  REFUSE DISCOURAGEMENT I Samuel 17:25-32 Devotional:- “Then David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine”” (v.32) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional REFUSE DISCOURAGEMENT Support Us I Samuel 17:25-32 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com   As you run in the race of life, so many things will want to stand in your way to discourage and frustrate you. This is always the plan of the enemy. But I need to let you know that the moment you give up, you simply give up your destiny. Men may say so many things about you or let you feel you are doing nothing when you are putting in your best. Yet you must refuse to be discouraged.   David was a man who had cause to be discouraged in life, but he always refused. One such account is what we read tod...

UNFORGIVENESS

UNFORGIVENESS

Matthew 18:21-36
Devotional:- “Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?” (V. 33) NKJV

    Sometimes it is painful when we have to forgive someone who has done something hurtful to us. This is because we believe he had done it out of a wicked heart and needs to be repaid with the right coin. That is why some people will even go to the point of physical combat. That is, they want to punish their offenders. Because of unforgiveness, best friends have been separated, many marriages have suffered divorce, and we have despised people who could be of blessing and help to us. If God were dealing with us how we deal with others, we would no longer be alive. If men were God, they would have killed all men.

The story we read today talks about a servant that was forgiven so much by his master but he did not forgive his fellow servant. That is the lifestyle of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). God will not also forgive them (Matt.6 14-15). To overcome unforgiveness there is a need to know that it is a sin and a work of the flesh. And we can’t correct a sinner when we are also sinning. Two wrongs will never make a right. You must put your flesh under the control of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). To overcome the flesh you must keep silencing or put to death the deeds of the flesh (Colossians 3:5). If you cannot forgive others, you cage yourself and lose your freedom of joy. It could even cause you sickness. This is because it grows bitterness in the heart and bitterness produces tension. You also need to know that if you will not forgive, God will not forgive you of your sins (Matthew 6:14). Then how shall you escape? God has taught me to forgive men even before they offend me. Besides, I have realized that people offend others out of their ignorance. Jesus says, Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing (Luke 23:34). Whatever that person did was done because of his low level of understanding. No matter what anyone or group of people has done to you, release them. Don’t hold them for ransom to ruin your life and destiny; you could be locking up your miracles. But as you release others you also will be released. And you Will experience a great peace in your heart. Your glorious destiny is about to unfold. You won’t miss it.

PRAYER: LORD, RELEASE YOUR GRACE OF FORGIVENESS UPON ME.

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...
