  RESIST HIM  James 4:1-10 Devotional:- “Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (v. 7) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional RESIST HIM Support Us James 4:1-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Each believer must carry the understanding that they are equipped to win. The word winning simply indicates there are battles. God did not promise a battle-free life, but a victorious life (1 John 5:4, John 16:33, Deuteronomy 20:1). So, for believers to face challenges is not a big deal. Since our victory is guaranteed. The end of the battle is determined from the beginning.   We only need to know that our battle is not ours, it is of the Lord. That is why Jesus said on the cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30). So you need to know that your challenges now are finished. All you h...

SELF ESTEEM        

1 Timothy 4:12-16
Devotional:-“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (v.12) NKJV


   A salient foundational problem of most people is what is called self-esteem. You need to know that we are made differently. Some people don’t have this problem by their nature, especially some sanguine and choleric. They easily demonstrate and talk it over, yet some of them still have to fight this trouble silently in their lives. It shows more on phlegmatic people because they cannot pretend. 

Low self-esteem is when; you see yourself to be of lesser value, not easy for you to socialize with people, extreme sensitivity to people’s opinion, over consciousness about your appearance or performance, judgmental view of others, parasite attitude in relationship, defensive in communication or intimidation by your past failures or mistakes (Isaiah 43:18-19). Paul told Timothy that he should not let anyone look down on him, so also each of us. A man with low self-esteem will still look like a failure even if he is better and blessed because he attached his value to wrong factor like money, materials or mistakes.

To grow your self-esteem is to grow your self-value. i.e., your worth through the word of God. Please know that whatever God says about you is final and not what man says (Matthew 16:13-17). Admit your mistakes don’t pretend to be perfect. That you are a man/woman of God means there is a human side of your life. Don’t take failure personally as though that is your identity. Keep admitting your weaknesses and growing to overcome them. And soon you will stand above.  Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from self-intimidation.

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...
