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...

GREAT REWARD

Daniel 12:1-10
Devotional – Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever (v. 3) NKJV

    Often time people think anytime we are given an instruction from the word of God it must be for the benefit of the Church or the Christian religion. It is important you stop thinking Christianity is a religion. What confuses people are not always lies but half truth. Half truth is still not the truth. The truth is that God is not into religion and Christianity is not a religion. It is a life of relationship with God. God always look out for relationship with man (Genesis 3:8; John 4:23). That is what He made us for. He wants to live with man forever (Revelation 21:3).

In His eternal plan, He desires that every man who will live eternally with Him should be like Him in character, attitude and beauty (Genesis 1:26). When He send us to win souls, He intend that we recognise we are His ambassador to the world (2 Corinthians 5:20). He expect that we do this deliberately. He expect that we live in righteousness to give quality representation to His kingdom before whoever we are meeting. That way we also deliberately walk in righteousness.

This qualify us for His blessing of righteousness here on earth (Psalm 5:12). That is why the Bible says our feet shall be beautified as soul winners (Romans 10:15). This qualifies us for His eternal righteous heaven (Daniel 12:3). The word of God  says those who turn many to righteousness will shine as stars of heaven. 

Friend, these are great rewards waiting for soul winners. Be deliberate about it. Go out daily trusting God to positively influence someone for Christ and His kingdom. Not until you preach the Bible but this is by your Character and your Conversations with people (Colossians 4:6). Our character and conversation speaks volumes about who we are. Surely your reward will come in Jesus name

Prayer: Lord, help me to be deliberate in influencing others for your kingdom

“YOU ARE EITHER AN INFLUENCE POSITIVELY OR BEEN INFLUENCED NEGATIVELY”

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...
