  INSIST ON EXCELLENCE   Genesis 39:1-6 Devotional:- “So Joseph found favour in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.” (v. 4) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional INSIST ON EXCELLENCE Support Us Genesis 39:1-6 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Until a man puts excellence into anything he is doing, he will not excel. Many people often allow their situation to determine their lifestyle. This is because they do not know that the period of trials for a Christian is a period of test. And if you allow the situation to determine your approach to your work, that may fail.   Though, Joseph was a slave in the house of Potiphar, yet, it did not take much time for him to become an overseer in the house. The reason is that he insiste...

CULTIVATING LOVE

CULTIVATING LOVE

1 Timothy 4:12-16
Devotional:- "Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all". (V. 15)

    Children of God need to know that attending church services or serving as a worker in the church alone does not make a Christian. True Christians are not Christians just because they go to church. True Christians are identified by the fruits they bear (Matthew 7:21-23). Love is one of the fruits of the spirit. It is important we know that trees don't just bear fruits, they have to cultivate them

That is why fruits of the spirit or attitude of the word of God that you don't cultivate may not naturally be manifesting in you. So we have to be deliberate in cultivate the fruits of love. To cultivate a fruit of character is by labouring in the word of God. We have to study the word of God about love until it form part of our thinking. God’s word is to be meditated on day and night (Joshua 1:8). We should give ourselves wholly to thinking the way of the love of Christ.

Whatever you keep meditating on, you will keep acting on. It is what you are driving into your heart through meditation that you will keep acting out. If you cannot meditate continually over anything, it cannot be part of your character (Romans 12:2 NLT). This way the love of Christ will be spread abroad in your heart by the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). Then you can keep demonstrating God's kind of love. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, let your love be planted in my heart

“If you cannot stop the thoughts, you cannot stop the acts”

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.

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...
