BEWARE OF BORROWING  Romans 13:7-10 Devotional:- Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. (V. 8) NKJV 🎙 Victory Daily Devotional BEWARE OF BORROWING Support Us Romans 13:7-10 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com It is easy for man to quickly think of borrowing, but it is always difficult to pay back. We therefore need to know that it is not normal to keep borrowing in life. A way out is the understanding of God’s pattern for our life. So that we will not serve under the burden of debt all the days of our lives (Proverbs 22:7) We need to understand that God supply materials to us as needed at a time. Whatever you have today is God’s provision; what he expects you to prudently plan and manage very well. If you therefore go and borrow, you are only showing an i...

BURN THE BRIDGE                  Matthew 19:16-26 Devotional Verse: -“Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."”  (Vs. 21)      In the nature of the kingdom of God, everyone who want to be part must be total with God. Human beings are always looking for the way to play safe in life. So, many are always playing smartness with God. Each one who will have the full package in God must burn the bridge behind them.

KINGDOM FRUITS

KINGDOM FRUITS             Luke 6:43-45 Devotional Verse:- “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks”  (Vs. 45)      In the kingdom of God, our understanding should be on the fact that our hearts produce the fruits we bear in life. So many people find all manner of limitation in their lives. The usual thing is that,  man always wants to look for someone or something to put the  blame on. The most blamed person is the devil and this has been the story from the beginning (Genesis 3:12-13). The truth is that, excuses do not change anything.

OVERCOMING NEGATIVE THINKING

OVERCOMING NEGATIVE THINKING             Proverbs 23:1-8 Devotional Verse:- "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you”  (Vs. 7)      One of the habits many people battle with in life is the habit of negative thinking. This is an area where the devil has made many slaves. Though they don't like it, they just must make do with it. The moment they are alone, they engage in thoughts that give them a defeated mentality. Thinking actually exercises the mind. That is why it is normal for your mind to think because this is how it (the mind) is exercised.  Whether your thoughts are negative or positive is what you have to work on.

LIVING ABOVE CONFUSION

LIVING ABOVE CONFUSION               James 3:13-18 Devotional Verse:-“For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there”  (Vs.16)      The kingdom of God is not a kingdom of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). One of the greatest troubles in the life of people today is confusion. The goal of confusion is to cripple the mind of a man, prevent him from achieving the will of God for his life and establish hypertension in him.

LIVING ABOVE FEAR

LIVING ABOVE FEAR                     Matthew 8:23-27 Devotional Verse:- “But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm”  (Vs. 26)      It will be completely impossible to live in the kingdom of God with the spirit of fear (Hebrews 11:6). Fear will only make the power of God at work around you to be withdrawn. The kingdom of God and the spirit of fear cannot work together (II Timothy 1:7). Today a lot of people in church are living with the spirit of fear. That is why we need to learn how to live above fear.

THE PLACE TO RECHARGE

THE PLACE TO RECHARGE                  Psalm 84:1-7 Devotional Verse:-“They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion”  (Vs. 7)      The house of the Lord or the place of fellowship with the children of God is the place of strength. This is because it is in such places that the word of God is being spoken. The word of God says that where the word of a King is, there is power (Ecclesiastes 8:4).

RENEWING YOUR STRENGTH

RENEWING YOUR STRENGTH             Isaiah 40:27-31 Devotional Verse: -“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint”  (Vs. 31)      As a child of God, please understand that your strength for all you may want to do is in God (Job 32:8, John 15:5). Sometimes, you discover that you are getting weak and discouraged. In most cases, the weakness of life often starts from one's spiritual weakness. You may discover that you can no longer pray as you used to. You may also find out that, as you read your Bible and other books, the contents just seem like they are written in Greek language that you cannot understand. At such times, you need to renew your strength.

THE STRENGTH OF LIFE

THE STRENGTH OF LIFE            Genesis 2:1-7 Devotional Verse:- “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (Vs. 7)      God made man in the beginning in His own image and likeness. Since God is a Spirit, it should be clear enough for you to know that man is also a spirit being (John 4:24). If man is therefore going to gain strength, then he must trace his way back to God who is his source.

LIVING A JOYFUL LIFE

LIVING A JOYFUL LIFE     John 15:9-17 Devotional Verse:- "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (Vs. 11)      It's amazing to know that Jesus choose us to love us (John 15:16). He selected us when we were not even aware. He sacrificed Himself on the cross and brought us unto Himself by redeeming us with His blood (Revelation 5:9). What a great love!

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS Luke1619-31 DevotionalVerse:- 'Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham,have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame'."  (Vs. 24)    It is important we understand that there is a demarcation between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of this world which is of the devil. The Blessing of the Kingdom of God comes from God when one obeys Him (Deut. 28:1). But the blessings of the worldly kingdom come with deceiving and cheating one another.

LUKEWARMNESS

LUKEWARMNESS                Revelation 3:14-17 Devotional Verse:- “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth” (Vs. 16)      The nature of the kingdom of God does not give room for lukewarmness. Some people always love to sit on the fence.  They do not want to be close to God or the church, so that they can easily bend with the world whenever they want to. The truth which man needs to know is that, there is no middle way kingdom. A man is either in the kingdom of the devil or that of God.

THE UNJUST STEWARD

THE UNJUST STEWARD               Luke 16:1-9 Devotional Verse:- “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.”  (Vs. 9)      The parable in our Scripture for today teaches us so many lessons. It teaches us that we are stewards. A steward is a manager in charge of a business or an assignment. This teaches us that whatever we have comes from the Lord (Psalm 24:1, John 3:27). For this reason, we must use them consciously in the service of the master.

THE RICH FOOL

THE RICH FOOL              Luke 12:13-21 Devotional Verse: - "And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (Vs.15)      It is amazing to hear that people can be rich and foolish at the same time. It looks contradictory. This is because in our thinking, we expect every rich person to be wise. We often assume that it takes wisdom to be rich. This assumption is quite true but we have not taken time to separate Godly wisdom from worldly wisdom (James 3:13-18).

FOLLOWING CHRIST

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.

AUTHORITY IN THE KINGDOM

AUTHORITY IN THE KINGDOM                Matthew 8:5-13 Devotional Verse:- “For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." (Vs. 9)      As a citizen of the kingdom of God, you must get used to the use of authority. Jesus did not teach us to fight physically but He gave us the authority to fight with. This is because we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (Eph. 6:10-12). This means that we are not just facing physical human beings alone but people moved by evil spirits. This is the reason we must be equipped with the authority of the kingdom of God. So, understand the way of the Spirit.

LOVING AND GIVING

LOVING AND GIVING                John 3:13-21 Devotional Verse:- “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (Vs.16)      Every child of God is saved from the Kingdom of the devil to the Kingdom of God (Col. 1:13). Understanding this puts you at an advantage over the devices of the devil.  Very many people in church today are not aware of this truth. This is the truth that sets you free (John 8:32). This is also the reason you need to give yourself to studying the word of God so as to understand the nature of the kingdom of God.

LOVE YOUR ENEMY

LOVE YOUR ENEMY                  Matthew 5:43-48 Devotional Verse:-"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute yo”  (Vs. 44)      It is important that you realize the great difference between the Kingdom of the devil and that of God. We are born into this world, but through salvation that was given to us by Christ Jesus, we have been transmitted from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light which is the kingdom of God (Col. 1:13).         The greatest attitude of the kingdom was taught by Jesus in our Scripture for today: “We should love our enemies”. Jesus says, there is no difference between us as believers and unbelievers if we only love our friends and those who love us. If you only give to those who will give back to you, then you are not entitled to any re...

FORGIVING

FORGIVING       Matt. 6:9-15 Devotional Verse:- "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” (Vs. 14)      One of the beautiful natures of the Kingdom of God is to always forgive people. This attitude is given to us by the Spirit of God in us. Jesus demonstrated it on the cross of Calvary. He prayed that God should forgive those crucifying Him (Luke 23:34). As a citizen of the kingdom of God, you should not only pray to forgive but you should also be ready to forgive even before offenses come.

WISE AND HARMLESS

WISE AND HARMLESS              Matthew 10:16-26 Devotional Verse:-"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Vs. 16)            It is important you understand that the kingdom of God has an enemy. This enemy is the devil. Truly, since God’s kingdom is the kingdom of light, the kingdom of darkness will always be a contending force. Just as we are standing in for the kingdom of God, the devil has cunningly possessed some people and made them his delegates.

THE FAITHFUL SERVANT

THE FAITHFUL SERVANT                Luke 16:10-13 Devotional Verse:- “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much” (Vs. 10)      A major practice of the citizens of the Kingdom of God is faithfulness. This is because our God is faithful (I Thessalonians 5:24). To be faithful means, to carry out the master’s assignment as we are instructed by Him or by our leaders. An average man wants to argue about every given instruction. Only a faithful servant obeys notwithstanding.

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.

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.
