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...

YOUR ABILITIES

Exodus 31:1-11
Dev:- “And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,” (v. 3) NKJV

    God has invested in each one on earth some special abilities. What you are design to do, no one can do exactly like you. That is why if you don’t make your unique contribution to the body of Christ, no one will. God will at the end raise others. Your unique abilities are your natural inborn talents (Exodus 31:3-5). All our abilities comes from God at birth (Romans 12:6). 

Some studies have proved that an average person possesses from 300 to 700 different skills and abilities. Your brain can store 100 trillion facts, your mind can handle 15,000 decisions a second. You nose can smell up to 10,000 different odors. You are a bundle of incredible abilities, an amazing creature of God. You need to know that every abilities can be used to serve the Lord and bring glory to Him (1 Corinthians 10:31). God has a place in the church and in the world where your abilities can make a difference. You are the one to find out.

To discover your special abilities you must examine where you are very good. Your abilities were not given just to make a living, they are equally for your ministry (1 Peter 4:10). God doesn’t waste abilities, He matches them with our callings and capabilities. Whatever you are good at doing God expect you to use it to serve Him in the Church and in your place of work. 

Friend, don’t face eternity without using you talents or special abilities for God, it will be eternity without any reward. The Lord will help you. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me not to miss my opportunity to serve in your house

“IT’S YOUR SERVICES THAT WILL DETERMINE YOUR REWADS WITH GOD”

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 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...
