WALKING WITH GOD   Genesis 17:1-8 Devotional:- “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” (v. 1) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional WALKING WITH GOD Support Us Genesis 17:1-8 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com Sometimes we become too mindful of the enemy and pay no attention to the covenant of God for our lives. Sometimes our challenges make us lose focus on God. We need to realise that this is the trick of the devil. He only wants to smartly disconnect us from our source. And a river that is disconnected from its source will soon dry up.   Abraham was looking for his own way to make things happen in his life and started losing focus on God by getting another wife to fulfil the promise of God. He was try...

GIFT AND GRACE

 GIFT AND GRACE


Romans 12:3-8
Devotional:- “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith”(V. 6) NIV
 
One of the means through which we can demonstrate our love to others is by using the grace and the gifts that are in our lives. As a child of God, you are privileged to enjoy two levels of gifts. The first are the talents and gifts. The second are the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There is no one who is not talented in one area or the other. It may be to cook, sing, design, draw or write. It could also be in the area of sport or decoration. But as a child of God, there is another dimension of gifts in your life given by the Holy Spirit. These are gifts of prophecy, healing, knowledge, wisdom, working of miracles, discernment of spirit, diverse tongues or interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:6-10).

If you don’t know that you have any of this gift, it is because you have not carefully observed to discover them. In each of these gifts and talents, you will discover a particular one in which you excel more. On that, you have been enjoying God’s grace, and all you need is to develop and use them consciously.

The essence of these gifts and talents is that we might use them in love to help and be a blessing to others. In that lies your profit also. The scripture we read today says, if it is prophecy, use it at the level of faith, if it is teaching or encouraging, do it with all your heart, if it is giving, rather do it generously, if it is leadership, do it with all diligence, or mercy with cheerfulness.

Remember those gifts are not yours they are of God, They are given to us for the sake of others (Genesis 12:1-2). So be willing to use them with love. The amazing thing is that if you hoard them, they fade away, but if you keep using them to bless people, you will keep getting richer in the gifts. Get involve in service units of your church or other community and your gifts will manifest. Please, always put it in mind that God made you to solve problems in the world and this you do by serving others. Friend, you are privileged, so be a blessing

Prayer: Lord, make me a blessing to my generation.
“FULFILLMENT IN LIFE COMES FROM BEING A BLESSING”

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...
