SPEAK    Acts 18:1-11 Devotional:- “ Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, 'Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent ” (V. 9) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional SPEAK Support Us Acts 18:1-11 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com One of the major ways to make known the potential in us is by speaking. If you don’t speak, no one will know what you are up to or what you can offer. Jesus said It is from the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34). It is therefore important for you to know that when you are opportune to speak either to someone or a multitude, God has given you a privilege to express what is inside you. In the scripture we read today, the Lord said to Paul the apostle that he needed to keep speaking in that town to fulfil his purpose there. Speaking what?...

SURRENDER TO GOD

SURRENDER TO GOD

Scripture: Romans 6:1-14

Devotional:- And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God (v. 13) NKJV

     The word surrender look too foolish to the language in the world of winning, succeeding, don't give up or overcoming. But we can only be disciples of Jesus and be like Jesus when we surrender to Him (Romans 12:1). We don't surrender to God with a sense of fear or duty but love. (1 John4:9-10,19). We often don't surrender to God because we don't realize how much God loves us. So we always want to control our own life. For us to be able to surrender to God, we must be able to trust Him, then we can trust our life into His loving hands. We must also admit our limitations and weaknesses, then we can trust in His help.

Surrendering does not mean giving up rational thinking but it is demonstrated in obedience to God no matter what. It means to trust Him to be faithful to His promises. It means waiting patiently for Him (Psalm 37:7). It means not rushing to defend yourself or react to criticism. Everyone eventually surrender to something. No matter what, your life is controlled by something. That is why you should determine who controls your life by submitting to Jesus. People’s lives are controlled by opinion of others or expectations, money, fear, pride, inferiority complex, lust, or ego. But a true disciple of Christ will surrender to God in all things. That is when we can be like Him. Peace

Prayer- Lord, help me to totally surrender to you in all things.

“He who does not surrender to God has to surrender to an idol”.

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.

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.
