  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...

AVAILABILITY            

2 Timothy 2:3-13
Devotional Verse -“No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier” (V. 4)


   In our service to God either in our kingdom service or in the office, effectiveness demands our availability. It is important you know that availability preceded ability. No matter how able a man is, if he is not available, someone else will have to do the job. So, making yourself available is so vital to your effectiveness in the service of God.
 
   The word of God says, no one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the civilian affairs that will be able to please the one that employs him as a soldier. This simply means, there is need to focus on our services to God. Whichever area you are serving the Lord, be effectively available. So many want to serve but they don't have time. The truth is that, there will always be time for things of value to us. That is why you must create time, out of no time to serve your God. Make it of utmost priority (Matthew 6:33). That is why the Bible expect us to love God above all things (Luke 14:26-27).
 
   If you only serve when it is convenient for you, then you are not a real servant. You must do your best to be available for God whenever He calls for your service even if it is inconvenient. Remember, humility is when you can drop your plan to fulfill His assignment. When God can interrupt your time and schedule, that is when He is truly your Lord. See your service to God as an opportunity and not obligation. Then your service will be reward-able. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me the heart of a true servant
 
“AVAILABILITY SUPERSEDES ABILITY”

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...
