DILIGENCE   Proverbs 22:17-29 Devotional:- “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed. (V.29) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DILIGENCE Support Us Proverbs 22:17-29 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Diligence is a product of a strong desire to achieve a good end. Many people have always desire for achievement but the desire has not been strong enough to produce the required passion of diligence in them. So they could not reach their goal.   Before your desire can be strong enough to drive you to achievement, you need a well-defined goal (meaningful, profitable and worthy of being proud of). When your goal is well defined, you should be ready to sow the entirety of yourself into it. Without your involvement, your vision cannot be fulfilled. A busines...

ANGER AND RECONCILIATION

ANGER AND RECONCILIATION             

Matthew 5:20-22
Devotional Verse:-“But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother,'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says,'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire” (Vs. 22).

 


    When a man is angry naturally, he looks for a way to carry out revenge. This is because he needs to unleash his anger on someone. Anger, when not really subdued in the heart of a man can cause death. That is why the word of God tells us that though we can be angry, we must not commit sin (Ephesians 4:26).
     In our Scripture for today, Jesus told us that we should learn to live above anger. We must cultivate the habit of forgiving others instead. Remember that it was the anger which Cain didn’t take care of that made him murder his brother (Genesis 4:4-8). It was also because of anger that Joab the captain of the army of David murdered Abner in cold blood (II Samuel 3:20). Jesus said that this will lead to eternity in hell if not taken care of.
 
    It is the lifestyle of kingdom citizens to reconcile with offenders and not allow anger to build up bitterness that leads to a bitter life (Hebrews 12:15). God commands us to bless and not to curse (Romans 12:14). Friend, there is no curse that is right. All that should come out of your mouth as a child of God even in the heat of anger should be blessing and peace. This is because what comes out of your mouth is from the state of your heart (Matthew 12:34). Let your words always bless others from a blessed heart and not curse. Remember also that your words are your seed and they shall become your future harvest (Galatians 6:7). Always sow the word of His blessing and that shall be your harvest. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to live above the spirit of anger.
 
“AN ANGRY MAN IS MORE WOUNDED THAN OTHERS”

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.
