  JOY OF HARVEST  Isaiah 9:1-7 Devotional:- “You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil” (v.3) NKJV Seasons of harvest are one of God’s means of bringing joy into the lives of His people. So among the types of joy, there is the joy of harvest. That joy is coming to be in your life, business and ministry this year. The season of sowing is not always an easy time for many who have not understood the mystery of sowing. So, such a season will always look painful for them. Sowing does not only apply to farmers or givers, but also to all who are pursuing their goals and projects. God’s word also confirms the pain of sowing time and also establishes the joy of harvest (Psalm 126:5-6). That simply establishes God’s promises for you in the remaining days of the year. It doesn’t matter how long you have been sowing without reaping; now your harvest shall come. Some have been sow...

  JOY DEFINED II Corinthians 3:7-18 “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (v.17) NKJV The reason many don’t always experience or retain joy is that they don’t really understand what joy is. We sometimes relate it to laughter, but this is not so. Laughter is only one of the components of joy, and there are others, such as freedom or a free system. To define joy, you will need to first understand that it is the product of the presence of God (Psalm 16:11). That is why it is not equal to happiness that is caused by a happening or an event, but joy is a result of an indwelling Spirit of God. Happiness is temporal, while joy is an abiding Spirit. Our scripture today taught us the meaning of joy. It is simply a released heart, and this is brought by the Spirit of God. It is a heart free from all manner of bondages. Loose yourself from all manner of bondage of condemnation. It is a way of opening up our hearts for the peace and rest in God to ...

  ATMOSPHERE OF JOY John 15:5-17 Devotional:- “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (v.11) NKJV For anyone to swim in any atmosphere, he must first create it around himself. The truth is that it is the atmosphere you create around yourself that truly exists with you. For anyone to have the atmosphere of joy, one of the things that the atmosphere must be composed of is love. Some partners work together with joy, and one of the strongest of them is love. Jesus said we should love one another that our joy may be full (John 15:10-17). So, it means what gives maximum joy is love; this is because God himself is love (1 John 4:7-8). God’s word says that in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). It therefore becomes impossible to want to have joy in the midst of hatred. So many people who have faced a crisis at home will always want to go out to a joint, wanting to feel happy and secure joy. Such joy does not...

  VOICES OF MERRY Jeremiah 30:16-22 Devotional:- “Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small” (v.19) NKJV It is amazing to see how the world is multiplying in sorrow. The proceeds of the heart of men today are sorrow. Daily, we hear news of sorrow. Evil things are daily befalling the sons of men. There is hardly a day without the news of sorrow. Strong nations are becoming victims of sorrow. The enemy seems to be growing stronger to afflict the world. It is important that you realise that this world is simply experiencing the event of the end time. What you need to know is the plan of God for you and your family in the midst of the many sorrows. And that is what God is speaking about in the scripture that we read today. Instead of sorrowful news the world is experiencing, He said Out of you shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them ...

  SORROW TURNED JOY  John 16:19-24 Devotional:- “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy” (v.20) NKJV God’s word says, Sorrow may endure till a night, but joy will always come in the morning (Psalm 30:5). This is an assurance and evidence that what is called sorrow is not a permanent situation in the life of a child of God. This is because it is certain that when night comes, morning is always the next as God has covenanted it (Genesis 8:22). The night is evidence of the coming morning. This is evidence that what you are going through right now will soon result in joy. In fact, the tougher it is, the closer to your joy. You will see your joy. The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope for our lives. Jesus said our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall surely become a thing of joy. Jesus liken it to a woman in a l...

PROMISES OF JOY Isaiah 55:6-13 Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (v.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers is promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque left that can be turned into cash. So when people who loves us give us promises, we cherish them. And when we remember them, it gladdens our hearts. We often feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One terrible thing that is common with men is failed promises. These, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises and make man look like a deceiver. But God is not like man. He will fulfil all that He has promised you. No matter what the case may be, His word will come to pass. Who will say that Sarah will bear a son to Abraham at 90 or ...
