LOOKING INWARD   Luke 15:11-24 “ But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! ” (V.17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional LOOKING INWARDS Support Us Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Luke 15:11-24 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Those who will walk into greatness as the Lord is promising in this season are people who will look inward rather than look outward. Looking inward has to do with sitting down to see what you can work out that will make men be on the lookout for you. Men who will take responsibility to think and think through their challenges. Men who believe in using what God has packaged in them to deliver themselves. There is a good example in the parable of the lost son. This young ma...

SELF DENIAL

SELF DENIAL     

Matthew 16:24-28
Devotional: -“Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.24) NKJV


    An important factor in the process of discipleship is that, you must deny yourself to be able to follow Jesus. Self, is the major hindrance to our walking with God. By self, I mean the flesh, this is the human nature in us. This human nature has been cultured into sinful and selfish life. The flesh does not want to please God (Romans 8:5-8). So, those who are ruled by the desires of their flesh cannot please God.

`If anyone want to be a disciple of Jesus, he/she must deny the flesh to satisfy God. Our body is made up to help us relate with the physical world, but we must put it under control, so that, it does not send us to hell (1 Corinthians 9:27). The flesh is the five senses that always give us information of the things of the world. 

`Every attempt you made to please God; your human nature will not support it. So, you need to deny it by not allowing it control you against God, but yielding to the Holy Spirit and the word of God. It is then you can begin to grow into the likeness of Christ. Your ability to say No to the flesh and Yes to God is a good step towards maturity. Then, His beauty shall be seen on you. Peace!

Prayer - Lord, give me the enablement to yield to you always.

“EVERY MAN IS EITHER YIELDING TO GOD OR TO THE FLESH”

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.

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.

WAYS ON WATER Exodus 14:10-22 Devotional:- “So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.” (v. 22) NKJV      The enemy's trick in the lives of so many people today is to make them believe that they have come to their crossroads and that the road has ended. So many always agree with this deceptive thought, which leads to their frustrations. The enemy makes them look at situations around them as evidence of his words. So, many people easily agree with the devil and become victims of his deceit.
