  KINGDOM FIRST Matthew 6:25-34 Devotional:- “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (v.33) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional KINGDOM FIRST Support Us Matthew 6:25-34 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com   To reign in this wicked world, believers must understand the mystery of living a ‘kingdom first’ life. It is our lack of understanding of this teaching of Jesus Christ that has brought most of the frustrations to the lives of believers. Many of us also want to live like the people of the world around us. We have forgotten that the Spirit in us is not of the world. (John 17:14).   What is this mystery? It is a mystery of focusing and spending our lives on God’s purposes for our lives above all things to bring glory to God. The Bible says, ...

JOYFUL

Nehemiah 8:1-11
Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” (V 10)

    One of the lifestyles of victors is that they live always in joy. If you observe some strong men you know, you will observe this in them. Sorrow has nothing good to offer any man. It will rather demoralise and evaporates our strength.

Sorrow is never a foundation of faith. It only produces fear and make men becomes very cheap for the devil to overcome. But joy is our inward delight and liberty expressed in the face of battle (Proverbs 15:13). It is a virtue that expresses the good state of man’s mind. A joyful mind is the fittest for victory in every situation. Joy gives strength to the mind of man. It is a good foundation for faith and confidence (Isaiah 12:3).

If you are aiming at living victoriously, then joyful living is essential. Haven’t understand the evil of sorrow, Nehemiah quickly warn God’s people against it. Letting them know that joy in God is they strength they have.

Friend, choose to live in joy. It is sweeter. It is the best for you. Handover your sorrow to Jesus and take His Joy (1 Peter 5:7). Always be conscious of His presence (Psalm 16:11). Then you will always find the joy of the Lord for strength that you desire.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always choose joy no matter the situation

‘JOY IS AN ATMOSPHERE FOR STRENGTH AND VICTORY’

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 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...
