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...

ACTION    

Isaiah 60: 1-7
Devotional:-“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you” (v. 1)


    Wisdom is wise action. No action, no wisdom. Talking is not equal to wisdom. Until there is a good result produced by our actions then, it is not yet wisdom. This is because wisdom is identified by its good result (Matthew 11:19). A major step that separates failure from success is action. Action does not mean automatic success but continuous wise action does. 

One thing that the devil doesn’t want the children of God to do today is wise action. So, he does all in his power to discourage people from acting on their dreams, ideas or desired goals. He knows that the moment there are continuous wise actions, he cannot stop achievements. That is why you and I must not allow discouragement of any kind to stop us. No matter how good a plan or an idea is, it is action that will make it a reality. Observe that miracle follow those who act and not those who sleep at home (Mark 16:17).

Friend, if the devil can get you sleeping, eating and playing, he has really gotten you. That will end a man up in poverty and failure (Proverbs 3:6-11). Do you have a song to sing then go on and sing it. Do you have a building drawing in your mind, then act fast. Do you have a vision or an idea, then pick a paper, put up a line of action and step out. Delay is dangerous. Publishing this book for me is an action. Stop waiting for a perfect weather, tomorrow might be late. Receive direction and act. The book of act of the Apostles is full of actions and not just plans of the apostles. Even in little strength, keep acting. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, I receive strength to arise.

"NO MATTER HOW GOOD A PLAN IS, IT IS ACTION THAT GIVES IT SUCCESS"

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...
