HOURS OF PRAYER  Acts 3:1-10 Devotional:- “Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour” (V.1) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional HOUSE OF PRAYER Support Us Acts 3:1-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Most people only pray or want to pray when they are faced with challenges. But for growing children of God. Prayer is not just making a demand. It is also creating time to be with our father. Much more than our request, God wants us around Him. He wants us always to speak and commune with Him.   Observing the scripture, you will discover prayer has been the habit of all men of God, including Jesus Christ (Luke 6:12). Jesus spent many of his nights praying and the days working. And when He was teaching the disciples, He said, “Pray lest you fall into temptatio...

JOY DEFINED

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”

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.

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
