SOURCE OF WISDOM  Proverbs 2:1-11 “For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (V. 6) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SOURCE OF WISDOM Support Us Proverbs 2:1-11 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com The wisdom of this world is devised by men to fulfil their lust. But true wisdom proceeds from God. If any man needs the true wisdom that can give value to life, God is the source of it. Wisdom of men may bring quick profit but with many sorrows and afflictions. But God’s wisdom brings a man to honour, glory and enduring riches (Prov. 8:18)   All that man needs about God is in His word (The Bible). It is not just available anyhow. That is why you don’t receive them no matter how much you read. They are hidden treasures of God. It takes a man who will seek and search to find...

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.

DOMINION

  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.
