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...

STAND ON

1 Chronicles 19:10-15
Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight.” (V 13)

    Battles of life can sometimes look prevailing over us. It might even look as if one is failing despite all efforts. Sometimes some people look at their situation and conclude that they cannot survive it. They conclude on this because of what they can see happening around them physically but forgetting that situations and people’s comment are not good materials to judge the race of life.

The event we read in God’s word today shows us the army of Israel in the battle front. Their experiences have always been victories since God has always been with them. But now the battle seems going tough against them. Yet they refused to give up. They encouraged themselves and they stood on until they had their victory.

You need to also learn this wisdom. Learn to be courageous. Don’t be discouraged easily because of situation and people’s comments. If you can only stand on, you will become victorious. Throw away the pains of past failures. Re-organize yourself to relaunch against the enemy. Your yesterday’s failure is a proof that you can succeed. Also, failure is a proof that you can succeed tomorrow. Don’t give up. God is on your side. If you are weak physically God is not weak. Accept His strength by faith and stand on to victory. No power will be able to defeat you when God is in you.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep standing my ground by faith in you.

“YOU CAN ONLY BE DEFEATED WHEN YOU GIVE IN OR GIVE UP”

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...
