  KINGDOM FIRST Matthew 6:25-34 Devotional:- “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (v.33) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional KINGDOM FIRST Support Us Matthew 6:25-34 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com   To reign in this wicked world, believers must understand the mystery of living a ‘kingdom first’ life. It is our lack of understanding of this teaching of Jesus Christ that has brought most of the frustrations to the lives of believers. Many of us also want to live like the people of the world around us. We have forgotten that the Spirit in us is not of the world. (John 17:14).   What is this mystery? It is a mystery of focusing and spending our lives on God’s purposes for our lives above all things to bring glory to God. The Bible says, ...

SUBMISSION

Devotional:- “Submitting to one another in the fear of God” (V. 21)

        Most people look at the word submission as a statement of weakness. In the world, the word submission interprets surrender i.e., to accept defeat and submit to fate. So, most people struggle in life because they have dreams and aspiration they don’t know how to achieve. The truth is that until God is part of our race, it may be hard to achieve. The word submission in the word of God is living to allow the will of God to be done in all areas of our lives (Matthew 26:39).

The word of God says, we should submit to each other in the fear of the Lord. This is to allow the will of God to direct the way we relate. Whenever we are doing this, we are giving honour to Christ by doing what pleases Him. Whenever we reference and submit to each other, then, we are cooperating with each other. In submission, we respect each other. This is an act of letting the opinion of others count. It is willingness to listen and take counsel or correction from others.

To be submissive does not mean we don’t know what we are doing, but rather to tolerate and allow other people’s opinion. This helps us to foster unity and friendship. The word of God specifically asks the women to submit to their husband (Ephesians 5:22). This is to be done as unto the Lord. This will give your husband a mentality of leadership and headship. That will help you to observe and counsel him. By that, you will be his best adviser. It will therefore be wise that men also submit and listen to the advice of their wives. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a submissive Spirit.

“SUBMISSION IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, BUT WISDOM”

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...
