  BELIEVE THE LORD    Luke 1:39-45 Devotional:- “Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfilment of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (v. 45) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional BELIEVE THE LORD Support Us Luke 1:39-45 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com We need to understand the place of faith in the accomplishment of the will of God for our lives. This is because God’s faithfulness cannot be overestimated. And without faith, it will be impossible to receive anything from Him (Hebrews 11:6). So you have to learn to believe Him for His word.   Sometimes in life, when we seem to have believed God several times for something to happen, and yet they do not, we then find it difficult to believe Him again. Some of us even ask, “Does God really answer prayers?” But this question i...

PRAYER AND FASTING

PRAYER AND FASTING

Matthew 6:16-18
Devotional Verse:- "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward” (Vs. 16)

 


    Fasting is an act of depriving the flesh of the pleasure of foods and other activities for the purpose of seeking God. Fasting helps us to concentrate, be spiritually alert, sensitive and gives quality attention on God in times of prayers. It also gives us access to deep revelations of God. 
 
    As good as fasting is, it should not be turned into a religious ritual as some people make it. Fasting should not be a means of bribing God after we have sinned because no one can bribe God. It should also not to be taken as the giver of God’s power. In fasting, God needs our total submission to His will and wisdom (Isa. 58:6-8). While fasting, it is unnecessary to disfigure yourself by leaving your hair uncombed or going about frown your face. If you have the privilege of fasting, it is important that you separate yourself in a quiet place to pray instead of going about and making people greet you by asking, “Hope all is well” or “How is the fast?” 
 
    If you allow all these, then it means you have missed the essence of the fasting. Fasting without praying is hunger strike. You need the grace to fast for a deep and rewarding fellowship with God, so that your story will change for good. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, strengthen me for a deep fellowship with you regularly.

“FASTING SHOULD SPEED UP OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD”.

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...
