  DANGEROUS PROMISES   Proverb 6:1-5 “You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth” (V. 2) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DANGEROUS PROMISES Support Us Proverb 6:1-5 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Some people rashly give words of promises, and it has become a snare to their lives. Many even ignorantly go into covenant with others in the name of family relation or financial help and could not fulfil their pledge. Some give pledges in public, though they are not sure if they will be able to pay. Some have borrowed money and have not been able to pay back after promising to do so. It is better not to promise than to promise and not fulfil it; be very careful rushing to make dangerous promises. Else God will not count you innocent and faithful. And his ric...

GIFTS AND TALENTS

GIFTS AND TALENTS       

Matthew 25:14-30
Devotional Verse: -“And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey” (V. 15)



   Everyone made by the Lord is packaged with talents. It is not easy to find someone with one talent. Most people are multi-talented. Talents and gifts are what God has built in us to become our focus of passion. The talents are inborn with us and the gifts came with the Holy Spirit that God gave to us as believers (Acts 2:38).

   Jesus gave a parable about a man who wanted to travel to a far country. He then gave talents to His servants expecting them to trade with it (Luke 19:13). One was given five talents, another two and the last, one talent. The master expects them to know what to do with it; the same with each of us today. One of them buried his own talent because he felt the master did not like him by given him one. Yet, the master knew their different abilities (Matthew 25:15). God expects you to serve Him with your gifts and talents. But you must be careful to identify yours.

   To identify your gifts and talents becomes easy when you can get involved in the service of God. It becomes an opportunity to discover what you are good at doing. Most great musicians in our world discover their gifts as they join to sing in the Choir. Most great teachers of the word of God started to know that they can do it as they either join children teachers or Sunday school teachers in their church. Find a place of interest to serve the Lord. And you will become great in life. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to burry my talents.

“INCREASE IS BY THE USE OF YOUR SPECIAL ABILITIES”

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.

  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.
