  KINGDOM FIRST Matthew 6:25-34 Devotional:- “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (v.33) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional KINGDOM FIRST Support Us Matthew 6:25-34 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com   To reign in this wicked world, believers must understand the mystery of living a ‘kingdom first’ life. It is our lack of understanding of this teaching of Jesus Christ that has brought most of the frustrations to the lives of believers. Many of us also want to live like the people of the world around us. We have forgotten that the Spirit in us is not of the world. (John 17:14).   What is this mystery? It is a mystery of focusing and spending our lives on God’s purposes for our lives above all things to bring glory to God. The Bible says, ...

UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM

UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM     

Philippians 2:5-11
Devotional:-  “and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (v. 11)

   The kingdom of God is where God rules and reign. The word kingdom is from two words combined - ‘King’ ‘domain’. The domain of a king is what is called his kingdom. The word domain means territory or sphere of influence of a ruler. The kingdom of God is wherever God rules. Since God is the creator of the earth, He wants to rule everywhere. 

 
   The word of God says, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord. God gave the rulership of this world to Adam who lost it to the devil. But God has gained the rulership of this world through Jesus who redeemed us to God by His blood (Revelation 5:9-10). That is why evil, sicknesses or poverty has no right over your life. The time has come to define who is ruling in your heart. Is it Jesus or Satan? Is it sin or righteousness? 
 
   It is not those who just go to church that are candidate of the kingdom of God but those who allow Him to rule in their heart (Matthew 7:15-23). The kingdom of God and of the devil can't rule your life together. Light and darkness can't stay together (2 Corinthians 6:14-16). Many people thought they are children of God, but they live in sin. Sinful life is a characteristic of the kingdom of the devil. Everyone who lives in sin belong to the devil, says the word of God (1 John 3:8). If God is not ruling over your life you do not belong to His kingdom (Matthew 7:21-23). Allow His kingdom in your life from today and your life shall be set to reflect the glory of His kingdom. Peace.
 
Prayer: Lord, I rededicate my life for your kingdom from now.
 
“IF JESUS IS NOT YOUR KING, YOU DO NOT BELONG TO HIS KINGDOM”

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...
