WORRY-FREE LIFE  Matthew 6:25–34 Devotional:- Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? (V. 27) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional WORRY-FREE LIFE Support Us Matthew 6:25–34 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is nothing wrong in being careful. He that is not careful, will fall into many troubles. What Jesus is teaching us to avoid in life is the kind of care that makes us carry on our head what is wrong in our lives, and these all reflect on us. This is a level of anxiety. A careful man will observe his way and succeed, but an anxious man will be weeping in hopelessness. A careful man will avoid what can make him sick, but an anxious man will have a burden that produces sickness. The instruction of Jesus is therefore telling us to avoid carrying a burden of anxiety. There is a thin line bet...

THE BLESSING OF PERSECUTION

THE BLESSING OF PERSECUTION           

John 15:18-25
Devotional Verse:-“Remember the word that I said to you,'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also” (Vs. 20)

 


    Jesus teaches us that the blessings of the Lord are for those who go through persecution for righteousness sake (Matt. 5:10-12). It is almost impossible for anyone to live a godly life in the world without been persecuted. Jesus said that if He was persecuted, then we will also be persecuted.
 
    Persecution is a reaction orchestrated by darkness because you are the light of the world. In this world, people of no light always stand against the people in the light. The moment you sincerely give your life to Christ, your life will become different. Your decisions and actions will always be geared towards pleasing God. Since the world is known for the opposite, you will definitely stand out as been odd. Usually, people are criticized for doing what is wrong but in this case, you will be persecuted for doing the will of God.
 
    Don’t feel odd whenever you are persecuted, because Jesus has said that great is your reward in heaven (Matt. 5:12). To go through the period of persecution successfully, ensure that you stay close to the fellowship of brethren where you are recognized (Act 4:23). Refuse to be discouraged. Don’t be offended in God (Matthew 11:6). The Lord will see you through and make your story a blessing to your world. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, uphold me in times of persecution
 
“PERSECUTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AN EVIDENCE OF YOUR RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD”

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 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.
