  BE VIGILANT 1 Peter 5:7-14 Devotional:- “ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour ” (v.8) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional BE VIGILANT Support Us 1 Peter 5:7-14 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Just like a soldier at the battle front, so are Christians in this world. Since the day you confessed Jesus as your Lord and savior you have decamped from the camp of the devil to that of Jesus (1 Peter 2:9). These camps are ever against one another, just like light and darkness cannot co-exist.   So you as a Christian must not relax. You must be vigilant. The word vigilant means your mind must be alert. It means you must be sensitive. It means you must be battle ready. To be sober simply means to humbly accept the responsibility of y...

SALT AND LIGHT

SALT AND LIGHT          

Matthew 5:13-16
Devotional Verse:- "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men” (Vs. 13).

 


    Salt has the characteristics of sweetening, preserving and cleansing just like light has the nature of illuminating, revealing and dominating darkness. In His teachings, Jesus likened believers to salt and light. These are the two powerful combinations that ordained every child of God to stand out and be a blessing wherever they are.
    Like the salt, our lifestyles should bring sweetness to every relationship and community we find ourselves. This can be done if we remain in the peace and joy of God wherever we are (Philip. 4:4-5). Also, like salt preserves, we should be the sustainer of all good things around us by enduring with others and standing by faith in the word of God (Hebrews 1:3). To cleanse like salt does, we should be the cleansing agent wherever we are either in the house or office. This is by been an example of righteousness in all situation and others can emulate us for good.
 
    To illuminate as light, we are expected to bring understanding of wisdom and truth everywhere, so that people can see rightly. Through the light in us, we should prevail over darkness (John 1:5). This includes living by faith to overcome in all situations (1 John 5:4). Every one of us should take time to inculcate these characteristics into our lives so that it can become our lifestyle. In doing this, you will find the grace to reflect the glory of God (1 Peter 2:9). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me a sweetening agent and a light everywhere.
 
“BE THE SALT AND LIGHT EVERYONE NEEDS!”

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...
