  MAKING MOVES  Joshua 3: 7-17 Devotional:- “And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap" (v.13) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional MAKING MOVES Support Us Joshua 3: 7-17 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com When a man is passing through times of challenges, one of the goals of the enemy is to cripple his ability to launch out for something great. Sometimes the devil ministers to such people to begin to pile up files of defeat, and when it is full, he uses the same to confuse and frustrate them.

WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT

WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT

Isaiah 8:11-18
Dev. “And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him” (V.17)


    God is real no matter how anyone feels. Since we are made to worship God whether it is going well or not we must always give all the glory to Him. It is easy to worship God when things are going well, but situations are not always pleasant. That is why we must learn to always give God glory in all situations. The richest of worship is during pains or trails. We must learn to trust God, surrender and love God when we don’t feel his presence.

In our scripture today the man of God said ‘’I will trust and place my trust in Him even when God is hidden‘’. True friendship is often tested by distance and inability to communicate. It takes close time and distant time to grow relationship. That is why to mature your relationship with God He will test you with period of seeming separation, feeling abandoned or forgotten. In such times we easily feel we must have offended God but there is nothing really wrong with you. It is just a time of test and maturing your relationship with God [Psalm 43:2, Job 23:8-10]. God wants to test whether you will continue to love, trust, obey and worship Him. That is why when you don’t have the feeling of his presence, just worship Him. It is wrong to be seeking for feelings or experience in worship but God.

When you are a new Christian God gives you emotional feelings of his presence and instant answers to prayers but not always so as you grow. So in such times learn to ‘’tell God exactly how you feel ‘’ [Job 29:4]. Focus on who God is i.e. “His unchanging nature” Trust God to keep His promises [Job 23:12]. “Remember all He has done for you” [Psalm 103:2, 2 Corinthians 5:21]. Jesus gave up everything so that you can have it all. Worship Him. 

PRAYER—Lord, help me to love and worship you notwithstanding.

‘’FRIENDSHIP BASED ON EMOTIONS IS SHALLOW’’

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...
