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...

FULFILLMENT

FULFILLMENT         

2 Timothy 4:1-8
Devotional Verse:-“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand” (V. 6)



    
    Service is allowing God to use you to fulfill His plan on earth. The truth is that if man is not allowing God to use him, the enemy will keep using him (Deuteronomy 28:46-47). People need to yield to God for God to use them, but nobody really need to yield to the devil, he goes about seeking whom he may devour (John 10:10). God made man to serve His purpose and establish His will on earth. All that God need to package in man to fulfill this calling is in man. Your fulfillment is only in serving the Lord.

   Paul the Apostle said, I am already being poured out as a drink offering. This is a statement of fulfillment. It simply means, all that God had put in me to deliver to the world has been delivered. This is truly a sense of fulfillment. It is in service of the Lord that a man can be used by the Lord to fulfill his destiny. To fulfill a destiny; is to have written all the books you are to write, and carry out all the vision you are to carry out etc.

  Friend, the greatest joy of your life is in serving the Lord. Humble yourself to be part of those who serve the Lord. This can happen in the house or in the office, in the community or in the house of the Lord. Be willing to use all that the Lord has given you to solve problems where you are. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be plugged to my place of fulfillment on earth.

“ONLY YOUR MAKER CAN USE YOU TO BE FULFILLED”

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...
