  DANIEL Daniel 6:10-28 Devotional:- “And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions-them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.” (v. 24) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DANIEL Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Daniel 6:10-28 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com In the school of the victors, Daniel’s case is peculiar. He was a victim of jealousy and envy. Just as God lifted up His children every where, God granted him excelling wisdom and favour in the land of slavery. Though he was a slave, the favour of God brought him to the top. This he attained by using the gift and the grace of God in his life. God lifted him up to be among the presidents of the p...

SELF DENIAL

Scripture: Matthew 16:24-28

Devotional:- "Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me" (v.24) NKJV

    An important factor in the process of becoming like Jesus is that you must deny yourself to be able to follow Him. Self is the major hindrance to our work with God. By self, I mean the flesh, this is the human nature in us. This human nature has been cultured into sinful and selfish life. The flesh does not want to please God (Romans 8:5-8). So those who are ruled by the desires of their flesh cannot please God.

If anyone want to be a disciple of Jesus, he/she must deny the flesh to satisfy God. Our body is made to help us relate with the physical world, but we must put it under control so that it does not send us to hell.

Every attempt you made to please God, your human nature will not support it. So you deny it by not allowing it but yielding to the Holy Spirit and the word of God. It is then you can begin to grow into the likeness of Christ. Your ability to say No to the flesh and Yes to God is a good step towards maturity. Then His beauty shall be seen on you. Peace

Prayer - Lord, give me the enablement to yield to you always.

“Every man is either yielding to God or flesh”

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.

COURAGE

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.
