MEMBERS OF HIS BODY  Ephesians 5:21-33 Devotional:- “ For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. ” (V.30) NKJV . 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional MEMBERS OF HIS BODY Support Us Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Ephesians 5:21-33 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Believers need to know that God’s word calls us members of the body of Christ. There are so many clubs in this world that men are proud to be part of. This is because being a member of such a club entitles them to some benefit. It entitles them to some privileges and earns them great respect. Membership of such a club is not picked on the floor. It takes some process and commitment to achieve it. Much more than this , God’s word says we are members of the body of Christ. When I see some believers, not mindful of thei...

PURPOSE OF LOVE

 PURPOSE OF LOVE


Romans 5:6-11

Devotional:- “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us..” (V. 8). NKJV

Sometimes we make such a mistake as loving only our lovers. We do not often think that by this we fulfill the Law of Moses and not the law of grace, loving only those who love us and probably hating those who hate us. But this is not true love. If you understand the purpose of love, you will know that love is not needed when everyone is perfect, but most needed because we are not.

The scripture we read today demonstrates one of the greatest acts of God’s love to us. And this is a revelation of God’s love to you. Even though you commit sin and He hates sin, yet He loves you. It is for your sake that He sent Jesus, His only son, to die on the cross. See, people may hate you for one reason or another, but God loves you. He so much believed in you that He had to give up His son to die for your sake (1 John 4:9-10).

God taught us some lessons by the love he showed us in this scripture. That we ought not to wait till someone loves us before we love them. This is because we have to become love personified like God. Thisi by growing in the character of love. Then we will be able to give from what we have (Matthew 12:35). He also taught us to sow love to reap love. Today, we love Him because He first loved us. Hate no one. Love is enduring, tolerant, and kind. If someone is already perfect, you will not need to tolerate or endure them.

Friend, if God could love you while you were in sin, you also ought to love the imperfect people around you. If God loves you and you don’t love others, will God justify you? Be it your spouse, friend, colleague or brother; sow love in their lives to reap their love. And you shall be like your father in heaven.

Prayer: Lord, grant me grace to always love notwithstanding.

“OUR IMPERFECTION IS WHAT NECESSITATED GOD’S LOVE TO 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.

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.
