AVOID GAINS OF DISHONESTY  Proverbs 13:4-12 Devotional:- Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, But he who gathers by labor will increase. (V. 11) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional AVOID GAINS OF DISHONESTY Support Us Proverbs 13:4-12 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most people just want increase. Whatever means doesn’t really matter, it is increase that matters to them. So they employ both cheating and stealing and every means to gather. What they call their gain, someone else’s sweat is in it; some of the money is even blood money. But do you know that God cannot be mocked? Whatsoever a man sowed, he shall reap (Gal 6:7). Since the money or the property does not belong to them, God place on them the curse of diminishing returns. And they will never know how or what has happened until they are back ...

ASKING AMISS

ASKING AMISS

SCRIPTURE: JAMES 4:1-6
DEVOTIONAL:- “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures” (Vs. 3).

    One of the reasons some believers ask and not receive is that they ask amiss. To ask amiss is to ask with a wrong or negative motive. Our intention cannot be hidden from the Lord. Though, we are human, God remains God. The flesh in us sometimes want to have worldly pleasures and it is not wrong. It is only wrong when it is contrary to the purpose of God because it becomes a sin afterwards.

Pleasure mentality makes a man irresponsible. Most of the sinful acts in our community today are perpetrated in the quest for pleasure. This is the reason why some people engage in extra marital affairs. The truth is that, as children of God, we are created for His pleasure as well as the things of the kingdom (Rev. 4:11).

Friend, always x-ray your motives before you ask God for anything in prayer, so that your prayers will not be hindered. Whatever you are asking for, whether in your life, family, work, church, etc. the motive should be to use it for the glory of God. Everything you do should be done to bring glory to God (1 Cor. 10:31). As you do that, your prayers will always be answered. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, help me to always have the right heart before you

“THE BEAUTY OF PRAYER IS THE ANSWER”.

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   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.
