DAILY VITAMIN
- You Have Limitless Knowledge Through The Spirit
"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things" (1 John 2:20)
     The scripture says that the spiritual man has insight into everything, and that bothers and baffles the man of the world (1 Corinthians 2:15 TLB). The natural man can't understand it, because while he's struggling with one step, the Spirit-driven man has gone ten steps further. The love for God he possesses makes the way to knowledge constantly open to me (1 Corinthians 8:3 TLB). Praise God!
      Note, it didn't say the believer. This is because in the body of Christ presently, there are two kinds of people. The first are the carnal people, who have just as much right to the heritage of Christ in God, but do nothing with this great access to unlimited wonders because they are clouded by the whims and excesses of this physical world. The next are the spiritual people. These are those who walk not after the will of the flesh but after the will of the Spirit, and as such access with ease all the glories and virtues that have been proclaimed theirs in Christ. These are the ones that experience no iota of condemnation because both in nature and application they are the very express reflection of Christ. They don't just have the Spirit of God in them, they let Him lead and live through them (see 1 Corinthians 3:1).
     These believers are the ones that the scripture says have insight into everything. The unction might have been given to all, but these ones make it active in their lives. They discern the will and opinions of God regarding any matter, and walk in accordance to it as disclosed. So, they hardly make mistakes, because God will never make a mistake. They aren't just living in the Spirit by virtue of New Birth, they are also walking in the Spirit by virtue of obedience. They seek His will at all times, and as such understand all things (Proverbs 28:5).
      This was the realm Daniel operated from. Even though he didn't have the Holy Spirit resident within him, he understood the access that fellowship and intimacy with Him can bring. He understood that such reverence provides a place for a man in the knowledge of the very secrets of God. The same experience Paul enjoyed; who was a man that abounded in great revelations and insight from the Spirit of God (2 Corinthians 12:1). Remember, deep calls unto deep; and so only those who yield their spirits to God in obedience, and are yielded to His in fellowship enjoy this privilege. Little wonder why Jesus tells us that abiding is what makes true discipleship (John 8:31). Nevertheless, now that you're born again, keep pressing until you begin to walk in the Spirit every single moment in time. This is where the true blessings of being a Christian are clearly expressed.  
      Hence, I want you to know that you don't have to be clueless or discombobulated anymore regarding any matter. You have access to the deep histories and intents that made the world via the Spirit of God. All you have to do is avoid being too carnal as not to ever perceive Him. It's like a library; you may have a pass, but searching through what it holds is your responsibility. And it's funny, because there are many believers today who don't even know anything about the Holy Spirit, talk less of communing with Him. But I want to believe that isn't you; and if it is, then you need to wake up. This is important because to fully experience the true knowledge of Christ, you must get sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and be willing to let Him teach you. Remember, He is the Spirit of Truth who reveals to us both the things that are forgotten and the things that never were (John 16:13, John 14:26). What no one has ever known, He reveals to us (1 Corinthians 2:10). And the most awesome part is that He speaks every day, showing us the paths to take ahead of time (see Isaiah 30:20-21). All we have to do is learn to always listen when He speaks.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I know you hold the knowledge of the deep things of God concerning me and every other situation. I acknowledge your presence in and with me. I believe that by virtue of your being in me, I also have all the access to freely enjoy of this very privilege. Help me God to be yielded to you. Help me to understand what you reveal, and to hear when you speak. Help me to walk in the exceeding abundant glorious experience of your person; to know your will and your heart, and to walk by it daily, in Jesus Name. Amen

Giving Generously

-
DAILY VITAMIN  There is a difference between giving and giving generously. Generosity is more than just how much you give, but how hearted you do. What makes the poor fellow rich in the sight of God is how richly he gives even though in need himself. Richly, not in terms of quantity or even quality, nor quantifiable mass, but richly based on how much from the heart it is given. Was the heart rich in compassion, God's love and mercy as it gave? Or was it full of egotism, self-pride and every trait that makes him believe it is all in his power? Remember, a broken heart and a contrite spirit[full of the first traits], God wil not despise (Ps 51:17); and as long as there is a willingness of heart and readiness of mind[spurred by genuine love], it is acceptable towards God (2 Cor 8:11-12). This is why God isn't just crazy in love with any giver, but a cheerful giver. One whose givings start from the heart outward. One who first gives with the heart and reflects it by his hands. Tha

See It God's Way

DAILY VITAMIN - See It God's Way "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 TLB)     Have you ever noticed how at some point in your life when everything seemed to be going AWOL, then all of a sudden something great came out of it all? At least I have seen it happen without number in my life and others'. Well, that's exactly what God does for a living- turning bitter sources into a spring of life.     Just like most of us, one man who had a myriad of experience regarding this has to be David. David once said that he would have fainted if he hadn't believed to see God's goodness in his life. And went ahead in advising us to wait patiently for all God has promised regardless of what we are currently going through (Psalm 27:13-14). And believe me, he knows what he was talking about.     For instance, David had been told he had been chosen by God to

Desist From Rash Decisions

DAILY VITAMIN Decisions made out of anger or envy are not only self destructive, but they also affect the attitude of those we seem not to desire their hurt. For instance, when the sons of Jacob conspired to kill Joseph, to them it was the perfect way to get rid of the 'big dreamer' that made them all look like vision-less fellows, and had taken their father's affection from them; so they took it upon themselves and agreed that they were totally correct in their intended evil action. After they had sold him and feigned his death, they might have believed it had all ended, only to be shocked with the countenance of their father, thereby sentencing themselves to a lifetime of grief and sorrows from the man they honored most- their father Israel. That alone was enough to prick their conscience until they were clouded with the mist of regret. They sought his attention for themselves, but all they created was a deficit to their own loss; thus causing more harm than what warran

Love Is Where Life Begins

DAILY VITAMIN What's the most important thing to you in life? Think for a while before you answer. And you can take as long as it takes. Alright! Are you ready now? Let's continue. In everything you do always remember that love comes before ambition. Most times we get so carried away in climbing the ladder of success that we fail to recognize and notice when there are hands stretching high for us to help lift them up. We so much pursue self-purposed desires that we miss those God sends our way to impact; not that they didn't show up, but that we failed to notice their arrival.  And guess what: Our silver lining of greatness in the sands of time and in the mouth of men is not built by the success we built for ourselves, but by how much success we attained in imparting and influencing people. Any achievement of ours' that has no positive impact on others isn't labeled success, but a self-fulfilled goal; and that's why Mother Teresa wrote 'a life not lived

Actions Speak Loudest

  DAILY VITAMIN - Actions Speak Loudest “Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16 TLB) It was 4:30 p.m., sometime in late January 2015. The students were crowded en masse for Laboratory Practice registrations. Everybody was there; the sleek guys and girls, and the geeks as well. And also there was myself, and my very good friend Earnest. We were both members of the Christian Community on campus; but Earnest was the more vocal kind. Well, on this day, the hall was replete with students and the process slow, but eventually it got to our turn. The Registration Officer (R.O) requested for the required fee and documentation and thus signed me up; however when it was Earnest’s time to get registered, he failed to ask for the fee. Anyway, when we were both done with the process and on our way back home, Earnest softly indicated that we stop for a moment. As we stood there under the canop
