AVOID GAINS OF DISHONESTY  Proverbs 13:4-12 Devotional:- Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, But he who gathers by labor will increase. (V. 11) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional AVOID GAINS OF DISHONESTY Support Us Proverbs 13:4-12 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most people just want increase. Whatever means doesn’t really matter, it is increase that matters to them. So they employ both cheating and stealing and every means to gather. What they call their gain, someone else’s sweat is in it; some of the money is even blood money. But do you know that God cannot be mocked? Whatsoever a man sowed, he shall reap (Gal 6:7). Since the money or the property does not belong to them, God place on them the curse of diminishing returns. And they will never know how or what has happened until they are back ...

THE RIGHTEOUS

THE RIGHTEOUS

Romans 3:21-26
Devotional:- “even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference” (V. 22) NKJV

    It is only a person with the life of God in him/her that can be righteous. This is because righteousness is the nature of God and not of man (Romans 3:10). Moral standard does not make anyone qualify as righteous before the Lord. That is why the bible says the righteousness of man can be likened to a dirty rag before the Lord (Isaiah 64:6). Anyone that does not the Spirit of God cannot operate the nature of God. Such is counted unrighteous no matter how well-behaved or moral standard. Because we only judge what we see God sees all things. We look at the face; He looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

But do you know that because you have invited Jesus into your heart, you have the Spirit of God at work in you (1 Corinthians 12:3). That makes you have the life of God. And you by your faith in Christ Jesus are counted righteous (Romans 4:3). Friend, before God you are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus no matter what people say. That is why you must not allow any condemnation in your heart (Romans 8:1). It is altogether a trick of the devil to pull down your mind and your confidence in the Lord your God. You will know a Christian by his daily walk with God and that is making his life change from glory to glory.

Look here; you are not righteous because of what you do or what you do not. You just have the nature and the approval of God. This is strength for boldness and confidence in Christ (Proverbs 28:1). See, the attitude of always trying to confess even the sins you don’t know is fear and doubt (Job 1:5;3:25; Proverbs 29:25). You better stop it. You carry the righteousness of God in you. Not declared by man but by God.

PRAYER: LORD, SWITCH ME ON TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MY RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ONLY GOD’S APPROVAL NOT MAN’S”

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.
