BEWARE OF BORROWING  Romans 13:7-10 Devotional:- Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. (V. 8) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional BEWARE OF BORROWING Support Us Romans 13:7-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com It is easy for man to quickly think of borrowing, but it is always difficult to pay back. We therefore need to know that it is not normal to keep borrowing in life. A way out is the understanding of God’s pattern for our life. So that we will not serve under the burden of debt all the days of our lives (Proverbs 22:7) We need to understand that God supply materials to us as needed at a time. Whatever you have today is God’s provision; what he expects you to prudently plan and manage very well. If you therefore go and borrow, you are only showing an i...

PLEASURE

Proverbs 21:13-20 
Devotional:- “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich” (v.17) NKJV

    It is of great importance that we consider something that may make it difficult for us to manage our nest level, one of such is pleasure. Pleasure mentality has become a big weight on the neck of some people’s destiny. Pleasure mentality is doing things only for the fun of it. Doing things only to get the enjoyment out of it, and not having the purpose in mind.

Doing things with an unserious mind. Misinterpreting looseness to be freedom. Taking indiscipline and idleness to be fun. Desiring to get something to show others that you are there. Many of these things are not outrightly wrong, but when that is your main purpose of pursuit. It may produce frustration, for it will lack divine support.

I found out that people have this nature in their lives as it emanates from their poverty mentality. They are envious of people's cars, houses or offices as though they are already in heaven. So they pray and desire in their hearts to have such so that they can also have the same pleasures. They always think of having money to begin to go about all the kitchens in town. They cherish sleeping, eating, and playing more than working. They love to drive about or sit in someone’s car to be driven about in the town for no particular goal. They always look for free food. They complain about every assignment but rejoice in holidays.

God’s word says, he that loves pleasure shall be poor. In other words, even if they are rich now, they are coming down. Such people have no future. There is only a future for your wealth when you love to labour. Commit yourself to the pursuit of your destiny. Sit down and work. The real pleasure is to achieve your goal. Soon, it will be normal for you to drive big cars, live in a beautiful house, and even travel abroad. You are growing up.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO REFOCUS MY LIFE FOR YOUR GLORY

“WHEN YOUR LONGINGS ARE NOT FOR GENUINE GOALS, THEY MAY PROLONG YOUR JOURNEY”

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.
