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...

OUR DIFFERENT ABILITIES

OUR DIFFERENT ABILITIES

Matt 25:14-19
Dev “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.” (v. 15)

    Sometimes we get disturbed when we see someone doing better than us in life. We sometime feel God is partial. This is the mentality that made people organize robbery. This is because they feel so, so and so are getting better than them. So they feel they should rather go and take their share. This will always bounce back and result to zero.

It is important we come to know that our level today determines what God allows us to access. There is no one to be blamed than us. If we want more we therefore have to improve our capacity (Luke 16:10-12). The capacity of each and everyone is his/her limitation. The scripture says each one is given according to his own ability.

Friend, one of the vital assignment we have on earth is to increase our capacity. Our capacity is what we can receive and retain. Anything given to a man more than his ability will be wasted. You cannot force 50cl liquid into 35cl container. We increase our capacity and ability by learning and using the knowledge we have leant by wisdom. Move close to people you know that are better than you. Be teachable and learn and you will keep increasing your capacity (Revelation 13:20, Proverbs 24:5)

PRAYER- Lord, help me to be committed to self-development.

“THE BIGGER YOU ARE THE MORE YOU WILL HAVE”

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...
