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...

BLESS THE LORD

Psalms 103:1-10
Devotional:- "Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits". (V. 2)

    Every day of our life, God expects us to always be grateful to Him. This doesn’t mean that we don't have challenges, but because He is in control of all situation of our life. (Daniel 4:25b). All things cannot but result to His glory in your life at last (Romans 8:28).

Sometimes on such day like today, the enemy may not want some people to appreciate God for all He has done for them. This is because the enemy makes us to easily forget the things God has done for us and make us see more of what He has not done. So, most people sometimes ask: what has He done for me? But it will actually be wonderful to be wise like David. He said, “Forget not all His benefit” (Psalm 103:2).

You need to look back into the year and remember how He has preserved you and your family from all evil. How He has not allowed sickness to destroy you and your family. You need to remember how He has satisfied you with good food this year, how he delivered you from debt, how He did not allow the enemy to laugh at you. He has not allowed the wicked one to succeed over you. He preserved your sleeping and waking up in peace and put the devil to shame at last. He preserves your going out and coming in. Please take time to bless the Lord over your spouse, children and all around you. Then, you are set for a more fruitful New Year in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for all the good things you've done for me

“IT IS ONLY A GREAT FOOL THAT WILL NOT BE GRATEFUL"

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

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...
