But you would not” (v. 15) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional PEACE Support Us Isaiah 30:8-18 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Peace is a word spoken only among the mature. Most people don’t have it in their system, so it cannot exist in their environment (Romans 3:17). But we need to know that good growth is only possible in a peaceful environment. So if you desire growth, you must embrace peace.   This is a state in which you are calm and restful, untroubled and not disturbed.

SUCCESS AND YOUR PURPOSE

SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE


2 Timothy 4:1-8

Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT


When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change.

Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Living for the material achievement are temporal, but living in achievement of your purpose on earth gives you an eternal heritage with God. This is living to achieve the purpose for which you were made. As children of God, we should see all our pursuit as a means of bringing glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31). Our achievements should be used to help us to fulfill our purpose. This is fulfilling your destiny.

Friends, to achieve material success is normal for us as children of God. This is because we seek to bear the fruits of the Spirit which are the factors needed to acquire the worldly things (Galatians 5:22-23); This is because the grace of God will help us as we dream to achieve them (2 Corinthians 9:8); This is because, we are happy and contempt with what God has given us as we move from level to level (1 Timothy 6:6-10); So, we are living a joyful life. We are instructed to seek first the things that pertain to our eternity (Matthew 6:33). Our success therefore is fulfilling our purpose on earth. In this new year, seek to fulfill the purpose of God for your life and you will find the part of success both here and in eternity.


Prayer: Lord, give me understanding for my success

“WHEN YOU ARE LIVING FOR GOD, THE THINGS OF THE WORLD WILL LIVE FOR YOU”

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 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...
