SLOW TO SPEAK  James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath“ (V. 19) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SLOW TO SPEAK Support Us James 1:12-20 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com If a man is not trapped by his word, he can hardly be trapped in another way. So many times we are in judgment because we are not patient enough to hear and to know before we quickly reply or conclude matters. Do you know that many of the things that cause quarrels are not really worth it? But because we do not have the right understanding of matters, we then give our own interpretation, wrongly misinterpreting affairs and there by reacting with grievances (Proverbs 18:13). Though we may later realise our reaction is based on a wrong impression, it might have b...

A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST

A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST     

Luke 6: 39-42
Devotional:-“A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher” (v.40) NKJV



Today, there are many people in the church that are not disciples of Jesus. The plan of God for the church is that we might make disciples of the people on the earth (Matt 28:19). The first task therefore is that, we should become disciples of Christ A disciple of Jesus is the one who have encounter Christ (Like 5:4-11). He has seen the power of God at work and not just what somebody said (1 John 1:1-3). 
    According to our scripture today, he is the one who want to be like Jesus. He/She is the one who have determined to live as Christ lived. A disciple of Jesus is the one who has made up his/her mind to follow Jesus. The motive behind his mind for following Jesus is to learn from Him and follow His examples. The reason our needs are not met most times, is because our motive for following Jesus is just to meet our personal needs. The moment our needs are met, our commitment to Christ is often negotiated (John 6:26-27). 

    Friend, Jesus is not coming for just anyone else but for only His disciples. You need to check your motive for been in the house of God. If it is not to be a follower of Christ, then your motive is wrong. If you make up your mind to be a disciple of Jesus, those needs will no longer be a trouble because Jesus always meet the needs of those who follow Him (Matthew 6:33). It is time you check yourself and put things right. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful follower of Jesus 

"WHEN YOU PUT THE RIGHT THING RIGHT, ALL SHALL BE RIGHT"

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   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.
