  JACOB Genesis 31:3-13 Devotional:- "And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted.” (v.10) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional JACOB Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Genesis 31:3-13 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Among those who ruled in the midst of their enemies was Jacob. Right from the time he was in the womb, it’s been said about him that he struggled with his brother (Gen 25:22). So, he started his life battle from the womb.   When he grew up, he lived a life of struggle till he ran from his father’s house to the house of Laban, only to find out that he had run away from his brother to the hand of another enemy. Such is the life of many today who keep running from place ...

TIMES OF TRIAL

TIMES OF TRIAL           

Hebrews 12:3-11
Devotional Verse:-“Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” (Vs.11)

 

    Every child of God must be ready for a time of test. It is one of the habits of God to allow His children to be tested once in a while (Genesis 22:1, Job 1:10-12). No one loves to be tested, but tests are the best ways to ascertain the genuineness of the heart and strength of man. A time of test is a time when God is attempting to check on our level of growth in His will.   
    In today’s Scripture, we see that God’s word encourages us not to resist a time of temptation but to stand firm in the will of God. Even in our test, the Bible says that we must not yield to sin (Hebrews 12:4). As God’s children, we will go through all kinds of temptations but we must be firm enough to pass every test (Hebrews 4:15). We pass these tests when we resist the devil and refuse to follow his suggestions (Matthew 4:4). It is important for you to know that the purpose of temptation is for promotion (James 1:12, Hebrews 12:11). Your test could be either on finance, relationship, church family commitments, prayer life, service to God, instruction to give etc.
 
    However, in every test, learn to always ask for the assistance of the Holy Spirit who would not allow you to be tempted above what you can bear (1 Cor. 10:13). He will make a way for you. You may be going through a tough time now, don’t give in or give up. Hold on to God who will at the end of the day give you a victory and lifting! Peace!
 
PRAYER: Lord, uphold me in trying times in Jesus’ name.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
