(V. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional PITY THE POOR Support Us Proverbs 19:15-20 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most people on earth have never risen from the poor level of life to a greater level, but no sooner man get engrafted into a level higher than the poor, he forgets his past and never remembers the poor. Many even make the mistake of postponing when they shall remember the poor until they get very rich. They have forgotten that God is the giver of all riches, and his purpose in giving us is to help others. God is simply looking for someone who can be a channel of blessing to the poor.

LONG SUFFERING

LONG SUFFERING

Ephesians 4:1-6
Devotional:- "with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love". (V. 2)

    As the world is deteriorating in value the virtue of long suffering is fast escaping. The way God designs love, you cannot truly love without long suffering. True love cannot be temporary. True love cannot be only when it is well. True love cannot be existing sometimes and stop at another time. True love is actually known in the time of trouble (Romans 5:6).

Love is not made for when it is sweet alone. True love stays when it is dark. True love does not back out. God's word instructs us to bear with one another with long suffering. That is why long suffering is part of the lifestyle of God because God is love (Exodus 34:6; Ephesians 4:2)

For anyone to exercise long suffering, he/she must understand that loving is a lifetime venture and it does not expire. We also need to know that love is with hope, this is hoping that all shall turn for good (Romans 8:28). To love with long suffering demands that we live a sacrificial life and willing to stay to see the good end (Habakkuk 2:3). Human view or human comments cannot be considered in long suffering. This is because there is no room for selfish motive in true love (1 John 4:18). Make up your mind to live in love and your life and relationship will be peaceful.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live a selfless life to be able to love.

“Only those who can endure can enjoy in love”

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.

DOMINION

  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.
