TAKE RESPONSIBILITY  Luke 14:28-33  Devotional:- “For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?” (V. 28) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional TAKE RESPONSIBILITY Support Us Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Luke 14:28-33 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com In the school of greatness, no one will be able to access it in life until he learns to take responsibility. All of us are always with one opportunity or the other, even right now. But your ability to advance from where you are to where you are supposed to be, depends solely on how much you can take responsibility to grow into maximising your current opportunities.

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”.

  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.

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.

WAYS ON WATER Exodus 14:10-22 Devotional:- “So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.” (v. 22) NKJV      The enemy's trick in the lives of so many people today is to make them believe that they have come to their crossroads and that the road has ended. So many always agree with this deceptive thought, which leads to their frustrations. The enemy makes them look at situations around them as evidence of his words. So, many people easily agree with the devil and become victims of his deceit.
