  SELF DENIAL  Mark 8:31-38 Devotional:- “ When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.34) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SELF DENIAL Support Us Mark 8:31-38 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com It is very easy for some people to relax because of discouragement. When such have put forth the best to achieve something good, and it looks as if the forces of life are standing against them, they want to give up and refuse to do something serious again. They take to the thought “I know it may not work”. But do you know, no matter what the enemy may be doing, your destiny is intact? There is nothing anyone can do to destroy your destiny. All they may achieve is to discour...

PEACE MAKER

PEACE MAKER      

Hebrews 12:12-17
Devotional Verse:0“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord” (Vs. 14).

 


    One of the greatest values that flow in the heart of the citizens of the kingdom of God is peace. This is because our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6). When Jesus was physically leaving the earth, He pledged to give peace to all His children by saying, “Peace I leave with you” (John 14:27). This peace is always visible in the life of any true child of God.      The Bible admonishes us to seek peace with all men by striving to be at peace with everyone around us. When we are at peace with all men, we become known as “peacemakers” (Matt. 5:9). Peacemakers create peace where there is no peace and resolve conflict.  The opposite of peace is war. A peacemaker is therefore someone who by the wisdom of God labours to unite parties that are at war. As a child of God, this should be your lifestyle. So, do all in your strength to be a peace maker.
 
    Making peace helps you not to fall away from the grace of God. It also helps you to disallow the root of bitterness in your heart. As you do this, the peace of God will keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus and your life will be full of the sweetness of God (Philip. 4:7). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a peacemaker in all situations. 
 
“TO BE LIKE CHRIST, IS TO BE A PEACE MAKER”

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.

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...
