PLEASING THE LORD     Proverbs 16:4-8 Devotional:- “When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” (V. 7) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional PLEASING THE LORD Support Us Proverbs 16:4-8 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com It is commonly said that he that goes about trying to please everybody will end up not pleasing any. While you are trying to please people, you end up offending them. So you think you are doing them good, but they think you are doing them evil. This is because different people have different ways of looking at things. You have therefore resorted to doing your best and leaving the rest. But do you know that in the course of doing your best you create an enemy for yourself? And they now begin to stand against you. The best way to thc approach the af...

SANCTIFICATION

 SANCTIFICATION 

Scripture Reading: John 17:13-19
Devotional:- “And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth” (V. 19

    To be sanctified is to be set apart as holy unto the Lord. If any child of God shall remain in the righteousness of Christ, he must be sanctified unto the Lord. This is an act of seeing self as separated and different from the commons to the Lord (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

To be sanctified is not to start to live an isolated life but to see ourselves different from the worldly (John 15:19; John 17:15-16). We are different because the Spirit in us is different to the one in the world (1 John 3:8-9; Romans 8:9). So, we are able by the help of the Holy Spirit to bear the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

To be sanctified is possible when a child of God is studying and meditating on the word of God regularly (Psalm119:9). It is as we purge our mind by the word of God (Ephesians 5:26) and our mind stored the word that our thought and talk become different by the word of God (John 17:17-19). If anyone call him/herself a child of God and does not study the word of God, he cannot have the behaviour of God. He will compromise at the face of persecution. Only those who are sanctified unto God are children of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be sanctified unto you.

“IT IS SANCTIFICATION THAT HELPS TO MAINTAIN THE CLOTH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”

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.

  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.
