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...

SPIRIT FILLED

Isaiah 59:15-21
Devotional:- So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. (V 19)

    One thing that identifies us with God as His children is the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. It is therefore important for every believer to be filled with the Holy Spirit daily.  This is by fellowshipping with God - reading or listening to the word of God, worship and praying in the spirit on constant basis.

The workings of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers includes alerting us, energizing us and helping us to pray (Romans 8:26). That is why a believer must be sensitive to the Spirit.

Many a time, the devil seek to attack us, but the bible says, whenever he is doing that the Holy Spirit will raise a standard against him. The Holy Spirit does that by alerting us sometimes to pray. Other times to praise God, at some instances, the spirit will just wake us from our sleep to read God's word.

All of this are ways through which the Holy Spirit directs us to give us victory over all our adversaries. But it is only a privilege for believers who are filled with the Spirit. You also need to set time aside to ask for the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Then you will become sensitive enough to overcome in the battles of life.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me by your Spirit to always overcome.

"THE FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT GUARANTEES VICTORIOUS LIVING ".

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...
