  START FROM THERE   2 Kings 4:1-7 Devotional:- “So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil”” (v.2) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional START FROM THERE Support Us 2 Kings 4:1-7 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com One of the tricks the devil wants to employ on us is to always make us unnecessary feeling inadequate. He is always making us to think we don’t have what we need to succeed. That is why most people often think if they have so, so and so then they would have been able to make it. But if we want to face the reality of life, right in our hands and heart lies what can make us succeed. It is true that we need the help and favour of God. But they will only catch up with us when we are us...

SAVED TO SERVE GOD

SAVED TO SERVE GOD     

2 Timothy 1:8-18
Devotional Verse:-“who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began”(V. 9)



    The falling of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden made man to become servants of sin. A greater percentage of the population of man today is not serving the Lord. Man actually prefers the service of sin because it looks rewarding and brings satisfaction to the flesh. It seems to satisfy immediate desire of man, though with much destructive results and experiences (John 10:10). It is because of the falling of man into sin that makes man slaves to the devil (Romans 6:16). For this reason, God sent Jesus Christ to redeem man from the slavery of the devil (1 John 3:8).


    The word of God says Jesus saved us and calls us with His own calling not according to our works, but according to His own purpose. Man is not saved to live as he likes. This is because everyone on earth is influenced daily by one spirit or the other (Job 32:18). It is the spirit that influences you that you'll serve his interest. People today serve the god of money or god of material wealth. Though, they think they are servants of God. But the bible says, man cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). 
    The reason Christ saves us is that we might stop serving the devil but to serve the living God (Exodus 10:7).
Men today serve the devil by their attitude, relationship, through words, by conduct, even in their mode of dressing. Friend, please know that you are created to serve God, you are not living for your interest. Living without serving God is the reason all things look upside down today. Jesus came to save you from serving the devil so that you will not lack eternal reward. You need to know that our eternal value is determined by who we serve in this world. You are saved to stop serving the interest of devil or self but God. Serve the Lord that you might be your best. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the understanding to serve you alone

“WHO YOU SERVE DETERMINES YOUR END”

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 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

  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.
