  LIVING BY FAITH  Romans 1: 8-17 Devotional:- “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."” (v.17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional LIVING BY FAITH Support Us Romans 1: 8-17 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most Christians are still very confused about living by faith. The reason is that we always want the easy way out. We see the way of faith as too demanding of us. So many people believe that the way of the law is better. This is a product of the moral and legal backgrounds some had. Some people would rather believe in bondage than believe that we are free. We like to embrace the fact rather than the truth.   There are different kinds of ways people live in this world. God wants you, as a New Testament believer, to live b...

RELIGIOUS PRIDE

RELIGIOUS PRIDE                 

Luke 18:9-14
Devotional Verse:- “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."  (Vs. 14)

    In the kingdom of God, there is no room for pride (James 4:6). This is because there is nothing we have that is not given to us by the Lord (John 3:27). Everything in God comes to us by grace (Ephesians 2:8). Pride is not an attitude of any mature believer. The Bible says that God resists the proud and gives more grace to the humble (James 4:6). Which means proud people will disconnect themselves from God.
     The Scripture tells us about the parable of two men who went to pray in the temple. The first man was proud of his religious titles and qualifications. He was proud of his righteousness before God. The second man was humble to confess his weaknesses and limitations. Jesus said that the second man who was humble, was justified by the Lord.
 
     Friend, be careful about going before God with your qualifications or your work for His kingdom. This may hinder your prayers. The blessings of this kingdom is reserved for the humble (Matthew 5:3-5). Promotion only comes to people in this kingdom when they are humble (Luke 14:11). Don't join people who are going down. There is nothing in this world that qualifies anyone to be proud (1 Peter 5:6). Humble yourself and you will soon be at the top. Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of pride
 
“FROM THE DAY YOU START TO HUMBLE YOURSELF, GRACE FOR GROWTH WILL START TO FLOW IN YOU”

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...
