DEFINE PLEASURE  Proverbs 21:12-21 Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.” (v. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DEFINE PLEASURE Support Us Proverbs 21:12-21 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but there is a need to define what it means in a way that it will not bring destruction to you. Pleasure to most people means idleness, sleeping, jesting, watching T.V and all sorts of films, extravagant spending at beer parlous and hotels, eating in all the city kitchens and to some it is just travelling all around. The truth is that none of those things are real pleasure. If those things are what you call pleasures, then, no matter how much you have now, poverty and sorrow are on the way. Real pleasure is not that which man creat...

SPIRIT CONNECTION

Scripture Reading: Job 32:1-9

Devotional Verse –
“But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent” (V. 8)

Man in his nature can only see the physical things but perceive spiritual things. Most people have little or no understanding of the affairs of the spirit. Man needs to realize that he is not just spiritual, but he is a spirit made in likeness of God who is a Spirit (Genesis 1:20-27). It is important we know that man receives from God through his spirit (John 3:27).


The word of God says there is a spirit in every man but it is the breath of God that gives them understanding. This talks about the impact of the Spirit in the life of every man. It is by our spirit that we can connect with God because He is a Spirit (John 4:24). We can therefore receive the ability to prosper by His breath on us. His breath on us comes to inspire our mind to action. Our understanding becomes receptive to information as the spirit breathe on us (Ephesians 1:17-18). This is how God empower us to prosper.

We will be able to connect with God for this ability to prosper as we fellowship in His presence regularly. This should be mostly personal time with God alone or with the church (Psalms 84:7). That is why each of us as children of God should not joke with the issue of fellowship with God. It is for us to contact revelation for the strength of the spirit. This in turn makes us intelligence to prosper. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to enjoy the blessing of your Spirit
“YOU ARE HELPLESS WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE SPIRIT”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

MASTER’S MINAS

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.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
