  SELF DENIAL  Mark 8:31-38 Devotional:- “ When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.34) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SELF DENIAL Support Us Mark 8:31-38 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com It is very easy for some people to relax because of discouragement. When such have put forth the best to achieve something good, and it looks as if the forces of life are standing against them, they want to give up and refuse to do something serious again. They take to the thought “I know it may not work”. But do you know, no matter what the enemy may be doing, your destiny is intact? There is nothing anyone can do to destroy your destiny. All they may achieve is to discour...

OBEY THE LORD

OBEY THE LORD                  

1 John 3:1-5
Devotional -“And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure” (V. 3)



   The act of obedience to God is an act of love and the act of love is an act of worship. A child that is always obeying the parents enjoy the favour of the parents. So, also as we obey the Lord in all that we do we gain the favour of God (Psalms 5:12). So, singing songs of praises to God while we are disobeying Him is not worship.


  The word of God says, if you love me, you will obey my commandments (John 14:15). The word of God says, this is the love of God, that we keep His commandment. The importance of we keeping His commandment is that He guides us into His way of favour and we willingly follow Him to our blessings (Isaiah 48:17). The instructions of the Lord is for our good (Isaiah 1:19). The challenge with man is that the devil often wants him to feel that the way of God is not pleasurable.

   Friend, we need to ask for the grace of God to help us to always obey the instructions of the Lord. This is love and this is faith. Every moment of our lives, we should allow the Holy Spirit to guide us (Proverbs 3:5-6). We should not put God’s instructions aside. He knows more than we do and He can lead us to success. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always obey you in all my ways.

“OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS COOPERATING WITH GOD TO FULFILL HIS COUNSEL”

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...
