(V. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional PITY THE POOR Support Us Proverbs 19:15-20 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most people on earth have never risen from the poor level of life to a greater level, but no sooner man get engrafted into a level higher than the poor, he forgets his past and never remembers the poor. Many even make the mistake of postponing when they shall remember the poor until they get very rich. They have forgotten that God is the giver of all riches, and his purpose in giving us is to help others. God is simply looking for someone who can be a channel of blessing to the poor.

SUBMISSION

SUBMISSION             

Matthew 3:13-17
Devotional Verse:-“But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him” (Vs. 15)

 


    One major lifestyle of citizens of the kingdom of God is submission. Though, it is not the best way to live, but it is the only way to live as children of God. This is because when people don’t submit to God, they will submit to the devil. So, consciously or unconsciously, every man is submitting to something. We can only be truly called the children of God if we submit to God and our leaders in God (James 4:7-8).  
 
    In our Scripture for today, we see that John the Baptist who was the forerunner of Jesus baptized Him. A forerunner is a servant who goes before the master. Jesus knew that John was His forerunner, yet, He submitted Himself to be baptized by him. Why did He do this? It is to fulfill all righteousness.
 
    It is the lifestyle of God’s kingdom citizens to submit themselves to God and the people He has placed over them (1 Peter 2:13, 1 Peter 5:5). To submit is to be humble enough to listen to and obey the leader who speaks to us according to the will of God. If we are submissive, we will not be disobedient to God and His servants (Ephesians 5:12). Don’t be rebellious, but rather, choose to be submissive to the ordinances of God. As you do this, your lifting will soon be evident (1 Peter 5:6). Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a submissive spirit.
 
“HE THAT IS NOT SUBMITING TO GOD IS SUBMITTING TO THE DEVIL”

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.
