WAIT FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS  Proverbs 10:19-25 “The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it”. (V. 22) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional WAIT FOR GOD'S BLESSINGS Support Us Proverbs 10:19-25 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com God the creator of the heavens and the earth, the owner of silver and gold and the giver of every true blessing is still the same (Haggai 2:8, Psalm 24:1). He still blesses His people with wonderful blessings. It is this understanding that many are lacking that is making them run after blessings that will neither profit nor benefit their life. So many Fave resulted to stealing. So many have resorted to cheating, oppressing and manipulating others. But we need to know that these are not blessings from God but through wickedness. It is of the devil, and many sorrow...

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 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.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
