DEFINE PLEASURE  Proverbs 21:12-21 Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.” (v. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DEFINE PLEASURE Support Us Proverbs 21:12-21 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but there is a need to define what it means in a way that it will not bring destruction to you. Pleasure to most people means idleness, sleeping, jesting, watching T.V and all sorts of films, extravagant spending at beer parlous and hotels, eating in all the city kitchens and to some it is just travelling all around. The truth is that none of those things are real pleasure. If those things are what you call pleasures, then, no matter how much you have now, poverty and sorrow are on the way. Real pleasure is not that which man creat...

METICULOUS

Scripture Reading: John 6:5-14
Devotional:- “So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost." (V. 12) NKJV


    The act of being meticulous is a singular act that will always differentiate between the rich and the poor. This is one of the important attitude of life to become master over money. To be meticulous is to take extreme care in treatment of details i.e. little, little money. These are details of your capital, net, gross income and your savings. There is a very strong need to be meticulous because big money is gathered gradually and can be destroyed gradually (Isaiah 28:10). That is why those who love pleasure will be poor (Proverbs 21:16-17).

Jesus, having fed five thousand, He is still meticulous enough that they should gather the remnants. Do you know that a little here and a little there, they gather another twelve baskets full of bread? That is enough to feed the disciples and their family for two or three weeks.

Friend, there is no one created to be poor but we waste too many things with wrong financial attitude. If you sit down to calculate how much you spend in a month or in a year, you will be shocked that it will run to millions. Your spendings on call cards, transportation, soft drinks, gifts, shopping, funtime etc are in million every year. Someone else will sit down, do the calculations and cut each of them for savings. That way, you will be shocked of what you are saving. It's time to wake up. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be disciplined to care for little, of money

“GOD GIVE EVERYONE, BUT ONLY THE METICULOUS CAN BE RICH”

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...
