DEFINE PLEASURE  Proverbs 21:12-21 Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.” (v. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DEFINE PLEASURE Support Us Proverbs 21:12-21 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but there is a need to define what it means in a way that it will not bring destruction to you. Pleasure to most people means idleness, sleeping, jesting, watching T.V and all sorts of films, extravagant spending at beer parlous and hotels, eating in all the city kitchens and to some it is just travelling all around. The truth is that none of those things are real pleasure. If those things are what you call pleasures, then, no matter how much you have now, poverty and sorrow are on the way. Real pleasure is not that which man creat...

DECISION MAKING

DECISION MAKING   

Genesis 13:1- 15
Devotional:-“Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left" (v.9) NKJV


    Our decisions are what cumulates to determine our result. That is why someone said, our decision determines our destination in life. Decision making is what we use and practice almost every time. If indeed it is important, then we must give ourselves to growing in it. 

The phrase “decision making” means making decisions. This means we need a process to make decisions and not just jump into conclusion. Abraham should have chosen to discipline the servants of Lot and even his own servants or scold Lot himself as a leader, but insight helped him to know the lasting solution to the trouble and he took a decision. Even God was waiting for his decision before blessing him more (Genesis 13:14-17). So, decision delayed is destiny denial. 

To grow in decision demands the following: always consider options, consider the effect of your decision on others either positive or negative, consider the long-term effect of your decision and be sure it does not displease the Lord. Getting use to these processes will give you the skill of making decisions. Each of your decisions will surely prove your level of growth in wisdom. Don't be afraid to make some mistakes. Don’t mind those who laugh at you. Keep learning and growing. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, teach me to make good decisions.

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...
