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...

MEN OF FAITH

Hebrews 11:30-35
Devotional:-“Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises stopped the mouth of lions’’. (V. 33)

    

    Faith is an essential weapon in the hand of those that will be referred to as victors. Our scripture today shows us the catalogue of men of faith who were victorious through faith. People who did extraordinary things on this planet earth, who fought battle and won. People who took their lives in their hands and yet never died. People who faced terrible situations and yet never defeated. We actually have much to learn of them.

The main and very common thing to these great people is faith. Faith is believing the word of God and acting on it accordingly. It is not bold-face but accepting God's word as true and taking steps by the instruction received from it. It is taking the word as it is and basing your life on it. It is only men of faith that can enjoy or receive anything from God (Hebrews 11:6).

Faith is a great virtue that all children of God must possess. God's word says "the just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17). Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcome the world our faith" (1 John 5:4).

The opposite of faith is doubt and fear. All this will not allow you to enjoy God in any form (James 1:6-8). Being afraid of your situation will only make you a victim (Job 3:25). Whatever He says, just believe it and continue to confess it. How or when He is going to do it is not your problem. He is committed to His word, and He said it will not pass away (Mark 13:31). Be ready to die rather than doubting God's word and you shall live to see it fulfilled. Doubt comes from experiences and situations but faith comes by the word (Romans 10:17). Tap into it from now for your daily victory. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to build up in the faith of your word for my victory

"A MAN OF FAITH IS AN ESTABLISHED VICTOR".

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...
