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...

COMPLETE TRUST

Scripture Reading: Psalms 40:1-8
Devotional:- “He has put a new song in my mouth — Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord” (V. 3)

    Our act of total trust in God is an act of honour and worship to Him. When children trust their parents, the parents are pleased. So, also is God. Today, many feel it’s a waste of time to trust God. Many mocks when you say you are trusting God. This is because they don’t know what it means to trust God. It is not an irresponsible statement, neither an idle statement.

The word of God says God take pleasure in those who trust in Him (Psalms 147:11).  The word says, in God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust. Trusting God is an act of praises to God (Psalms 56:4). To trust God completely mean you put your hope and faith in Him. The word of God says concerning Abraham that he hoped in God even when there is no reason to hope (Romans 4:18-22). The word of God says this pleases God and was counted to him for righteousness.

Friend, you need to observe the areas of your life where you need to trust God. You must be willing to put your hope in Him. This pleases the Lord just like an hundred songs of praises. This is living by seeing God capable of performing His words in our lives. Trust in God is trust in His words to act on his instructions. This is the responsibility of trust and faith. You will not fail in Jesus name (Psalms 125: 1-5). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always trust on you

“TRUST IN GOD IS BETTING YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”

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...
