MEMBERS OF HIS BODY  Ephesians 5:21-33 Devotional:- “ For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. ” (V.30) NKJV . 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional MEMBERS OF HIS BODY Support Us Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Ephesians 5:21-33 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Believers need to know that God’s word calls us members of the body of Christ. There are so many clubs in this world that men are proud to be part of. This is because being a member of such a club entitles them to some benefit. It entitles them to some privileges and earns them great respect. Membership of such a club is not picked on the floor. It takes some process and commitment to achieve it. Much more than this , God’s word says we are members of the body of Christ. When I see some believers, not mindful of thei...

OVERCOMING OPPRESSION

OVERCOMING OPPRESSION

Luke 9:37-42
Devotional:- “And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father” (V. 42) NKJV

    One force or the other often oppresses people today.  The devil knows how to torment people secretly. In most cases, only the victims know what they are going through. Precisely, it is the spirit of the devil that oppresses humans. Many have been robbed of good sleep and rest. Others don’t enjoy being alive anymore. The boy we read about today was also under the oppression of the devil. This force made him fall down and sometimes threw him inside fire. This force disgraced him everywhere by making him fall to the ground and foam in the mouth. Such disease will even make some roll on the floor in public or make them scratch their body with stones.

To overcome an oppressive spirit, a man needs to be delivered by a superior power, the power of God. A man can get delivered by being determined to divorce the devil and all his work in the name of Jesus. This can be done by the assistance of the Holy Spirit not minding the reaction of the devil. But that is not enough, Jesus said, when a spirit is cast out, it will always come back to check if it can find a space to stay. And except it found a stronger spirit in the heart of the person, it will come back again in seven folds (Mathew 12:43-45)

This demands that you build yourself strong in the Lord. The problem with many is that they don’t want to be tormented but they don’t also want to be strong in the Lord. To be strong, you need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Grow up your faith in the word of God. Cultivate a lifestyle of personal and collective fellowship with God, and walk in total obedience to God to earn boldness to resist the devil (Proverbs 28:1). Ingratitude is always at the root of every depression. Always purge your heart with the blood of Jesus and be thankful. Be strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6:10). Know that the devil is a liar. Whatever he tells you is not true (John 8:44). Stop being afraid of him and your life shall experience total liberty in Jesus Christ.

PRAYER: LORD, GRANT ME STRENGTH TO OVERCOME EVERY OPPRESSIVE SPIRIT.

“IT TAKES A STRONGER POWER TO OPPRESS THE WEAK”

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.

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.
