  JACOB Genesis 31:3-13 Devotional:- "And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted.” (v.10) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional JACOB Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Genesis 31:3-13 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Among those who ruled in the midst of their enemies was Jacob. Right from the time he was in the womb, it’s been said about him that he struggled with his brother (Gen 25:22). So, he started his life battle from the womb.   When he grew up, he lived a life of struggle till he ran from his father’s house to the house of Laban, only to find out that he had run away from his brother to the hand of another enemy. Such is the life of many today who keep running from place ...

JOYFUL HEART

Scripture Reading: Psalms 63:1-11
Devotional:- “My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips” (V. 5)

    It is going to be difficult for a sorrowful heart to praise God (Proverbs 25:20). That is why we must always fellowship with the Holy Spirit so that we can always bear the fruit of joy. The reason why many people in Church and even in the choir do not always praise God is sorrow. It will be challenging to combine sorrow and praises (Psalms 137:1-6). So, we need a joyful heart to be able to praise the Lord.

The word of God says, my soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise you with a joyful heart. To maintain a joyful heart, we must allow the Spirit of God to rule over our heart. It is then we can bear joy as one of the fruits of our lives (Galatians 5:22). We must also take pleasure in the will of God and putting our hope in God. Be patient and be satisfied with God. The Psalmist says, my soul shall be satisfied in God.

Friend, not many things give us joy in this world. We sometimes put ourselves in sorrow when we don’t have corresponding action of faith with our expectations. So therefore, any time the expected result is not coming, we easily get disturbed. But we are the one who did not act in obedience to God. When our hope and expectations become delayed, we become discouraged (Proverbs 13:12). We must be willing to keep a consistent work of faith with the Holy Spirit. Then we can keep a joyful heart to be praiseful. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me unending grace for joy

“A JOYFUL HEART WILL EASILY PRAISE GOD”

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.
