TAKE THE LOWLY PLACE  Luke 14:7-14 Devotional:- But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. (V. 10) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional TAKE THE LOWLY PLACE Support Us Luke 14:7-14 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com No one wants to be a floor member. But do you know that honour is better than shame? When some people are invited to occasion, oftentimes think they are so important and expecting too much honour only to earn shame in return. When you are invited to any occasion, dress well but humble yourself; you are not to be the most important. Don’t begin to think you are the only person there. Be willing to sit in the low place.

PRAYING WITH A VOW

PRAYING WITH A VOW  

1 SAMUEL 1:8-12
DEVOTIONAL “Then she made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head” (Vs. 11).

   Praying with a vow is a catalyst to our prayers being answered. This is because, God has needs as much as we have needs. God is in need of men and women who will help Him to carry out His plan on earth (John 4:23). He needs people who will allow Him to use them to touch other people’s lives so as to perfect His will (Ezekiel 22:30).
   When Hannah prayed in her time, she could discover one of the needs of Israel and made a vow. No one trained his or her child to serve the Lord faithfully. At that time, people indoctrinated their children to take to other professions so that they can become rich, but Hannah made a vow to release her son to serve the Lord and she fulfilled it. There was no king or ruler in the land at that time, yet God answered her prayers.

   Friend, when you place a need before the Lord in prayers, try to know the needs of the house of God or of the servant of the Lord and strive to meet them. Be careful about making empty promises because God hates that. When you have it in heart (to meet such needs), heaven will approve your prayers so that the needs of God might be met through you. Learn to be as prompt as Hannah was in making and fulfilling her vow. As you do this, your prayers will be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to be mindful of your needs

“WHEN YOU MEET THE NEEDS OF GOD, HE WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS”.

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.
