  HIS PRESENCE   Genesis 28:10-22 Devotional:- “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you" (v.15) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional HIS PRESENCE Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Genesis 28:10-22 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com It is always the target of the enemy to make us feel God is not with us. But you need to know that the devil is always a liar (John 8:44). Whatever makes you feel God has left you must be the devil because that is against the scripture, for the Bible says the scripture cannot be broken. God’s word says, “… I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5). I would like you to underline this in your Bible and give it a double line to never allow it to fade away in your mem...

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.

COURAGE

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.
