  GIVE NO ROOM Ephesians 4:25-32 Devotional:- “Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the Devil, an opportunity to manipulate you” (v.27) TPT 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional GIVE NO ROOM Support Us Ephesians 4:25-32 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com   Every Christians need to know that it is completely dangerous and delicate to give room to the devil in our lives. By giving room, I mean allowing him or giving him the opportunity to establish himself in our lives. I have seen Christians playing with what they should not play with. Sometimes we are not mindful that if we give the devil one mile in our lives, he will want to go ten.   When they start to feel some pain, they just become careless about it instead of rebuking the sickness. Some will even be coughing, and they will not resist it. They believe that ...

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

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

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...
