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...

FILLED WITH WISDOM

FILLED WITH WISDOM     

Deuteronomy 34: 1-12
Devotional:-“Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses” (v.9) NKJV


    A man is said to be growing when he is filled with wisdom (Luke 2:40). This is a normal demonstration of growth. A major trouble in the life of most people today is the inability to grow in wisdom. It becomes more challenging when they cannot locate someone to counsel them in the way of wisdom. Since most people are not growing in wisdom, they cannot raise others in wisdom. Because, no man can give what he does not have. When parents are not filled with wisdom, the children cannot. When teachers do not possess wisdom, the students cannot.

    We read in the testimony of Joshua today that he was filled with wisdom. So also is Jesus, Solomon and the Apostles. Wisdom is evidential in taking wise action. It may not be easy to grow wisdom just by learning or reading about it. It is better given by following a wise master (Proverbs 13:20). Man is slow in learning; we are people who need to fail to succeed. That is why we need someone to show us, instruct us and correct us. 

    Joshua related closely with Moses, to be filled with wisdom, the laying of hands was not all it takes. That is an impartation. There is a need to humble yourself to relate with the wise and you will manifest the wisdom of God (Proverbs 13:20). This simply means, the kind of people you are relating with, will go a long way to determine who you will be in life. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord impart your wisdom into my life.

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...
