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...

SOLOMON

SOLOMON    

2 Chronicles 9:13-28
Devotional: - “And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.” (v.23)


    Reading through the achievements of King Solomon today, we find the catalogue of his greatness. This is a man who love and serve the Lord like you and me (1 kings 3:3). By the reason of the wisdom of God in his life, he became the wisest in his time and all king seek for his counsel. 

The source of all these great achievements is the wisdom of God. The life of King Solomon proves the reality of divine wisdom. He asked God for wisdom and it was given to him (1 kings 3:3-12). We can see the manifestation of his wisdom in the word of God. 

Friend, Jesus said, He is greater than Solomon (Matt 12:42). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom (Isaiah 11:1-3). The Holy Spirit is in you, so don't stay in impossibility for life. All you need is the wisdom of separating yourself prayerfully to ask for light (Proverbs 18:1 KJV). We must learn to use our mind even as we pray. There is a way out, please, understand that your mind is equally important as your spirit and your time to think as important as your time of prayer (Ephesians 3:20, Proverbs 4:23). Greatness is already in the package for your redemption (Revelation 5:9-10). You will succeed in Jesus Name. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to be awake in the use of my mind.

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...
