  RECOGNIZING TIME  1 Chronicles 12:31-33  Devotional:- “of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command” (V.32) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional RECOGNIZING TIME Support Us Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  1 Chronicles 12:31-33 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com People who can recognise time will always see the opportunities of each time and seize them. When a man's knowledge is not improved on, it becomes obsolete. To improve your knowledge, you must understand what is needed to improve life today. You then become current. He that can have the understanding of time will always lead others.  In the scripture, we read of a tribe of Israel that had the understandin...

SELF DENIAL​​​​

SELF DENIAL​​​​

Luke 9:23-27
Devotional- “Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me”  (V. 23)



   The act of bringing forth anything that is worth having in this world, demands the virtue of self denial. This is because any attempt you want to demonstrate to achieve anything good will be resisted. The devil will use many things to stop you from achieving the goal. The enemy will often use 'self' to stand against self. That is why you must learn to deny self . Self is the Adamic, canal and sinful nature in man which always stand against what is right (Romans 7:18-20, Romans 8:7-8).


   Jesus said, if anyone will be My disciple he must deny himself first. To deny self is to refuse to follow the way of the flesh. The flesh or self will always want to stand against people at the point of achievement because man unconsciously feed himself daily with lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life (1 John 2:16-17). So, what we have fed it with, makes it strong to always stand against our desire to succeed. There is therefore a strong need for self to be denied to be able to achieve your goal. It is when you need to study to face an interview that you will be tired etc.

   Friend, bringing forth good things in life demands that you learn the act of self denial. Telling your body 'you cannot have my attention now'. Why is it when the word of God is being preached that you feel tired? Why is it when you need to fast that you will feel hungry most? Though, some days, you don't eat and you don't feel it. When you learn to deny self, you will be able to create your desires and success. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always deny myself to achieve good things.

“YOU CAN’T BE A TRUE CHRISTIAN WITHOUT SELF DENIAL”

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.
