WALKING WITH GOD   Genesis 17:1-8 Devotional:- “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” (v. 1) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional WALKING WITH GOD Support Us Genesis 17:1-8 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Sometimes we become too mindful of the enemy and pay no attention to the covenant of God for our lives. Sometimes our challenges make us lose focus on God. We need to realise that this is the trick of the devil. He only wants to smartly disconnect us from our source. And a river that is disconnected from its source will soon dry up.   Abraham was looking for his own way to make things happen in his life and started losing focus on God by getting another wife to fulfil the promise of God. He was try...

SHOW OFF

SHOW OFF

Matthew 6:5-8.
Devotional:- “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward". (V. 5)

    Most of the events that brings snare to our soul and water us down are product of show off. These are what we do to please people or to demonstrate that we are there.

To show means you are pretending to be what you are not (Proverbs 13:7). Many people have this attitude and this will bring their frustrations. Since the truth will always prevail, the people you are pretending to, will soon see you as you are. This can bring anyone to shame. There is no reason to borrow dress for an occasion. You will not be comfortable when you buy a dress on credit and you have not paid and you are demonstrating with it in the face of the seller.

Jesus teaches us to be humble and be sincere people. Many will vow in the public what they cannot afford and this will bring shame to their life. See, your heart is fragile; don't ever embark on anything that is not true (Proverbs 4:23). In other word, do your search properly before embarking on any venture.  Always be sincere to yourself. If you ridicule yourself before people, you may not find it easy to forgive yourself. Please always be sincere with yourself. Then you will keep your heart from frustration and live in joy. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from show off spirit.

 “Showing off is displaying what you are not to the people who don't need you”

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...
