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.

YOUR BACKGROUND

YOUR BACKGROUND 

I Samuel 9:17-22
Devotional:- “Pardon me, sir, “Saul replied, I’m from the tribe of Benjamin, the Smallest in Israel, and my family is the least important of all the families of the tribe! You must have the wrong man!” (V. 21) TLB

    It is often said that every man is a product of his background. Just like every stream is a product of its source. Sometimes, no amount of training can change a person, as their background remains a significant factor. He may be afraid to do some wrong things in front of others, but in private, he might be doing it. Asking some people to divorce their background is like asking them to die. Yet some people live in backgrounds that will never make them succeed or excel in life. If we focus on our background, we could disqualify ourselves from being able to attain great achievements in life

You need to stop looking at your background to determine your tomorrow. Yes, background influences your destiny, and that is the reason for the new birth experience in Christ so we can have a new background. Old things need to pass away in our lives, and part of it is our weak background (2 Corinthians 5: 17). If you are born again, the nature of God is born into your spirit man. So you have a royal background in Christ Jesus and your future is kingly (1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 5:9-10).

Jesus brought you from the former to the new. (Galatians 3: 13-14). Stop condemning yourself like Saul. God always loves to give people of no-good backgrounds a glorious future. He removes people from the back or on the ground to the front in a glorious place. Settle it in your heart that you are moving from that background to your glorious place in Christ.

PRAYER: LORD, BRING ME TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MY NEW BACKGROUND.

“A MAN CAN MOVE FROM THE BACK TO THE FRONT BY FAITH IN CHRIST”

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.

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.
