SOURCE OF WISDOM  Proverbs 2:1-11 “For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (V. 6) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SOURCE OF WISDOM Support Us Proverbs 2:1-11 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com The wisdom of this world is devised by men to fulfil their lust. But true wisdom proceeds from God. If any man needs the true wisdom that can give value to life, God is the source of it. Wisdom of men may bring quick profit but with many sorrows and afflictions. But God’s wisdom brings a man to honour, glory and enduring riches (Prov. 8:18)   All that man needs about God is in His word (The Bible). It is not just available anyhow. That is why you don’t receive them no matter how much you read. They are hidden treasures of God. It takes a man who will seek and search to find...

FORGIVING BEFORE GIVING

FORGIVING BEFORE GIVING 

Matthew 5:23-26
Devotional Verse:- “leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” (Vs. 24)


   We often want to give to God knowing full well that He will reward us in multiple folds. Sometimes, people forget to give people around them things because of greed and even when they give, they do so because of reward mentality. This is not right (Matthew 6:4). The Bible teaches us to give, not because people can pay us back (Luke 14:12-14). Our giving should be a demonstration of love. Our giving should be in obedience to God’s commandment. This is when we are doing what is right before God.

     Jesus teaches us in our Scripture for today that before giving God anything, we must first forgive those who have offended us. The reason is that, we can’t hate people and claim to love God (1 John 4:20). This makes a seed before the Lord to be unacceptable.

    Jesus says whenever we want to give God anything and we realize that we have not forgiven certain people; we should pause in the process and first forgive them. The Bible tells us that God loves cheerful givers (I Cor. 9:7). Don’t ever be angry with anyone and laugh with God. If your giving is a demonstration of love, then the same love should be extended to your fellow men and not only to God (1 John 4:20). Sacrifice is an act of love and can only be acceptable from a heart of true love. Our seeds will not waste in Jesus name. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, make me a giver of love.

“ONLY GIVING THROUGH LOVE IS ACCEPTABLE TO GOD”

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.

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.
