GODLY CONTENTMENT  1 Timothy 6:3-10 Devotional:- “ Now godliness with contentment is great gain ” (V. 6) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional GODLY CONTENTMENT Support Us Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  1 Timothy 6:3-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Those who will be able to access great opportunities around them are people who are contented in their God. To be contented in God means to be happy with whatever God has provided for you per time. Not willing to get things done in an ungodly way because of selfish ambition. To such people when it is ungodly, count them out. There are so many shortcuts the devil will always introduce for the unconscious covenant trap of people. That is why we must exercise Godly contentment. This does not mean you should be satisfied and settle for little at you...

SENSE OF SELF

-
Who do you think you are? Why your sense of self is an illusion ...
Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:1-11

Devotional: “and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him”  (V. 10)

                                                                    There is no self that will be able to stand before God. Self is our personality. Self is an attempt to denial God of the ownership of our life. He made us, He made the world and He gave us the strength we use to work,. The income we made is a product of His grace. We brought nothing and we own nothing. That is why every true child of God should see themselves as steward in this world and not owners of anything God gives to us (John 3:27; James 1:12)


To have the best of the presence of God, you must lose the sense of self (Psalms 24:1). You must see God as your owner because; He is (Psalms 100:3). You must see yourself as someone who has no right of his own but the one given to him by God. That way, you are presenting yourself humble and ready to do the will of God (Romans 12:1-2, Psalms 25:9-14).

Friend, you cannot go far with God if you want to rely on self. Self is a product of culture and tradition we have learnt all through our lifetime. “This is how people do things” and that look like the acceptable way but not before God. We can put off self by giving ourselves as a living sacrifice unto God (Romans 12:1). By unlearning the way of the world and by renewing our mindset in the word of God to learn how to do things the way God want it. It is then that our worship will be acceptable to God. Peace.  

PRAYER: Lord, give me victory over the spirit of self

“WHEN A MAN IS FULL OF SELF, HE IS THE GOD OF HIMSELF”

DOMINION

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

WAYS ON WATER Exodus 14:10-22 Devotional:- “So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.” (v. 22) NKJV      The enemy's trick in the lives of so many people today is to make them believe that they have come to their crossroads and that the road has ended. So many always agree with this deceptive thought, which leads to their frustrations. The enemy makes them look at situations around them as evidence of his words. So, many people easily agree with the devil and become victims of his deceit.
