YOUR MIND                  Mark 7:14-23 Devotional:- “There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man” (V.15) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional YOUR MIND Support Us Mark 7:14-23 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com One of the greatest enemies man has is himself. Until you realize this, you may still be far from the truth of victory. The scripture we read today said, “It is the things that come out of a man that defile him. The word defile can be likened to anything that makes him unworthy, not qualify or standing against him. It simply means that what often stands against man is from within him and that is what can defile or corrupt him.   There is a need for you to...

NOT AUTOMATIC

Philippians.1:1-11
DEV—“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT)


    Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10)

Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner.  We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to really get it. It is also slows because we have a lot to unlearn. It’s unrealistic to unlearn all the habits we develop in years within a short time. It is slow because we are afraid to humbly face the truth about ourselves. The fear of our exposure keeps us in the prison of denial. It is slow because growth is often painful and scary. It is slow because takes time to develop. Your character is the sum total of your habits. The only way to develop Christ-like character is to practice them.

To cooperate with God, just believe He is working in your life even when you don’t feel it, keep a note of your lesson (Hebrews 2:1). Be patience with god and yourself, God is using your entire life to prepare you for eternity. So, don’t get discouraged. Peace!

Prayer – Lord, give me grace to be patient with you

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

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.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
