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...

STUDY        

Proverbs 25:1-7
Devotional: -“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter” (V. 2) NKJV



   To study is to be curious. To study is to go on a search. To study is to give quality attention to find out a matter. To study is to put in quality attention to access the deep secret or mystery of an information. We can access the power in the word of God by studying the word.  Those who will not study, will not be able to access the power.

   The word of God says to us, that God takes glory and honour in hiding things. That means, though the power of God is available to all but not all will access it. The word of God tells us that only Kings or Ruler takes the honour in searching the power in the word of God. God makes His power a secret i.e. a bank, because He wants people to pay the price of searching (Deuteronomy 29:29). This is because, whatever that is common only makes common people, but only deep searchers are ordained by their discoveries to rule. As much as the word of God is powerful, each of us has to pay the price of studying.

   Let us therefore be willing to commit our lives and energy to studying the word of God. It is not a mere book or a mere word but the power bank of God. The riches of this world are not found on the surface. You do not need to give yourself to studying volume at a time, but be consistent in your study. This is by satisfying the questions of your heart by the help of the Holy Spirit. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart to always study your word.

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.

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...
