YOUR MIND                  Mark 7:14-23 Devotional:- “There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man” (V.15) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional YOUR MIND Support Us Mark 7:14-23 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com One of the greatest enemies man has is himself. Until you realize this, you may still be far from the truth of victory. The scripture we read today said, “It is the things that come out of a man that defile him. The word defile can be likened to anything that makes him unworthy, not qualify or standing against him. It simply means that what often stands against man is from within him and that is what can defile or corrupt him.   There is a need for you to...

PEOPLE PLEASING

PEOPLE PLEASING

Matthew 14:1-12
Devotional:- "And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her". (V. 9)

    Those who live their lives pleasing people will end up in self-destruction. To please men is to try to satisfy people at the expense of your life. It is greatly killing. In most cases when we have pleased people and they are gone, we may keep cleaning the mess for months.

This man we read about today wanted to please people and he instructed the killing of the man of God. But he wound his own heart and remained a problem for him. That is why the memory keep witch hunting him (Matthew 14:1-2). Even the people he was trying to please that day knew he was entering into a big problem.

Friend, don’t join foolish people in this game of self-deception. It will have no good end.  Always be open and be sincere to people. That does not reduce you but releases you. Don’t try to please people and displease God who is your help. A true believer will always choose to please God than people (Act 4:19-20). You will enjoy the help of God and your heart will remain in peace.

Prayer: Lord, give me the spirit of self-sincerity

“Pleasing people is using what you don't have to satisfy those who hate you”.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
