  DECIDE TO SUCCEED 1 Chronicles 4:1-10 Devotional:- “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested” (v. 10) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DECIDE TO SUCCEED Support Us 1 Chronicles 4:1-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com The decisions of a man will determine what he will eventually become in life. No one decides to fail and then suddenly succeed. People succeed because they choose and decide to succeed. In the scriptures we read today, there was a break in history as generations of people are mentioned. Why this break? This is because a man’s decision changes his status. There was no such pause on many ot...

CARING

CARING

1 Peter 5:5-11
Devotional:-"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you". (V. 7)

    To love is to care. To care is not cheap. It is actually costly. Whatever it costs to to care is the prize of love. To care for someone is to be concerned about his/her life. Everyone have enough matter to concentrate on in their lives. But when you can go out of your way to care and show concern for others, that is love. It is when we can go out of our personal challenges and care for others that we are mature.

All through the ages we see how much God cares for us.  Right from the Garden of Eden to when He gave us Jesus (Genesis 3:21; 1 John 4:9). As sinful as man can be, yet, God has not abandoned us. Many times He will discipline the nation Israel for their wrong doings. And He will still go after them to comfort them (Isaiah 40:1).

This is truly a love lesson for us. We should care for people around us. This begins from our relationship to our spouses, children and parents. No one brings it from heaven. We all have to learn the act of caring for the body of Christ and for each other. Care starts from greetings, to concern about the affairs of others. Praying for each other and helping one another at our different levels. The self, the flesh or the human nature wants to care for himself alone. Let me satisfy my self first whatever may be happening to others is the language of carnality. We are truly mature when we are willing to care for others. You can never finish meeting your personal need. That is why the economist says human wants are unlimited. Don’t walk alone in life. You may not be able to go too far. Care for others as much as this does no harm to you. Always to remember to do this from a genuine heart and you will be like your fathering heaven. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a caring heart.

“A caring spirit is the Spirit of God”

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.

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...
