  DEPART FROM EVIL  Psalm 73:12-24 “ Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end ” (V. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DEPART FROM EVIL Support Us Psalm 73:12-24 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com   There is nothing good in the devil, and everything evil is of him. Everything that has to do with sin and wickedness is evil. In very many cases, the devil’s ways seem so quickly rewarding, using this to deceive many. Hello, to everything the devil will give to any man, he will take it back sevenfold. If you see a wicked man prospering by his wickedness, give him a little time; the devil will revisit him, and you will soon pity him. One terrible thing about evil deeds is that a man may be prospering in it, but when the reward comes, his family will be destroyed along with him.   Fr...

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

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.
