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...

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE     

1Samuel 30: 1-10
Devotional:-“Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep” (v. 4) NKJV


    Every man or woman who want to progress in life must take it upon themselves to grow emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is our ability to manage our emotion not to break down or even react to people negatively because of a particular event or experience. 

We saw today how David broke down in tears as a leader with all his people. When people are emotionally weak, you need to allow them to weep and exhaust themselves like David did. There was a time that Jesus also wept (John 11:35). It is not outrightly wrong to weep when you can’t help the situation, but there is a need to grow above such emotional weakness.

To grow emotionally, is to be sincere with your weakness and strength. Stop pretending that you are mister know it all. You must not over judge yourself in any issue. You are not Mr. or Mrs. mistakes. There is no one who cannot make mistakes. Always exercise self-control in any occasion. Learn to be self-motivated in any situation. Don’t wait for anyone to encourage you before you encourage yourself and others around you (1 Samuel 30:6). Make a decision to be free to relate without fear. That way you will discover that you are not the only weak one. Everyone is growing, don’t over celebrate any problem or progress. Pray for the grace to forgive instantly and you will be strong emotionally. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, make me a growing person.

"WHEN YOU REFUSE TO BREAKDOWN, YOU WILL ALWAYS BUILD-UP"

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.

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...
