SLOW TO SPEAK  James 1:12-20 Devotional:- “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath“ (V. 19) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SLOW TO SPEAK Support Us James 1:12-20 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com If a man is not trapped by his word, he can hardly be trapped in another way. So many times we are in judgment because we are not patient enough to hear and to know before we quickly reply or conclude matters. Do you know that many of the things that cause quarrels are not really worth it? But because we do not have the right understanding of matters, we then give our own interpretation, wrongly misinterpreting affairs and there by reacting with grievances (Proverbs 18:13). Though we may later realise our reaction is based on a wrong impression, it might have b...

DOING HIS WILL

DOING HIS WILL   

Matthew 7: 24-29
Devotional:-“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:” (v. 24)


    The heart of man always wants to fathom his own way. That is why we need to mind the spirit that our heart submits to (Romans 6:16). A carnal mind does not think of submitting to God, the Bible says he cannot (Romans 8:5-7). As a child of God, when we live in the way of the word of God, we are walking in the wisdom of God and not of men.

 The scripture we read today says when we hear and obey the word of God, we are wise. We are wise because we will be building a life that cannot be destroyed by the mind and the storm of life. This is building on the wisdom of the ages that has pass through the test of time and keeps winning. That is why you must count the instructions of the word of God to be your wisdom (Deuteronomy 4:6). 

The word of God is our wisdom because God is wiser than us (Isaiah 55: 8-11). For example, it could look foolish to give a tenth of your income in church, but it is the wisdom of God because the word of God commanded it (Malachi 3:10-12). Those who obey the word of God knows what they gain from it. That makes some to even give 30% or more as tithe. So also is every instructions of the word of God (Prov 3: 5-6). Be wise to obey the Lord. The word is the law of the spirit and cannot be calculated by human mind. The devil or the flesh or worldly friends will never encourage you to do the will of God because they are not of God. God is superior to all and His word is superior. There are so many things we can't see or know. Be wise to always obey the Lord. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always submit to your word.

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.

DOMINION

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
