DEFINE PLEASURE  Proverbs 21:12-21 Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.” (v. 17) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional DEFINE PLEASURE Support Us Proverbs 21:12-21 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com There is nothing wrong with pleasure, but there is a need to define what it means in a way that it will not bring destruction to you. Pleasure to most people means idleness, sleeping, jesting, watching T.V and all sorts of films, extravagant spending at beer parlous and hotels, eating in all the city kitchens and to some it is just travelling all around. The truth is that none of those things are real pleasure. If those things are what you call pleasures, then, no matter how much you have now, poverty and sorrow are on the way. Real pleasure is not that which man creat...

A PRIEST

I Peter 2:4-8
Devotional:- “You also… have been built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices." (v.5)

    In the Old Testament, the priests are the only people permitted by God to take up sacred affairs in the house of God. They are the ones approved by God to move closer to God and to touch the holy materials. It is an abomination for them to touch any unholy material. They are never to defile themselves with any unlawful thing. They stand on behalf of people before God and of God before people. They are permitted to have direct access to God.

The scripture we read today announced you as a priest of God. As a New Testament saint, you have been ordained into the royal priesthood of Christ (I Peter 2:9). You can have direct access to God. You are His holy vessel. You need no middleman to worship or pray to God. You don’t need a consultant or a contractor to get you to God. You are the one to take people there. You can always offer your sacrifices of praise, worship, thanksgiving, supplication, intercession, and offering, and it will be acceptable unto God. That is why you must not defile yourself with sin (Isaiah 52:11). You must always be conscious of your sacred office. So that God’s glory can always be seen in you.

In case you live in an environment where there are no fellowships, start to gather people around you to worship the Lord. You are a priest of God. Not by garment or human ordination but by God’s ordination. God will always confirm your word when you pray for people if you believe (Isaiah 44:26). Receive God's righteous boldness from now and lead others to God.

Prayer: Lord, let your mark of priesthood be on me.

“A PRIEST IS A SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY OVER LIFE.”

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...
