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 ...

A HUNDRED FOLD

A HUNDRED FOLD           

Read: Mark 10:29-31
Who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time - houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions - and in the age to come, eternal life (Vs. 30).


    The kingdom of God is a kingdom of covenants. A covenant is a legal agreement sealed by blood. One of the reasons Jesus shed His blood was to seal up the word of God for the benefit of all believers (Heb. 9:16-18). One of such covenants which believers have in the word of God is a hundred fold covenants.
 
    Jesus says, whatever is sown to the Lord and His kingdom will come back in a hundred fold. This is an assurance to give us rest of mind whenever we obey Him. A Hundred fold is a 100% return. It’s not common to find a sure business of a 100% return in this world but that is our heritage in God. It’s an everlasting covenant. It is not the type that will change with inflation or economic recession.
 
    That is why you should let your faith in God make you give with joy. (2 Corinthians 9:7). Give bountiful offerings and sow your tithes with joy in anticipation of God’s blessings (2 Corinthians 9:6). If God has been faithful from the ages past, He will be faithful even now and to the end. Your reward will surely come in Jesus’ name. Peace.
 
Prayer: Lord, let my reward come
 
“IN GOD, NO SOWING IN FAITH IS LOST”

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.
