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 ...

DRINKING FROM THE SPIRIT        

John 6:60-71
 
Devotional Verse - “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (V. 63)
 
Fellowship is the act of drinking or mixing with the same spirit. Man by nature need to know that he is a spirit and when we fellowship, we share the spirit in us. You drink of mine, I drink of yours (Philippians 2:17). This is possible because we are fellowshipping together.


As Jesus was teaching, He told the people that except they eat His body and drink His blood, there will be no life of God in them (John 6:53-56). Because of this revelation many turns away from following Jesus. But that is the truth. Whenever we are fellowshipping with God, we are drinking of the spirit of God and anytime a man fellowship with the ungodly, he is drinking with the same spirit with them (Proverbs 11:30).
 
Friend, this is the power of fellowship. It is far more than ordinary gathering. It is a divine fellowship for a divine union. This is the reason people behave like the people they keep fellowshipping with. That is why you must mind where you fellowship, so that you don’t unite with a wrong spirit.

Prayer:  Lord, give me to drink from your Spirit.

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.

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.
