PATIENCE  Romans 5:1-11 Devotional:- And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance (V. 3) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional PATIENCE Support Us Romans 5:1-11 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Do you know that it is not the practice of wisdom to be impatient when it comes to issues of life? I am not talking about skill or performance, which has to do with speed and accuracy. But when it comes to making a decision, making a choice, taking major steps in confusion and many others. All of these call for patience. If you are to act in wisdom, understand your ways and always take steps to success, you need patience. May I let you know that wickedness is always carried out in haste to escape being caught? So all of the devil's activities are carried out in haste. ...

JOY DEFINED

II Corinthians 3:7-18

“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (v.17) NKJV


The reason many don’t always experience or retain joy is that they don’t really understand what joy is. We sometimes relate it to laughter, but this is not so. Laughter is only one of the components of joy, and there are others, such as freedom or a free system. To define joy, you will need to first understand that it is the product of the presence of God (Psalm 16:11). That is why it is not equal to happiness that is caused by a happening or an event, but joy is a result of an indwelling Spirit of God. Happiness is temporal, while joy is an abiding Spirit.

Our scripture today taught us the meaning of joy. It is simply a released heart, and this is brought by the Spirit of God. It is a heart free from all manner of bondages. Loose yourself from all manner of bondage of condemnation. It is a way of opening up our hearts for the peace and rest in God to dwell there. It is totally settling down in the Holy Spirit. That is why the scripture says Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Friend, as a Spirit-filled believer, start to allow the liberty of the Holy Spirit in your heart according to the word of God for your freedom (John 8:32). And you shall be filled with the Spirit of joy.


Prayer: Lord, teach me the truth of your word.

“GOD’S SPIRIT IS THE ENGINE OF JOY, BUT IT TAKES KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH TO OPERATE IT”

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.
