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...

DAY OF SIGHT 

Mark 10:46-52
Devotional:- “And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (V.47) NKJV

    Many of us do not know that we are a factor in determining our situations. If you say it is now, nothing can stop it. If you say it is later, it is according to what you say. Hannah said, “It is now” and it was so (1 Samuel 1). Jacob said, “It is now” and it was so (Genesis 32:24-30). I don’t know when your own will be.

This man, called Bartimaeus has been a beggar and a blind man for a long time. But I can read the state of the heart of this man. He was a man of vision. He was only a beggar by circumstance, so, he took his begging to the highway and not in a corner. Now that he is a beggar, he decides to be an international beggar. He knew that one day, he would gain his sight, so he was gathering and saving his strength for his day of sight. He knew soon he would have his car, wife, and children. When Jesus was passing, he knew it was his miracle day. So he put in his best till he got it. Vision will let you recognize opportunities.

Friend, what will be of you at last? When is your day of sight? Are you ever planning, saving, or investing for a better tomorrow? Today can bring a new dawn into your life but you are to determine it. See there is no reason why you should not be great. It is never late except you say so. You can still rise. Jesus is standing right by your side. Kneel down to call on him and touch Him. Then rise to make it in Jesus' name.

Declaration: I will arise for My light has come.

“WHEN YOU RISE ALL THINGS WILL RISE”

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

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...
