WALKING WITH GOD   Genesis 17:1-8 Devotional:- “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” (v. 1) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional WALKING WITH GOD Support Us Genesis 17:1-8 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Sometimes we become too mindful of the enemy and pay no attention to the covenant of God for our lives. Sometimes our challenges make us lose focus on God. We need to realise that this is the trick of the devil. He only wants to smartly disconnect us from our source. And a river that is disconnected from its source will soon dry up.   Abraham was looking for his own way to make things happen in his life and started losing focus on God by getting another wife to fulfil the promise of God. He was try...

SPIRITUAL GIFTS

1 Corinthians 12:1-12
Devotional:- “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit” (v. 4)

    As stewards of God, the gifts of the spirit has been invested into our lives when we are baptism in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). It is not given to us by merit that is why it is called gifts (Ephesians 4:7). It is the Holy Spirit that determine what each person should be given (1 Corinthians 12:11). Because God loves varieties and want each one to be special, no single gift is given to everyone and no one have all the gifts so that we can need each other. The gifts are given to each of us for the benefit of others (1 Corinthians 12:7).

The operation of spiritual gifts can be divided to three parts. The first is the Revelational gifts which includes; Word of wisdom (it reveals the divine purpose of God - Genesis 6:13-18, Acts 11:28), Word of knowledge (it reveals the facts in the mind of God - Acts 9:10-12); Discerning of spirits (it helps us to identify the spirit at work wherever we are - Luke. 13:11-13). 

The second are Power gifts which includes: Gift of Faith (This enables us to supernaturally have assurance and confidence in the power of God in any situation - Mark 4:37-39; John 11:41-44); Working of Miracles (it enables us to carry out acts contrary to natural laws - John 2:1-8; Luke 9:16-17); Gifts of Healing (Mark 1:29-31, Mark. 3:3-5). 

The third are the Utterance Gifts: Gift of Prophecy (I Corinthians 14:1-5, 22-25, 39-40), Diverse Kinds of Tongues (Acts 2:4, Acts 10:46). Interpretation of Tongues (Daniel 5:25-28, 1 Corinthians 14:13, 26-28). The word of God instruct us to activate these gifts and this is by prayer and fasting, effective service, laying on of Hands, faith and worship (2 Timothy 1:6-7). Use these gifts as faithful stewards of Jesus. Peace

Prayer: Lord, help me to be a blessing to others with your gifts

“GOD MADE YOU TO BE A BLESSING WITH HIS GIFTS”

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).

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...
