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...

HE TEACHES

HE TEACHES

John 14:25-31
Devotional:- “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (V. 26)

    Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to teach us all things. This is not limited to Bible but all things that are edifying for our journey on earth. This is possible because He knows all things (1 Corinthians 2:10, 13). This is possible because it is the spirit that can truly educate our mind to light of understanding (Job 32:8).

Whatever anyone teaches you, either in school or anywhere, you cannot understand till there is an inspiration by the Spirit to illuminate your heart. That is why, it is not all that we read or heard that we do, though they will make us better in life. Your brain can only be brought to realm of better light by the kind of spirit that is in you (1 Corinthians 2:9-13; Daniel 2:27-28). That is why people without the Holy Spirit are said to work in darkness (Isaiah 60:2).

When a teaching is not spiritually thought, understanding it will not be possible. That is, very many things that we are thought may not be understood (Job 32:8; John 6:63). And when our mind cannot handle something, we just throw it away. That is why we learn valuable things and not do anything about it. The Holy Spirit is a great teacher. He will show you in clear terms (John 6:63) Information will become meaningful and more useful to you when the Holy Spirit teaches (John 16:12). And life will be more progressive. Peace

PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to pay attention to you for my understanding in all things

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...
