  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...

ACCESSING THE KINGDOM

ACCESSING THE KINGDOM      

Read: John 3:1-7
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (Vs. 5)


 

    Towns and cities differ in nature, customs, tradition and practices. What is right in one country may be wrong in another. That is why we need to learn about the nature of the kingdom of God. This is vital so that we can freely operate in it as citizens.
 
    Jesus taught in the Scripture we read today that, what gives a man the right of citizenship to the kingdom of God is being born again. It is becoming a territory for God because all men became territories for the devil through Adam (1 Corinthians 15:22). This is because we were formerly born of flesh and blood of man. The spirit of the flesh which we inherited from our parents is full of deficiencies and troubles. Water as referred to by Jesus, means the word of God (Isaiah 55:10-11). The Spirit here means the Holy Spirit. This begins as we believe and confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior (Romans 10:10). You will keep getting stronger in the spirit as you keep hearing the word of God (John 6:63, Ezekiel 2:2). 
 
    As we read, hear and meditate on the word of God, our lives begin to look like that of Jesus (getting transformed - 2 Corinthians 3:18, John 15:3). So, the forces you run from in the past will now begin to flee from you because you now reflect the image of Jesus, the son of God. Don’t ever play with your time to study the word of God and you will start reflecting the glory of God. Peace!
 
Prayer: Jesus, come and live in my heart totally from today.
 
“YOU ARE EITHER A TERRITORY FOR GOD OR NOT”

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...
