SEEKING THE LORD   Matthew 2:1-11 Devotional:- "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem” (V. 1) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SEEKING THE LORD Support Us Matthew 2:1-11 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com The enemy of man, the devil, always wants to steal the human attention away from God. No man can live a worthy life without God. With all our knowledge and labour, if God does not crown it with his help, all will still be in vain (Psalm 127:1–2). This then brings the need for God in your life. If you want to live without God, your life will be full of sorrow and regrets.   The three wise men in our scripture sought the Lord as soon as they were aware of his birth; they denied themselves, left everything and ...

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

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.
