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...

RHEMA

 RHEMA       

1 Samuel 17:31-38
Devotional: -“Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God" (V. 36) NKJV


   Rhema is the spoken word of God. It generates tremendous energy of the Spirit; so much that God through it creates the heavens and the earth (John 1:1-3, Hebrews 11:3). The spoken word of God is the creative force of God. All children of God can access it for the solution of all form of challenges. 
 
   Please know that the written word of God (Logos) is different from the spoken word of God (Rhema). In bracket are the Hebrew names of those different words. The written word can do nothing (John 6:63, 2 Corinthians 3:6). Carrying the Bible or mere quoting it does not result to anything. Only the spoken word can manifests the energy of the spirit.
 
   To get the spoken word that produces the energy of the Spirit, we have to meditate on the written word ‘Logos’ (Psalms 119:97-100; Joshua 1:8; Psalms 1:1-3). We get the spoken words of God as we read or listen to men who are inspired by the Holy Spirit (2Chronicles 20:10-17)
 
   We get the spoken word of God as we learn to acknowledge the Holy Spirit for direction and our ears of the Spirit is trained to hear God (Romans 3:5-6). Please, know that in any given situation, the spoken word of God will energize you and make you strong to overcome (Ezekiel 2:2). Most of the miracles in the scripture came after the word was spoken. Peace.
 
PRAYER: Lord, give me your word for the manifestation of your power in my life.
 
“WHERE THE WORD OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS POWER”

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...
