  SELF DENIAL  Mark 8:31-38 Devotional:- “ When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.34) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SELF DENIAL Support Us Mark 8:31-38 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com It is very easy for some people to relax because of discouragement. When such have put forth the best to achieve something good, and it looks as if the forces of life are standing against them, they want to give up and refuse to do something serious again. They take to the thought “I know it may not work”. But do you know, no matter what the enemy may be doing, your destiny is intact? There is nothing anyone can do to destroy your destiny. All they may achieve is to discour...

PRESS INTO IT

PRESS INTO IT     

Luke 16:14-18
Read: "The law and the prophets were until John: Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it” (v. 16)


    
     When you want to build a house, you will need a landed property. You cannot just jump on any land and start building, since it is not your own. You will need to first buy a landed property. Even when you buy it from the right owner, yet there are forces that will want to hinder you from building. That is why you must be strong (Ephesians 6:10)
 
    This is the reason it's never going to be easy gaining root and be strong in God. It is only people who are willing to pay the price that will access it. (Mark 8:34). The devil who has been ruling there before, will want to rule over every one. You are the one to stand your ground to say NO!
 
    Friend, don’t expect it to be easy to read your Bible or to be in church. The devil won’t make it easy for you to wake up to pray. The flesh will not encourage you to wait on the Lord in prayer and fasting. It won’t ever be easy to pick books and read or serve the Lord or go for soul winning exercises. These are the practices of the citizen of the kingdom of God. Jesus said, you must press into it. So, wake up and make up your mind on who rules over your life, Jesus or devil. Then you will make it to eternity. Stand up and press into it. You will win. 
 
Prayer: Lord strengthen me to press on
 
“LOOKING BACK IS MORE DANGEROUS, PRESS ON!

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...
