DEFINE PLEASURE  Proverbs 21:12-21 Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.” (v. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DEFINE PLEASURE Support Us Proverbs 21:12-21 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but there is a need to define what it means in a way that it will not bring destruction to you. Pleasure to most people means idleness, sleeping, jesting, watching T.V and all sorts of films, extravagant spending at beer parlous and hotels, eating in all the city kitchens and to some it is just travelling all around. The truth is that none of those things are real pleasure. If those things are what you call pleasures, then, no matter how much you have now, poverty and sorrow are on the way. Real pleasure is not that which man creat...

THINKING OTHERS

Psalms 8:1-9
Devotional:- "What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?." (V.4)

    What you keep thinking in your mind eventually becomes the determinant of the direction of your life. In other words, your dominant thought will always dominate your actions. If you don't put something at heart you can always forget to respond to such. When you learn to think well and the wellbeing of others, that is love.

Humanity has enjoyed so much of the love of God. All through the Bible, we see the love of God demonstrated towards man in all dimension. The king through the scriptures, I discover that the plan of God is to live eternally with men (Revelation 21:1-3). This intention is possible because God put man in His heart and He is always thinking about man.

Friend, it is important you learn to put the matter of people you purpose to love at heart. Think about house of the Lord if you love God (1 Chronicles 17:1). Do you love your family? Then create time to think about them. The same goes for the members of your church family. Don’t just go on thinking just about yourself alone. Consciously create time to do this. And you will be like your father in heaven. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to have space for you and my loved ones in my heart

“Thinking of others makes you a blessing”

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...
