TAKE THE LOWLY PLACE  Luke 14:7-14 Devotional:- But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. (V. 10) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional TAKE THE LOWLY PLACE Support Us Luke 14:7-14 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com No one wants to be a floor member. But do you know that honour is better than shame? When some people are invited to occasion, oftentimes think they are so important and expecting too much honour only to earn shame in return. When you are invited to any occasion, dress well but humble yourself; you are not to be the most important. Don’t begin to think you are the only person there. Be willing to sit in the low place.

RISING FROM DEFEAT

RISING FROM DEFEAT

Joshua 7:2-12
Devotional:- “So the LORD said to Joshua: "Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?” (V. 10) NKJV

    When a man is defeated, the enemy often wants him to see it as the end of life. He will make him see how he has put in so much and has resulted in failure; he will make him see most things as ‘impossible in life, and bring discouragement to his heart. It is not in the devil’s interest that you rise again. He often wants to discourage us from rising from defeat.

If you find these challenges in your life, you need to first know that most of the things that the devil is saying to your hearing are lies (John 8:44). You need to know that your victory in life is already established in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37). Even though you are looked down upon today you will soon be standing in glory. Joshua and the children of Israel so much looked down on Ai and sent a few people to fight them. Surprisingly they were defeated. Joshua and the people got discouraged. They became afraid of what will become of their lives and they never knew that Achan had sinned against the Lord. Listen, no matter how much God promised a man, if the man continues in sin the grace of God will not flow (Romans 6:1-2).

In the state of your defeat always check if you are not disobedient to God. Sin is what will make Him turn back; then correct your ways. But having examined yourself, you need to rise again and face life's challenges. Defeat in life does not mean we have sinned alone; it might also mean that God wants to take total glory on your enemy. After all, if you have never been defeated you will not appreciate victory. Everything happening around you is meant to give you comprehensive testimony. Those who are laughing at you today will soon laugh with you. Don’t give up, God is with you (Romans 8:31). You are too much to be defeated. Arise and win.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO RISE AGAIN

“HE THAT IS TRULY DEFEATED IS THE ONE THAT REFUSES TO RISE FROM DEFEAT”

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

  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.
