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...

GROWING IN FINANCES

GROWING IN FINANCES        

1 Thessalonians 4: 9-12
Devotional:-“that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing” (v.12) NKJV


  Just like we have to grow in the strength of the Lord, in relationship with God and people, making a good home, in managing our own businesses, growing in faith and in wisdom, so also in handling finances. A major area where the devil punishes many Christians today is in the area of money. It is the reason many are frustrated and are moving from church to church. 

   To grow in finance does not only mean to have more money alone, but to have the godly understanding towards money. The word of God says, we should not lack. The first Church was not in lack (Act 4: 34). Remember you are a member of the body of Christ. Which means you are connected to Jesus and are now one with Him. Because you are in Him, He will always flow His blessings to you. You will therefore need to grow in handling money matter so that we can be a blessing to God’s kingdom. 

There is a need for all of us to trust God to earn from multiple businesses (1 Thessalonian 4:11-12). As we wait on the Lord, He will give us vision for businesses (Isaiah 40:31). We must grow in discipline to save a determined percentage of all our earnings. We must save ahead for any project we desire to achieve for the glory of God. We must grow the habit of spending what remain only after our savings. We must have the habit of faithfulness to God in paying our tithe, offering and kingdom project. We must make it a habit to regularly bless ministers of God and be diligent in our business. That way, you will not lack and you will keep growing. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, make me a master over money.

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...
