  JACOB Genesis 31:3-13 Devotional:- "And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted.” (v.10) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional JACOB Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Genesis 31:3-13 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Among those who ruled in the midst of their enemies was Jacob. Right from the time he was in the womb, it’s been said about him that he struggled with his brother (Gen 25:22). So, he started his life battle from the womb.   When he grew up, he lived a life of struggle till he ran from his father’s house to the house of Laban, only to find out that he had run away from his brother to the hand of another enemy. Such is the life of many today who keep running from place ...

PRIVILEGED VERSUS OBLIGATION

PRIVILEGED VERSUS OBLIGATION            

Psalms 100:1-5
Devotional Verse-“Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing” (V. 2)


  Serving the Lord demands that we don't think of our  assignments as obligations but a privilege. An obligation is a sense of duty produced by a contract or agreement before a man can be paid. A privilege is a special opportunity or special advantage that is not common to all. Good servant sees their services to God as a privilege not an obligation.

  That is why service to God demands service with gladness. Those who serve under obligation experiences stress but privileged people serve joyfully. The reason true servants will see themselves as privileged is because God’s promises and rewards for his servants are great. Jesus said “if we serve Him, God the father will honour us” (John 12:26). The word of God says, we shall be greatly rewarded (1 Corinthians 15:58). The Bible says, God shall heal us and set us free from miscarriages (Exodus 23:25).

  Beside all of these promises, we serve the Lord because He is our owner and our master. We serve Him voluntarily with gladness because He is our maker and our God (Psalms 100:3). That is why we must not serve God like an obligation so that we don't serve the enemy (Deuteronomy 28:47-48). Don't let anyone push you before you serve faithfully. And your reward shall be abundant. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always serve you with a true servant’s heart.

“ONLY SERVICE WITH A SERVANT’S HEART HAVE ETERNAL REWARD”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
