  TAKE NO OFFENCE Luke 7:18-30 Devotional:- “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me” (v.23) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional TAKE NO OFFENCE Support Us Luke 7:18-30 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Sometimes, men easily get offended. That is, they get annoyed and refuse to relate to one another. Many of us have some people we don’t greet now on this account. Some people have taken offence at their parents and relations, and they refused to relate to them. The truth is that if you know the harm you are doing to yourself by so doing, you will give up on this.   In the scripture we read today, John the Baptist was not happy because Jesus did not come to rescue him from prison, and he took offence at Christ. He sent messengers to Jesus to ask if He was the Christ or not. This question see...

FATHER OF LIGHT

FATHER OF LIGHT

1 John 1:1-10
Devotional:- “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.” (V. 5) NKJV

    Our God is referred to as the God of light. He dwells in great light (1 Timothy 6:16). He is referred to as the father of light (James 1:17). He is the creator of light. In this light is the strength and the life of men (John 1:4).

When the Bible referred to God as light it interprets quite some things of benefit to us. It means God is the master over darkness. Darkness here could stand for the devil, evil or wickedness. The Bible says the light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend it (John 1:5). In other words wherever God is, the devil, evil or wickedness cannot prosper there. When we dwell in God and He in us, the evil and the wicked forces of this world cannot overpower us. God dwells in you when you ask Him to come into your heart and when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).

Light also means understanding and brightness of the mind. From God comes understanding (Job 32:8). Every man is only strong or successful at the level of his understanding. It is the correct assimilation of knowledge that produces wise action. Light also means discretion for direction. The more you humbly relate with God the more your understanding will be. God gives understanding both for wisdom and discretion through His word (Psalm 119:115, 130). When you keep relating with God, the light of discretion will increase in your life. Why others are stumbling you will keep running and keep advancing. Stop walking in darkness. Whenever you are walking in sin, you are walking in darkness. Sin will make you a victim of darkness (1 John 3:8). Flee from sin (1 Timothy 6:11). Hate anything of darkness, they are unfruitful (Ephesians 5:11)., And God of light will make you succeed.

Prayer: Lord, shine forth your light over my life and destiny.

“LIGHT IS THE AUTOMATIC SOLUTION TO DARKNESS”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). 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 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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
