HOURS OF PRAYER  Acts 3:1-10 Devotional:- “Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour” (V.1) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional HOUSE OF PRAYER Support Us Acts 3:1-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most people only pray or want to pray when they are faced with challenges. But for growing children of God. Prayer is not just making a demand. It is also creating time to be with our father. Much more than our request, God wants us around Him. He wants us always to speak and commune with Him.   Observing the scripture, you will discover prayer has been the habit of all men of God, including Jesus Christ (Luke 6:12). Jesus spent many of his nights praying and the days working. And when He was teaching the disciples, He said, “Pray lest you fall into temptatio...

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 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 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.
