  ISAAC Genesis 26:12-24 Devotional:- “And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land"" (v.22) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional ISAAC Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Genesis 26:12-24 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com When we face some kind of challenge as children of God, it is of great importance that we search through the scriptures to know if there are men who have gone through such and overcome. This will serve as a means of courage and hope for us. This makes us know that our challenges are not strange, and not without solutions. Looking into the affairs of such an example also gives us a means of solution.   We need to know that every great one in the word of...

EFFORT   

Joshua 3: 13-17
Devotional: -“And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap" (v.13) NKJV


    For a life to go down, it does not really demand more than the person been idle and doing nothing about himself. But growth demands effort. Observe that weeds grow either we like it or not and they don't have to be planted (Matthew 13:24-26). But when you want any good plant to grow you must put effort of cultivating the ground, sowing the seed and watering it. 

God said to Joshua, the priest must take responsibility to step into the water before the Jordan will part for them to pass and it was so. That is why for us to grow spiritually, we must put in effort to break our fallow ground in readiness to receive the seed of the word for our growth (Hosea 10:12). We cannot embrace lackadaisical attitude and experience growth in life. 

For us to grow, we must first decide to grow, then we begin to seek the seed of the word for our growth. It demands you creating time to walk on yourself. Good things don't come easily and if you consider your walk with God so important to grow in it, then there is a need to put in effort. You must create time to be with Him. You must study His word and meditate in it. You must be willing to yield to His way. You will then realize you are growing gradually. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me not to give up in my thirst for growth.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
