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. ...

PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

 PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY


Ephesians 2:14-22
Devotional:- “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,” (V. 19)

It is important you know that you are created for fellowship and formed for family. No one can fulfill the purpose of God alone. That is why God created a family for His children called the church. There will belong to one another forever (Rom 12:5). Your earthly family cannot continue to care for you but God has made the church a place for each of us to find love for ever.

Please know that the church is not a building it is a group of people who form the body of Christ. The church is an organism and not an organization. One of the first sign of backsliding is when people start to miss fellowship. Whenever we become careless about fellowship every other thing begins to slide too. The church is so important that Jesus had to die for Her (Ephesians 5:25).The church is called the bride of Christ and you can’t tell me you love me and hate my wife as some want to hate the church today (1 Pet. 2:17)

You need a church family that you might be identified with as believer; you need a church family that you might move out of your isolation to learn and grow with others. Your maturity is tested in the fellowship. You need a church family to discover and deploy your gifts and talents. You need a church family to motivate you into evangelism which is the commandment of Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20). You need a church family to keep you from backsliding (Hebrews 3:13). Gods purpose for the church is to be a place of worship to help you focus on God; fellowship to help you face life’s problems, discipleship to help you fortify your faith for victory, ministry to help you fulfill your purpose, evangelism to help you fulfill your mission on earth. True church is a place of true love, help for each other and mercy for each other. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to be disconnected from your family.
“CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT A CHURCH IS LIKE A CHILD WITHOUT A FAMILY’’

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.
