LONG LIFE        Proverbs 9:10-12 Devotional:- “For by me your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you” (V. 11) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional LONG LIFE Support Us Proverbs 9:10-12 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Let us learn from the life of Job; he was the wisest man in the whole of the east in his days. And the Bible says he died being old and full of days. (Job 42:17). Even though he went through tribulations, he did not die in them. Wisdom kept him alive until he inherited long life. Generally, it is not in the plan of God that anyone die early. That is the reason the Word of God promise us long life (Psalm 91:16). One of the blessings of wisdom is long life. It is therefore important that one keep walking in wisdom to be able to enjoy the grace of long life (Prover...

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”

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.

DOMINION

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
