REFRAIN YOUR LIPS Proverbs 10:14-21 Devotional:- “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise” (v.19) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional REFRAIN YOUR LIPS Support Us Proverbs 10:14-21 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Do you know that your words are an expression of your heart? They can be used as a picture of yourself. You will notice that a lot of the time you have the privilege of conversing with people, something just keeps pushing you to continue talking until you overdo it. Then you’ll begin to say what you don't mean to say. Many a time, the volume of words that come out of our mouths is not what we have planned for or decided, but because we have not learned to caution our lips, which is an act of discipline. Such excessive words can later become instruments of tempt...

SELF-CONTROL

SELF-CONTROL         

1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Devotional: “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified” V 27


    One of the strong fruits the Spirit every child of God should seek to bear is Self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). The word of God says, a life without the attitude of self-control is like a city without wall (Proverbs 25:28). This means, such person is exposed to all kind of danger. Gentleness and Self-control are virtues that always operate together. To be self-controlled is to learn to put self under check in any situation.

In our Scripture today, Apostle Paul show us the act of Self Control. This is by not allowing today’s achievements to hinder that of tomorrow. This is by putting the body under subjection and not allow the human nature to hinder our discipline attitude. 

Self-control makes you put yourself in order before others start to correct you. Learn to put your mind in subjection to wisdom. Our human nature doesn’t always want to do what is right but we must train it to do the right thing in Christ Jesus. You must not let your human nature control you but train it to do the will of God. This is possible only by your choice to live a self-controlled live. Not letting your situation or nature drives you into sin but discipline it with meditation and choosing to obey the word of God. So, you will be a unique Christian all the days of your life. Peace

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always put my life under the control of the Holy Spirit

“THE SPIRIT THAT CONTROLS YOUR LIFE IS YOUR MASTER”

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.

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.
