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...

EMBLEM OF TRUE SONS

Scripture Reading: 1 John 3:4-10
Devotional:- “In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother” (V 10)

    It is important that every believer understand that for someone to have the nature of man, he must born of man. But for anyone to have the nature of God, they must be born of God. So, at salvation, the nature of God is giving to us. But it is the responsibility of each one to effectively keep their garment clean by practicing righteousness (Revelation 16:15).

To practice righteousness is to keep growing the nature of God in us and obeying the word of God. This demands our commitments to daily fellowship with God in studying His word and prayers. By this we will enjoy grace to do whatever God instruct us to do. Without the commitment, so many things will be used by the devil to attempt to dirty our garment of righteousness (John 15:4-7). Practicing righteousness is life of obedience to God (Matthew 7:21-23).

Friend, the word of God says “those who do not practice righteousness are not children of God”. This makes the issue of righteousness to be fundamental to all children of God. It exempts you from the evil agenda of the devil (Proverbs 11:8). It qualifies you for the blessings of the Lord because you align yourself with Him (Psalm 5:12). It makes you different and peculiar in this world of wickedness. Practicing righteousness is living in submission to obey the word of God. Only the righteous are truly children of God (Matthew 7:20-23). Peace

PRAYER: Lord, make me a continuous practitioner of your righteousness.

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...
