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...

WAYS OF WISDOM

WAYS OF WISDOM 

Proverbs 3:11-18
Devotional:-“Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;” (v.13)


    Wisdom will locate solutions to any situation for progress. Many people become discouraged when they want to search out for wisdom solution to a given situation. This is because, the more they search, the more they are confused. The reason is because God remains the giver of wisdom. That is why when wisdom is found, it produces joy. 

God is the source and the giver of wisdom (Proverbs 2:7). But most often, it is the intended receiver that is not ready to receive. That is why reading does not necessary gives wisdom. The word of God says wisdom is only given to the prudence (Proverbs 8:12). So, if any will receive wisdom, he/she must be given to cautious living. These are people who fear the Lord and will not want to disobey Him at all. 

Wisdom hates to come to the proud and arrogance people, that automatically disqualified any one (Proverbs 8:13). True wisdom is of God and having nothing to do with unrighteousness. So, evil people cannot access it. Men of perverse and corrupt mouth cannot receive wisdom. He dwells only with those who fear the Lord (Proverbs 9:10). The moment a man's heart is truly ready in humility to search, the ways of wisdom become accessible and man can enjoy the blessings of wisdom. Peace. 

Prayer:  Lord, help me to be right vessel for your wisdom.

"WHEN THE VESSEL IS READY, WISDOM IS AVAILABLE"

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...
