IT IS BY FORCE  Matthew 11:2-14 Devotional:- “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (v. 12) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional IT IS BY FORCE Support Us Matthew 11:2-14 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Children of God need to wake up to the fact that the kingdom of God is forceful. And any one that operate in it must also be forceful. Victory and success in the kingdom of God do not answer to the weak and the fearful. It is for bold and confident people. That is why God told Joshua to be bold and be courageous for him to be able to fulfill his destiny (Joshua 1:6-9).   The scripture we read today says, the kingdom is forceful and forceful men lay hold of it. This is simply an expression of the language of faith that...

THE HEART OF WORSHIP

THE HEART OF WORSHIP

Romans 6:1-14
Devotional: “And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (V. 13)


    Since worship is our first purpose on earth we need to know that worship will not be worship if we don’t surrender to God. So, surrendering is the heart of worship. In our world today, surrender sound negative. It could mean to give up or losing or admit your defeat. But it is giving ourselves to God not out of fear or necessity but in love [1 John 4:9-19]. Three things often attempt to block our mind from total surrendering to God, fear, pride and confusion.

As kingdom citizen, please know it that you must learn to trust God. A woman will not be able to surrender to her husband if she does not trust him and so also you to God. To truly surrender to God, you must admit your weaknesses and limitations. That is when you truly want to ask Him to help you. Someone said, the reason many are still struggling with life is because they have not come to the end of themselves. To surrender to God does not mean to be passive or an excuse for laziness but it is sacrificing your life or been ready to suffer through the process to bring a change to your life.

Friend, surrendering is best demonstrated in an obedience and trust. A child of God who has surrendered to God, such will not be reacting to criticism or rush to defend himself [Mark 14:36]. When people truly surrender to God, they experience peace and freedom [Luke 1:38]. If you don’t surrender to God, you still surrender to either people’s opinion, fear, money, pride or resentment. Sometimes, it could take years for you to discover that you are victim of your own pride. Note that your decision to surrender to God will always be tested. So, make up your mind to totally surrender to God. Then you will really start to live. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, I need your grace to totally surrender to 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.
