AVOID GAINS OF DISHONESTY  Proverbs 13:4-12 Devotional:- Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, But he who gathers by labor will increase. (V. 11) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional AVOID GAINS OF DISHONESTY Support Us Proverbs 13:4-12 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most people just want increase. Whatever means doesn’t really matter, it is increase that matters to them. So they employ both cheating and stealing and every means to gather. What they call their gain, someone else’s sweat is in it; some of the money is even blood money. But do you know that God cannot be mocked? Whatsoever a man sowed, he shall reap (Gal 6:7). Since the money or the property does not belong to them, God place on them the curse of diminishing returns. And they will never know how or what has happened until they are back ...

NO ARGUMENT

Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 2:14-19
Devotional:- “Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers” (V. 14) NKJV


    Some people take pleasure in winning arguments. So, they look for every avenue to create argument that they can win. Surely, it will not edify anyone, but create friction and tension among people. It will not help anyone out of his/her challenges rather; it will reduce the faith of people and destroy the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon us.

The scripture commands us to stop such. God made some of us to be sanguine, but there should be moderation in how we live before others. God give us this grace or He made us that way to be a mouth for the gospel. He made us to comfort, encourage and edify others (1 Corinthians 14:3). We need to keep it in mind that most grace of God leaked through the mouth (proverbs 10:19). Let us be careful not to jest away the joy and comfort of others.

Friend, winning arguments is not equal to winning in life. The Bible says this could ruin others. The word of God teaches us to bridle our tongues. As honorable vessels, let us be mindful of who we serve. Everything should not come out of our mouth (James 3:1-12). Argument does not lead to victory in life. Rather, let release our mouth for the gospel of peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me victory over the spirit of argument

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   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.
