deliberate choice to be gracious and composed, even in challenging situations. It involves a heart that is kind, considerate, and concerned for the well being of others, stemming from a place of love and humility".
Permit me to say that gentleness doesn't mean weakness in anywhere, even though sometimes people of the world may always look at it from that angle, because one is gentle they always think he or she is weak or is naive. The little time I have stayed in this world, I have associated with people of different characters, some are gentle while some are not, some also pretend to be gentle but a close look at their character and there conducts they are not humble. A pastor friend of mine asks a question, even though I believe he knew the answer before asking, but in order for us to always look at it from order dimension he asks "is it possible for one to be humble and also proud?. As funny or confusing or complicating this question may be, the truth still remains that there are a lot of people who claims to be humble but when you look at them closely and listen to what they say, you will find out that they are not humble but proud and full of themselves. Note that Jesus will not ask us to do what is not possible or what He himself have not done, He always want us to follow His footsteps, doing all those things we have seen him do, in order for us to become who God has destined us to be, which includes being humble and gentle. One thing we should also not forget in a hurry is that, no matter the life you are living, people knows whom you are, even when you pretend to be whom you are not. But as a child of God there is no benefit for us to pretend to be whom we are not, rather if you desires any of the fruit of the Holy Spirit that you discover that is not in you, you can always ask God to help you to cultivate it, in order not to live a life of pretense that will benefit or profit you nothing. In any situation we founds ourselves, the question we should always ask is, if it were Jesus how will he respond or react to this issues, that will help us to live the life that Jesus wants us to live, which was the life He lived, in order for us to imitate Him.

Prayer for the day. I do not want to be humble and proud, help me to be humble in every area of my life, even when people may misinterpret it to be weakness, I rather be week in the sight of people, but humble in your sight, help me to cultivate the character of gentleness, in Jesus Name I pray Amen.

Topic: Being And Remaining Faithful
Text: Galatians 5:22 and Matthew 25:19-23
Memory verse: “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ (Matthew 25:21 NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:22

“After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’ “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ (Matthew 25:19-23 NIV)

Sometimes when I go out for one-on-one evangelism, I met with people and discuss with them most especially, some of them that may not have accepted Jesus as the Lord and personal Savior, when i engage them in some Bible discussion and also telling of some characters that are supposed to be seen in the life of anyone that claims to be a child of God, sometimes the discussions goes smoothly as expected. But one of the days i went out and i receive the shock of my life, when I met someone that said, many Christians are not faithful even though i was not surprised to hear that, but what shocked me was the atmosphere and the manner in which he said it, he gave me reasons and even made mention of some people's name who claims to be Christians, even some are pastors, that he have done business with them and they don't prove to be faithful, he said that he prefers to do business with his fellow unbelievers than anyone that calls himself or herself a Christian. Beloved I know that you that is reading through this line at this moment, may also have encountered some of this people. But the truth still remains that some that claims be Christians are not faithful, even some that claims to be evangelist, pastors, teachers, Prophets or apostles etc. Someone once sang a song about change and he said that "the change have to begin with you and me". Let's stop pointing accusing figure on one another, it will not be of any help to us, even as children of God, but let's try as much as possible to remain faithful even faithful to the end. In order to eradicate the wrong conception and misunderstanding some people have about some Christians. Let's not be like the ungrateful servant in our Bible reading today, who did not make you use of the gift his Master gave to him, but let's try to make use of all the gifts that God has giving us which include been faithful to one another. Note that when an unbeliever is unfaithful he or she is only displaying what is in his or her character, but when a child of God or someone who claims to be a child of God is unfaithful, people may misunderstand other people's faithfulness because of one person's unfaithfulness. Yesterday I told us that we are the Bible that many people are reading, so we cannot afford to disappoint them and also disappoint God, if that is done it will bring ridicule to the body of Christ and also to the name we profess.

Prayer for the day. Help me My father, that as many that are reading my life as the bible they are seeing, may they never be disappointed and ridicule your name, help me in all my weaknesses never to disappoint you, help me to always be faithful and remain faithful to one another and also unto you, in Jesus Name I pray Amen.

Topic: The Act Of Goodness
Text: Galatians 5:22 and Acts 4:32-37
Memory verse: Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), (Acts 4:36 NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:22

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet. (Acts 4:32-37 NIV)

Someone said this about goodness that, "The true meaning of goodness encompasses moral excellence, kindness, and a commitment to what is right and beneficial. It's the quality of being good in character, conduct, and intention, often leading to actions that are kind, generous, and helpful to others. Goodness also involves striving for what is virtuous and avoiding what is harmful or wrong".
As I try to look at other parts of goodness and some of the places it was mentioned in the scripture and how a good number of them responded to it. The one I decided to consider today is from our Bible reading today is a man called Joseph. When we started this month devotion I told us that it was not only the gift of speaking in tongue that the Holy Spirit gave to the disciples and apostles of Jesus Christ on the Pentecost day, there are many other gift that was release upon them and on the church of God on that day, even though many of those gift has been manifesting even in the Old testament, but it became more obvious in the New testament most especially after the Pentecost day. I always give God Glory when I see people that are practicing this gift of goodness. I know of a brother in my church, I have seen him driven many cars, but at one point he will give it to people saying that the Holy Spirit directed him give it to the person that are more in need of it than him according to him and without any hesitation he always gives it out. This story always comes to my mind whenever I remember our Bible reading today, that a man sold his property and give the money to the poor or to the church in order for the needs of everyone to be meant. This is goodness and the kindness personify. If the Church of God will continue to match forward in our contemporary time, we need more of this people in order for the Church of God to continue to conquer territories, most especially now that people are really going through a lot and some are scared of whom they can approach or they can confide in. The act of goodness or kindness can never be overemphasized, because we all may be in need at one point or the order. Note that no act of kindness of goodness shown to anyone in need is a waste, God always reward every act of kindness or goodness we show to anyone, most especially to those that are in need. This can also be shown to even to those that are rich and to the poor among us.

Prayer for the day. My God and my father, help me to always practice all this gift you have given to me as your child, help me never to withhold any kindness or goodness that I am supposed to show to anyone in need, in Jesus Name I pray Amen.

Topic: Kindness In The Body Of Christ
Text: Galatians 5:22 and Acts 36-41
Memory verse: Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them. (Acts 9:39NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:22

In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!” Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them. Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive. (Acts 9:36-41 NIV)

I always tell my friends that I do not believe in reincarnation, one thing I do is I try as much as possible to touch as many life as I can touch, to put smiles on the faces of people as much as I can, to do the little I can to better the life of the people around me and to contribute my little quarter to the society and the Church of God. Because I know that I am not coming back to life again when I am no more, for those who believe in reincarnation, so the much as I can I try to do it by the grace of God. Kindness is selfless, compassionate, and merciful; its greatest power revealed in practice to our enemies and amongst the least of these. Love your neighbor; show kindness to EVERYONE. For a perfect emblem of Biblical kindness, we need to look no further than Jesus. In the life of Jesus you will see kindness personify, Jesus did all this in order for us to follow His footsteps , imagine how this world will be if everyone refuse to be kind to one another or you are being shown kindness and you fail to reciprocate it to others. From our Bible reading today we saw that Dorcas lived a life of kindness, she was a kind hearted woman, this made when she died the people she showed kindness interceded on her behalf. I always hear people say "after all I did for them or for him or her, what they paid me with was not what i expected, because of that I have decided not to be kind to people". Note that because Mr A or Mrs B didn't reciprocate the kindness you shown to him or her, doesn't mean that everyone around you will not reciprocate your kind gesture. If you stop been kind to people, also do well to consider if God also decide not to be kind to you, what will be the outcome. This is also one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of a child of God and the purpose of it is not for our own personal consumption, but it is to be use to build the body of Christ and also impact life wherever you found yourself. Remember that you are the Bible that many people are reading, so let them see Jesus in you through your lifestyle, let them not ask, because of your lifestyle, how many types of Jesus do we have when it become confusing to them.

Prayer for the day: Help me my father, to be kind to people, help me to show kindness even when I feel discourage, help me to also know that I have only one life to live here on earth and after the life is gone, there will be no time to be kind to people again, help me that this will be in my subconscious mind in Jesus Name Amen.

Topic: Patience Is Important
Text: Genesis 26:1-4 and Galatians 5:22
Memory verse: Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. (Genesis 26:3 NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:22

Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines in Gerar. The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspringa all nations on earth will be blessed, (Genesis 26:1-4 NIV)

Website dictionary defines patience this way, "Patience is the ability to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. It involves remaining calm and composed when faced with frustrating or challenging situations, and it can be expressed as quiet, steady perseverance, or tolerance".
Research have shown but patience is one of the fruits of the Spirit that many that claim to be Christian are not always eagerly desiring for some other fruits of the Spirit, most especially in a time like this, when everyone needs what he or she wants within a twinkling of an eye, making patience to look as if it's not longer necessary in their christian life. From our Bible reading today when God appeared to Isaac, He introduced patients to him, encouraging him to wait and remain where he was that He has a better plan for him, if patience is not important in the life of children of God, God will not have told Isaac to wait for a while, God told him to "STAY in this land FOR A WHILE, AND I WILL BE WITH YOU and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham". (Genesis 26:3 NIV). If there is any other prayer points that Christians are to be more serious with, in a time like this, I believe it should be that God should help us to be patient with Him, knowing that His plans for us is always the best, it may only be delay, but it must certainly come to pass if it is His well for our life. Because of lack of patient that is being seen in the life of some Christians today, this has been the root cause of so many things that has been going on in our Christian gathering today that shouldn't have been so, most especially in our prayer life, whenever any child of God has any delay in his or her prayers, it makes him or her to look as if God has abandon him, without looking at it from God's own perspective, forgetting that God has His own way of doing things, that His ways and our ways and not the same. If you read further from our Bible reading today, you will find out that Isaac was not disappointed when God told him to wait for a while, the end result of it is one of the places we always quote when we are talking about God's abundant blessing,; the scripture said, Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. (Genesis 26:12-13 NIV). It is unfortunate that so many Christians have left where God ask them to be, because of lack of patience and so missed God's blessings. Some have also relocated to where God have not destined them to be and so relocate out of God's presence. Note that no time spent in waiting upon the Lord or having patience on what he has promise you is in vain.

Prayer for the day: My Lord and My Father, help me even when I have not seen any reason to be patient, help me to be patient knowing that no time waiting for you is in vain, in Jesus Name Amen.

Topic: He Gives All Round Peace
Text: Galatians 5:22 and 2 Kings 6:14-18
Memory verse: “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” (2 Kings 6:16NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (Galatians 5:22NIV)

Then he sent horses and chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city. When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Strike this army with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked. (2 Kings 6:14-18NIV)

Someone said, "the presence of Christ is not the absence of trouble" means that even when a person has faith in Jesus, they may still face challenges and difficulties in life. It highlights that having Christ's presence doesn't guarantee a life free from problems, but rather, it offers strength, peace, and hope to endure those troubles.
One of the advantage of having the peace of God in your life is, even when you are facing challenges there will always be that peace that only God can give in your life, you will always look at things from the perspective of God knowing that God is always aware of everything you are passing through and at the end of it He will always deliver you. The peace God gives is beyond what any man can give, and it is not attached to any material possession, the peace of God is still active even when we have nothing. Whenever I hear or read about some people who has been in some difficult situation, yet they still praised God and was happy, the only thing that comes to my mind is that, this peace isn't an ordinary peace, because if it is an ordinary they shouldn't have been happy and their peace should have been stolen, but because it is the peace that comes from God, even when they were in those situations. The scripture said, "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit". (1 Corinthians 2:14NIV). Note that one can still be passing through difficult moments yet he or she has peace of mind, one can also be going through some challenges like, lost of loved one, lost of job, sickness, persecutions, war, trials and tribulations etc, yet has peace of mind, even as we can see in our Bible reading today, when prophet Elisha told his servant not to be afraid even as they were faced with their enemies, that were more powerful than them, while looking at them physical, but because of the peace of mind that comes from God, that was upon him, he was able to look at it from God's own perspective and saw the hand work of God in their situation, this gave him the peace of mind that made him to encourage his servants who was afraid of their enemies . This is one of the things the Holy Spirit can do in the life of any child of God, who has the gift of the Spirit in him or her. The important of the Holy Spirit in the life of a child of God cannot be overemphasized and this is the reason why none of us should take it for granted, because it can do wonders beyond human understanding and comprehension.

Prayer for the day: When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul, my Lord and my father, help me to always hold on to you, in every situation I may find myself, help me to always have the peace of mind that only you can give in Jesus Name I pray Amen,
