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...

LOVING THE KING    

1 John 4:12-21
Devotional: “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” (V. 16)
    
     Anyone who want to be part of the kingdom of God must be willing to love the king of the kingdom. Those who do not love the king cannot have the best of the kingdom. The foundation on which the kingdom of God is built is love. That is why it become so important for all in the kingdom to build in the foundation of love. This is so important because God is love (1 John 4:7-8)
 
    To love Jesus who is the King, you must be willing to accept Him as your Lord and savior. This is because He has shed His precious blood to redeem your soul (Revelation 5:9). To love Him you must be willing to obey His instructions (John 14:15). To love Him you must love other people also (1 John 4:20). To love Him you must love His word (Psalms 119:97-99). To love Him you will love to spend time with Him in worship and prayers daily (Job 22:21). To love Him you will love to serve Him (Job 36:11). To love Him you must be a giver and be willing to share His good news with others (John 21:15-19). 
 
    Friend, this is what it takes to have the best of the kingdom of God. This will be possible by the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). And the king will bless you. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, let the Holy Spirit help me to love the Lord indeed
 
"ONLY THE LOVER OF GOD WILL STAND TO THE END"

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...
