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...

PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLD 

2 Corinthians 10:1-6 NKJV
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, (V 5)

    There is a strong power God has put in a man and that is our thought; which determines our life. It rules over our life. God’s word says, for as a man thinks in his heart so is he (Proverbs 23:7). It is what we are thinking in our mind meditatively that will eventually happen in our practical life. And so, devil the enemy of God and man knows and take advantage of this weapon in our live. He carries in through our thought. He makes us think negatively, and so become fearful and doubtful.

This has become a great problem in the life of most people. They find it difficult to believe the word of God. It has made many negative in faith. Many people are afraid of the devil more than God. In fact, some people in their hearts see the devil stronger than God in one way or the other. This is what the Bible refers to as stronghold. The power that can hold us back. These are wrong thoughts that has captured our heart. Note that evil and sinful thought are silent killer of destiny 

A victor only allows what God says to dominate his mind or thought. And when the wrong thought comes, we pull it down by the word of God and by the blood of the lamb will purify our heart. No matter your past experience with the devil or pains, now you are a child of God. Don’t keep entertaining evil thoughts. Let what God says rule your thought system. Learn to say no to evil and sinful thoughts. And you will surely overcome.

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to only allow your victorious thoughts in my heart

“IT TAKES RULING OVER YOUR THOUGHTS TO BECOME A RULER”.

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...
