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...

NOT HOW MUCH 

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6:6-11
Devotional:- “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise” (V. 6) NKJV


    A major reason people end up being poor in their life is because they create a standard for themselves based on their level of salary or income today. Some people earns #200,000:00 monthly, using four cars even in a rented or official apartment. Many people are looking big because there is a big income. Most of such people always end up frustrated and disappointed in poverty.
A man's level of riches is not determined by the earning of his labour. Don’t forget that the wages of labor is payment for a part of your time and energy on the earth expended to help somebody. Some people are ready to kill for rituals to be in politics. Thinking of the volume today is equal to volume forever. What makes a man rich is the volume of interest on his investment. If the volume of interest is not able to sustain your status today, it is still poverty.

Friend, wake up. You need to know that the level of energy today that gives you the job for the salary will not continue to be there. As you grow, your company will soon do away with you, even if you are a member of the board. Your level of productivity, spiritually, mentally or physically cannot be the same for ever. Be wise to learn from the ant (Proverbs 6:6). Your real labor should be to invest more in viable investment (Ecclesiastes 11:1-4). Please give quality attention to investment so much that your interest or dividends will be equal to your current salary forever. Be wise. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to wake up and be wise.

“YOU HAVE A FAKE STATUS TODAY IF YOUR INTEREST CANNOT MEASURE UP TO IT”

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...
