  LIVING  Psalm 30:1-12 Devotional:- “What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?” (V.9) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional LIVING Support Us Psalm 30:1-12 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Until a man appreciates his life, things may not appreciate in his hand. Until we start to see our life as our opportunity, we will not be able to maximise it for God’s glory. Most people today do not see anything important about their life. They see living as an unfortunate event. They believe that since they were not there to choose their coming into life, and so blame their creator for creating them. As we read in the word of God today, David saw the importance of his life. He then used it to challenge God to help him.         ...

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.

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

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.
