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...

BECOMING INTELLIGENT

Isaiah 11:1-5
Devotional:- “The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord” (v. 2) NKJV

    The world today like ever is in need of men and women of solution like Joseph and Daniel. Industrial revolution in the western world is a product of the demonstration of intelligence by the spirit. To be intelligent is to be able to think through to brilliant solution (1 Corinthians 2:11) It is the ability to acquire applicable knowledge. It is to have understanding of a matter.

Men like Joseph, Solomon and Daniel by the help of the Holy Spirit and their gifts were able to interpret dreams (Genesis 41:26-36). They were able to discern solution to complex situations (1 Kings 3:16-28). They were able to tell the king his forgotten dream and interpreted it (Daniel 2:14-48). They were highly needed to be part of government in the land of slavery. Joseph reign in Egypt as the Prime minister by the Spirit of the Lord (Genesis 41:38). Daniel ruled in Babylon for several years (Daniel 5:11-12). He and his friends became ten times better than all by the Holy Spirit (Daniel 1:20-21)

Friend, the same Holy Spirit is in you. All you need to do is to create quality relationship with the Holy Spirit for intelligent thoughts. Build your mind up to be intelligent by studying books of intelligent men (Daniel 2:17-19; Acts 6:3). Regularly consult the Holy Spirit in you for light and solutions (Proverbs 3:5-6). You will soon be recommended to rule. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, promote me by your Spirit to be intelligent

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 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...
