WHEN TO FAST    Matthew 9:9-17 Devotional:- “Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?" (v. 14) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional WHEN TO FAST Support Us Matthew 9:9-17 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is no way anyone can be strong mentally or physically if he spends all his days fasting. Food is one of the most important things a humans needs to keep fit to win in the race of life. If anyone does not take time to eat good food, he may not be strong enough in life. But then, in the midst of these, there is still a need sometimes to deny oneself of food.   Fasting is a spiritual exercise that helps you to deny yourself of the influence of the flesh to concentrate during prayer. This helps to relate with God in e...

A CONSECRATED HEART

PROVERBS 23:22-26
DEVOTIONAL: “My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways” (Vs.26)

    The state of our hearts is very important whenever we want to ask for anything in prayers and receive from God. The state of people’s heart is the reason they cannot receive from God. Our heart determines our motives and intentions. There is always an intention for asking in prayers. When our intention is wrong, then the prayer cannot be answered. This is why we need consecrated hearts.
    In today’s Scripture, there is a cry saying,” … give your heart to me”. This is the desire of God to every man. If anyone’s heart is not for God, it will be for the devil. This is the reason people ask amiss (James 4:3). Jesus told the Jews that they were following Him for fish and bread (John 6:26). A consecrated heart is a heart that has been given to Jesus. It is a heart that is devoted and dedicated to Him. Such heart has decided to follow Jesus and stay with Him no matter the circumstances (John 6:68). It is not following Jesus because its prayers were answered yesterday but it is staying with Him permanently because of who He is. 

    God knows that consecrated hearts will not go anywhere because He is their only hope. They are ever focused when they ask anything in prayer because they know that there is no other way. They wait on God until their answers come (Job 14:14). This is why a consecrated heart always enjoy special treatment from God. Receive the grace!

Prayer: Lord, I dedicate my life to you permanently from today in Jesus’ name.

“THE BEST IS ALWAYS RESERVED FOR THE PERMANENT”.

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...
