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 ...

SORROWFUL COMPANY

SORROWFUL COMPANY       

Isaiah 51:9-16
Devotional: -“So the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness; Sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (V. 11)




    It is important you learn to overcome what destroys a praiseful life and a major one is sorrow. The sorrow of the heart is caused by many factors, part of which is hopelessness (Ecclesiastes 9:4), and sorrowful company. Everyone you will ever see on earth is a product of the people they associate with. A praiseful life demands a praiseful company.


   The word of God says, the ransom of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing, the word of God says everlasting joy will be on their head. They shall obtain joy and gladness. Their sorrow and sighing shall flee away. This is the company of joy. It is at Zion, that sorrow is terminated. So, be careful not to play with the house of the Lord. That is the house of praises. The devil will do everything in this end time to remove people from the church, be careful.

   Friend, anything that get you offended from the church of Jesus cannot be of God. It is of the devil. Do not desert the house of God because it is your joyful company (Hebrews 10:25). Don't associate where God’s presence will not be, this is going to take the praises of God from your life. You should learn to distance yourself from a sorrowful company. And your life shall be full of the praises of God in Jesus name. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to be a victim of sorrow any more.

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

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.
