  FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD John 15:10-17 Devotional:- “You are My friends if you do whatever I command you” (v.14) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD Support Us John 15:10-17 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com The foundation of a building goes a long way to determine the stability of the building. So also if anyone will walk in wisdom to have dominion in the midst of his enemy, he must lay a proper foundation of this wisdom. One of the components of the foundation is friendliness with God. Your friendly attitude with God determines how much you will be able to exploit his strength for victory.   All of us in the world know how much we have to pay in prices to keep friendship. This is because we know what we may likely enjoy from it. You know that to keep a friend, you endure so much, f...

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
