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 ...

SECRET PLACE

God's Hour of Truth "It All Begins In The Secret Place Part 2 08 ...Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:5-15

Devotional: : “ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (V. 6)

To have effective time in the presence of the Lord, you need a secret, solitary or secluded place. These are places you can be all alone with God (Matthew 14:23). The reason this is important is that, you are not disturbed. To be able to focus on God demand that we are not distracted. Until you can focus, you cannot get to God. 

The word of God therefore instructed us to stay in our room, shut the door and pray in such secret place; Jesus said that secret prayer will be answered openly. In other words, people will hear our testimony. This is the power of focusing in His presence. Jesus taught us in this scripture to know the importance of being private with God and not hypocritical or trying to do a show up. Whenever you are talking or thinking, you are transmitting through the wavelet. Others looking at you make them block your wavelet with their thought or talking against you. That is why it is better private, earlier in the day or later when others are far asleep.

Friend, you cannot enjoy the presence of God with show up mentality. This is an attempt to impress people. That way, God will no longer be involved. Since it is men we want to please. It is the main reason we must be sincere and open with God (Matthew 5:8; Psalms 24:4). Anyone who practices such hypocrisy has no reward from God (Matthew 6:16). Your privacy with God matter so much to Him. It is in doing that, that you will have the best of His presence. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a pure and sincere heart

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
