DEFINE PLEASURE  Proverbs 21:12-21 Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.” (v. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DEFINE PLEASURE Support Us Proverbs 21:12-21 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but there is a need to define what it means in a way that it will not bring destruction to you. Pleasure to most people means idleness, sleeping, jesting, watching T.V and all sorts of films, extravagant spending at beer parlous and hotels, eating in all the city kitchens and to some it is just travelling all around. The truth is that none of those things are real pleasure. If those things are what you call pleasures, then, no matter how much you have now, poverty and sorrow are on the way. Real pleasure is not that which man creat...

DON’T WORRY

DON’T WORRY

Matthew 6:25-34
Devotional Verse:-"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” (Vs. 25)

 


    Worry is not a lifestyle of God’s kingdom citizen. Our lifestyle as citizens of the kingdom of God is the life of complete trust in God. People worry because of unpredictable help, uncertain hope or unfulfilled promises. When a man is in a time of need, he wants to have a word of assurance of his help. If there is a promise that is lingering, it naturally creates room for worry and tension (Prov. 13:12). 
 
    Worry is a function of faith becoming weary. It is a function of confidence becoming weak. Worry is a sign or feeling of being abandoned. It is simply human to worry but as children of God, we should know that God is not a man (Numbers 23:19). Whenever you are relating with God, you should not make the mistake of thinking that He is a man who will fail.
 
    Whenever God makes promises, He always fulfills them (1 Thessalonian 5:24). When He promises us anything, He expects us to believe Him in faith to obey Him. Our worries will not let God keep us close enough because they are offensive to Him. Thank God! He understands our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15). We really need to pray to overcome the habit of worrying. We need to cultivate the habit of trusting God by depending on Him. That way, we can easily receive our blessings from Him. You will not fail in Jesus name. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me victory over worry. 

“WORRY IS NOT A CONCERN BUT A WEAKNESS”.

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...
