  START FROM THERE   2 Kings 4:1-7 Devotional:- “So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil”” (v.2) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional START FROM THERE Support Us 2 Kings 4:1-7 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com One of the tricks the devil wants to employ on us is to always make us unnecessary feeling inadequate. He is always making us to think we don’t have what we need to succeed. That is why most people often think if they have so, so and so then they would have been able to make it. But if we want to face the reality of life, right in our hands and heart lies what can make us succeed. It is true that we need the help and favour of God. But they will only catch up with us when we are us...

NO SHOW

2 Kings 20:12-21 
Devotional:- “And Hezekiah was attentive to them, and showed them all the house of his treasures-the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armoury-all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them” (v. 13) NKJV. 

    A great problem in the lives of many people is the spirit of show-off. The fundamental reason why they do everything is that people may see their glory and beauty, so any little opportunity they have, they will use to display that all men may see. If you see how some sit in their car and cross their legs on the dashboard.

You will know that they can’t go too far. This has been the trick that has held many down for a long time, and many who had been up before have been brought down. Since your season to rise has come, you have to be careful of the spirit of show-off.

The reason why this spirit brought many people down was that they unwisely exposed themselves to the enemy. That is why God’s word says, Be sober: be vigilant, for the enemy is looking for whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8). The king we read about today has been greatly helped by God to gather much wealth during his rulership. But the devil smartly sneaked into his life and he offended God.

Watch out, friend, don’t expose yourself to the enemy. Rather, give glory to God. Show-off is a product of pride and ego, which God is against. If you intend to keep flying in life, then humble yourself. Do not choose to show. Stop throwing parties for a waste. Let wisdom guide your heart. Stop pretending to be where you are not (Proverbs 13:7). It will often make you lie to please men and displease God. Watch out!

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO CHOOSE TO PLEASE YOU RATHER THAN TO PLEASE MEN.

“LIFE IS TO BE APPRECIATED AND NOT FOR UNDUE CELEBRATION”

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.

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.
