MEEKNESS  Psalm 25: 8-15 Devotional:- The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. ” (V.9) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional MEEKNESS Support Us Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Psalm 25: 8-15 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com One of the attitudes that make people able to see and seize opportunities around them is meekness. Most people cannot see God’s-given opportunities around them because they are proud. But the meek will receive understanding from the Lord (Psalms 119:130). Meekness is the attitude of people who do not over size themselves by deception (Proverbs 13:7). They sincerely accept their place and take the challenges of growth (Psalms 147:6). Such don’t brag about their achievements. Meekness is humility with wisdom. It is acting only on what God instructs...

RAISING GODLY FELLOWSHIP

RAISING GODLY FELLOWSHIP 

Ephesians 4:1-6
Devotional – “Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (v.3)


    It is only the Holy Spirit that can raise true and godly fellowship of believers but He uses the committed members of the body of Christ who make themselves available [Ephesians 4:3]. It is by God’s power this is possible but we must choose to commit ourselves to the work of the kingdom wherever we find ourselves either in the school or in different community on earth.

To raise a genuine and Godly fellowship we must share the truth of the word of God and not of human philosophy [Ephesians 4:15]. To raise true Godly fellowship takes humility, self-importance, and stubborn pride easily destroys fellowship. Humility is the oil that makes relationship smooth [1 Pet 5:5]. To develop humility, admit your weaknesses, be patience with others’ weaknesses, be open to correction and showing others the Bible love [Rom 12:16]. Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less [i.e. to be humble is to think more of others] serving others. 

To raise a godly fellowship takes courtesy i.e. respecting our differences, being considerate of each other’s feeling and patience with people who irritate us [Rom 15:2, Titus 3:2]. To raise a godly fellowship takes confidentiality i.e. we don’t gossip one another’s needs and mistakes. God hates gossip [Proverbs 16:28]. To raise good and godly fellowship takes consistency i.e. regular contact with each other. Godly relationship is not built on convenience but conviction to be one. 

We must learn to encourage and support each other [1 John 3:16]. To raise a godly fellowship we must restore broken relationship [2 Corinthians 5:18, Matt 5:9]. Restoring broken relationship or fellowship is a lot of work. To restore relationships, talk to God before talking to people and sympathize with their feelings. Confess your part of the conflict [Matt 7:5]. Attack the problem and not the person [Proverbs 15:1]. Cooperate and emphasize on reconciliation and not just resolution. Peace! 

 PRAYERS—Lord, make me your vessel for a godly fellowship

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.

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.

WAYS ON WATER Exodus 14:10-22 Devotional:- “So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.” (v. 22) NKJV      The enemy's trick in the lives of so many people today is to make them believe that they have come to their crossroads and that the road has ended. So many always agree with this deceptive thought, which leads to their frustrations. The enemy makes them look at situations around them as evidence of his words. So, many people easily agree with the devil and become victims of his deceit.
