  WORD TIME  Psalms 119:97-104 Devotional:- “I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation” (v.99) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional WORD TIME Support Us Psalms 119:97-104 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com   When Moses gave the law to the nation of Israel, he told them that if they would keep the laws of the Lord, all other nations would call them a wise nation. But they lack understanding. Today, many people do not know the value of the word of God. So many Christians still look at the Bible as a religious story book. So we only take it to church for religious exercises. But I need to let you know that if your life is going to have value, you must learn to value God’s word and make time to study and meditate on it. There is nothing under heaven that is as valuable as God’s...

SETBACK

SETBACK

Genesis 39:10-21

Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV


Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it.

Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteousness, and at last God exalted him.

Friend, whatever looks like a demotion to you today, as far as you remain in God’s will, is a set-up for your promotion. That is why you must not let it affect your joy. God is only taking you through a time of test (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). All of these are to develop Christlike character in you (Romans 5:1-3). When you pass the test, then your promotion will come. So, seek for what God want you to learn in that situation. Get to know that God is on your side and he will not let you fall nor see destruction (Psalm 16:10). Look carefully into your situation, and like Joseph did, you will see opportunities in the midst of your opposition. Think of what you can still do to serve and put in your best, and God will give you a higher joy.


Prayer: Lord, show me the way to the top

“SETBACKS ARE OFTEN IN THE FORM OF STRATEGIES TO SET YOU ON TOP”

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.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
