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 ...

FAITH

FAITH       

Romans 1:8-17
Devotional: -“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."" (V. 17) NKJV


   
One of the strongest energy of the Spirit is faith. A man operating by the Spirit of faith is a man of possibility. The word of God says, if we can believe, all things are possible. (Mark 9:23). Faith is the strength of the Spirit produced by the word of God. It is the strength of the Spirit that can move you to carry out the plan of God on the earth.
 
   The word of God says “the just shall live by faith” Which means without faith, Christianity will be a mockery. Through faith, people are justified before God (Romans 5:1). The word of God says people are saved by grace but it is through faith (Ephesians 2:8). At salvation the level of faith in people gives them access to salvation because of the grace of God. People can only enjoy the blessings of Abraham through faith (Galatians 3:13-14). It is the Holy Spirit that move people to be able to believe God and without faith they will not be able to achieve the plan of God for their lives (Philippians 2:13).
 
   Whenever people merely receive the word of God and it does not produce faith in them, it will not profit them (Hebrews 4:2). We receive faith when the spirit in the word is released into our spirit (John 6:63, Romans 10:17). That makes you to be restless till the plan of God is executed in your life. By faith Moses confronted Pharaoh, like facing the president of a nation to command him to let Israel go. By faith, they pass through the Red Sea because God said they should. Friend, when faith is at work in you, all things become possible. Peace.
    
PRAYER: Lord, let your faith be released for my freedom.
