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...

THE PRINCIPAL THING

THE PRINCIPAL THING  

Proverbs 4: 1-9
Devotional:-"Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding" (v.7)

=

God's ways are sure way to get result in life, but not many knows the way, that is why many so called Christians today lives in frustration. The major thing that is missing is wisdom. Most people in this part of the world allow religion to take them away from wisdom. Many can pray so well without using their mind. This is one of the greatest challenge in our Christian journey in this part of the world. 

The word of God which is the book of wisdom says that “wisdom is principal thing”. Another version says “wisdom is the wisest thing you can get”. The reason it is the wisest thing to get is because, without it many things cannot be achieved. Even when we pray, it is by wisdom that the answers will be accessed. That is why a life without wisdom will be full of confusion and stagnation. 

Friend, whatever it will cost you to get wisdom, please get it. Wisdom is not been cunning or crafty as some supposed, it is rather the operation of hindsight for insight, it is the ability to turn knowledge to practical action for practical result. Wisdom actions are sincerity in doing what is needed to make an occasion work out successfully. Without wisdom, knowledge is ineffective. Seek it with all your heart and you will find it. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me wisdom for good result in life. 

"UNTIL WISDOM COME, NO ONE WILL TRULY SUCCEED

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 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...
