  DECIDE TO SUCCEED 1 Chronicles 4:1-10 Devotional:- “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested” (v. 10) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DECIDE TO SUCCEED Support Us 1 Chronicles 4:1-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com The decisions of a man will determine what he will eventually become in life. No one decides to fail and then suddenly succeed. People succeed because they choose and decide to succeed. In the scriptures we read today, there was a break in history as generations of people are mentioned. Why this break? This is because a man’s decision changes his status. There was no such pause on many ot...

SENSE OF REJECTION

SENSE OF REJECTION 

2 Samuel 10:1-11
Devotional:- “When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."” (V. 5)


    There are some factors we have to be very careful about. This is because they are capable of discouraging us. To be discouraged is to be punctured or deflated of courage. To be encouraged is to put on or take up courage. It will therefore be wise to avoid whatever deflates our courage in life, so that we are not hindered of achieving the plan of God for our lives.
One of such courage deflating factor is sense of rejection. The servants of David were humiliated by the people of Ammon. They went for peace mission but they were confronted with rejection. They were so ashamed and discouraged.

Friend, be careful of the rejection mentality. This is simply a mentality of low self-esteem. If people reject you, quickly remind yourself that you belong to a family and a people who accepts you. Don't let this discourage and break you down totally in life. Were you rejected in a relationship proposal; traveling visa; business or career proposal? It is because it is not the perfect will of God for you. Refuse to remain in such depression. Encourage yourself, move on till you find the people that will celebrate you. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to arise till I find my own place

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...
