  BE VIGILANT 1 Peter 5:7-14 Devotional:- “ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour ” (v.8) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional BE VIGILANT Support Us 1 Peter 5:7-14 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Just like a soldier at the battle front, so are Christians in this world. Since the day you confessed Jesus as your Lord and savior you have decamped from the camp of the devil to that of Jesus (1 Peter 2:9). These camps are ever against one another, just like light and darkness cannot co-exist.   So you as a Christian must not relax. You must be vigilant. The word vigilant means your mind must be alert. It means you must be sensitive. It means you must be battle ready. To be sober simply means to humbly accept the responsibility of y...

BOLDNESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

BOLDNESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Proverbs 28:1-7
Devotional:- The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion” (V.1) NKJV

    No atom of weakness can overcome the devil. Unrighteousness is his attitude, so unrighteousness cannot confront him (1 John 3:8). You must realize that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). That is why you cannot afford to be weak. Always remember that our fight is a fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12). Christ has defeated the devil on the cross (Colossians 2:15). We have been given the victory of Christ because Jesus is in us by His Spirit that is in us (1 John 4:4). Christians who toil with sin will soon face disgrace; so, Beware! One of the strengths you need to put on for victory as a Christian is the boldness of righteousness. God’s words call it the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14). This is a strange level of confidence; the scripture says it commands boldness like that of a lion.

The boldness of righteousness is in two dimensions. The first is a product of faith in God’s word that claims the righteousness which is given to us by God through Jesus Christ. This is not by your own making. God’s words say it is not of work but faith (Romans 3:21-22, 2 Corinthians 5:20). No man can be so right with God, you must always put on this righteousness by faith, and then you are qualified. This righteousness is of Christ who dwells in you. So, whenever God sees you, He sees the righteous Spirit (the Holy Spirit) in you. The second is obedience to the word of God. When you obey God’s commandment you are entitled to God’s covenant reward (Deuteronomy 28:1).

As a child of God, this righteousness gives you strange boldness that no devil can wait for. Arise in this light and be courageous to win.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

“THE LEVEL OF YOUR STRENGTH IS KNOWN ON YOUR CHEST”

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...
