JOY

  JOY John 16:16-24  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 when sorrow endures till a night, joy comes in the morning (Psalms 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 a night comes, morning is always the next. 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 the joy. May you see it. The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope in our lives. Jesus said, our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall suddenly become a thing of joy. Jesus likens it to a woman who is in labour. Women in this state often feel as if the end has come. But ...

BEHOLD HIS GLORY

Behold His Glory: John 1:14-18Scripture Reading: John 1:6-14
Devotional: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (V. 14)
One of the ways to have a quality time in the presence of God is to learn to behold the glory of the Lord (Exodus 33:17-19). Whenever you are personally in His presence, His glory will always overwhelm you. This is very important because the devil don’t want you to have a time in the presence of God. Therefore, the way he can discourage you is by making you to see fearful and negative things. The devil knows that the moment you start to enjoy the presence of the Lord, you are free from him. That is why you must bring the scripture alive through imagination.
The word of God described Jesus as glorious and Apostle John described Him the glory they saw (Luke 9:29). That the exact thing King David was talking about when he said “he set the Lord before him” (Psalms 16:8). The disciples saw Him on the transfiguration hill and they saw His glory (Luke 9:29).
Friend, you need this scripture to help you when you want to be alone with Him. Beholding His glory makes all your mountains to disappear even when you have not prayed (Psalms 97:5; Micah 1:4). That is why the disciples said, they cannot but talk about it (1 John 1:1). They have seen His glory. From today, you will start to see the glory of the Lord. All your mountains will melt away in Jesus name. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, open my eye to always see you glory around me
“WHAT YOU’VE SEEN IS WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED”
