  TAKING INSTRUCTION Luke 5:1-10 Devotional:- “But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net"" (v.5) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional TAKING INSTRUCTION Support Us Luke 5:1-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com For anyone to come to the status of dominion, such must be willing to take the instructions of the great God. Instructions are commandments and directions from someone who knows better. And that is why God must be our instructor, though He could use His word and His holy people to speak to us.   We have to come to the awareness that we don’t know all things. What we don’t know could be used by the enemy to delay and destroy (Hosea 4:6). The fact that things are working the way you think they should does n...

CULTURE

Genesis 46:28-34
Devotional:- “That you shall say, “Your servants’ occupation has been with Livestock from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians” (V. 34)

    In managing our differences, one aspect we have to confront is cultural differences. These are differences resulting from our tribes and their nature. In some tribes, they eat some kind of food that is a taboo to another tribe. Some tribe wears some kind of dresses that is opposite of the other and so on. Apart from language differences, there are much difference from culture to culture. So, this becomes a strong factor to manage if our relationship will work successfully.

Because of the Hebrews culture, the children of Jacob were asked to stay in Goshen. The Bible says, the Egyptians will not like to see their cultural practices. Shepherds are said to be abomination to the people of Egypt (Genesis 46:34). The same thing applicable to each of us, we all have cultural differences. If they are not properly managed, it could break a relationship.

To manage cultural differences, it demands that we understand the culture. Understand the purpose of each of their beliefs and practices. We need to permit some, if it has no negative implication spiritually. By the help of the Holy Spirit and the word of God, we can start to rewrite the negative implicatory ones. In maturity and in love everyone can change. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to overcome the cultural differences in my relationships

“WITH TIME, CULTURE CAN BLEND”.

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...
