PURSUE PEACE Hebrews 12:12-17 Devotional:- “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” (v.14) NKJV Some people don’t know that a peaceful relationship is in their best interest. They do not know that it is ignorance to be wicked and be in conflict with others. Little do most people know that a peaceful relationship is basically good for their health and well-being. That is why a peaceful man will live long in health. God’s word teaches us today to strive to attain peace in all our relationships with others. The Bible doesn’t say we should try to do that, but it says we should strive. This is because it may not be easy. Man, as a social and emotional being, cannot help but relate with others. We often finds constraints in doing so because of our differences, which can lead us to offend one another; we often find it tough with some people. Notwithstanding that, the Bible commands us to pursue peace with everyone so that we don’t block our access ...

SERVING WITH JOY Deuteronomy 28:47-52 Devotional:- “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything” (V.47) NKJV A greater percentage of people do not know what stops their glory. They just suddenly discover that things just stop working out for them. In their ignorance, they accuse God and the devil for their predicament. You need to know from now that one of the things responsible is when people don’t serve with joy. People are always in haste to expect reward for their service. When it looks delayed, they begin to serve with grudges in their mind. God told the Israelites that if they did not serve God with a joyful heart, they would serve their enemy. This is actually too grievous, but men are also not always understanding. Something in us always looks so high that we don’t see what the Lord is doing, but we will always see what he has not done. This makes it difficult to serve with joy. Many are wounded by their delayed ex...

  LIGHTEN YOUR BURDEN I Peter 5:6-11 Devotional:- “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (v.7) NKJV Until a man truly learns the act of offloading the garbage of his life experience, he cannot experience the true life of joy. The truth is that joy and worry cannot co-exist. When the heart of a man is heavy, he cannot pretend to be happy. That is why he will need to lighten up always. In our scripture today, the Bible teaches us about casting our cares upon God. Our cares are things that burden our mind, which strongly hold our hearts with sorrow. These are in most cases, the challenges that we face. The way of escape the Lord has made for us from such a trap is to cast our cares on Him. This is simply by believing in His care for us and by the same faith committing those challenges to Him in prayer. After which, by faith also we receive our liberty for joy. Be aware that needs will always come to create burdens on us. That is why you must let the system of joy flow ...

  LIVING IN PURPOSE Proverbs 19:20-29 Devotional:- “Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand” (v.21) AMPC. Our God is a God of purpose. He does all things for a purpose, and He will do nothing for nothing. Everything we see in this world has a reason for existence; even the ant and the mosquito have a reason for their existence. If there is no purpose for them, they will not be created. The beauty is that everything will enter into their season of joy when they locate their purpose and stay in it. It is important that you come to know that you are created for a purpose. You also need to know that it is only in fulfilment of your purpose that you can experience great joy. It is as sweet as when a nut finds the right screw and they just fit perfectly. It is as if a door finds the right key and it opens easily. Also, life can be smooth and become interesting when you locate your purpose and walk in it. Please understand that God’s purpos...

  SPIRIT OF JOY Galatians 5:16-26 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness” (v.22) NKJV For all men to experience an ever-flowing joy, we must first possess the spirit of joy. God is the source of joy. When He is in a man, He brings His joy along (Psalm 16:11). Since God is a Spirit, He can only be with men by dwelling in them. When the spirit of God dwells in a man, he will experience unlimited joy. One of the most neglected exercises in the church is people receiving the Holy Spirit. Most Christians look for one excuse or the other to neglect the Holy Spirit in their life. Sometimes people feel the Holy Spirit is not that necessary. Some people feel it is an old way of following the Lord. But you need to know that if you lack the Spirit of God, God’s word says that you are none of His own (Romans 8:9). Friend, it will be wisdom for you to set aside time to ask and be filled with the Spirit of Christ. When you are filled wit...

PRESENCE OF GOD  Psalm 16:5-11 Devotional:- “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (v.11) NKJV As good as joy is, one of the greatest tasks of joy is sustaining it. So the world always finds it difficult to sustain. Many cannot even experience it for more than two hours per week. This is because they have not located the source of joy. As a believer, you need to know that joy is a product of the presence of God. Wherever God’s presence is, our scripture today says joy will fill the place. It means the oxygen and the hydrogen of the atmosphere of God are joy. So you cannot be in His presence and not know joy. No wonder David said he is always glad when it is time to go to the house of the Lord. (Psalm 122:1). To experience the presence of the Lord, you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and then His presence will be within you. You also need to believe that He is with you according to His word.
