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 ...

THE QUALITY SEED

THE QUALITY SEED            

Read: Luke 21:1-4
For all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had” (Vs. 4)

    The quality of a seed is evident in the richness of its fruits. In the kingdom of this world, we celebrate those who give big gifts but that is not so in the kingdom of God. In the kingdom of God, the quality of your love determines the quality of your seed. You can see the quality of the love of God in His willingness to give His only son (John 3:16). That was His all.
     Jesus was in the temple and people were giving their offerings. Jesus comment that those were giving big offerings took it from their fat account. A widow brought what looked small to man but that was all she had. To God, when you give your all, you have given your best. No one wants to accept a 70% marriage but a 100% marriage.
 
    Friend, stop reserving your strength to serve the Lord. Abraham gave his only son, Isaac. Hannah gave her only son, Samuel. They all bagged greatness in God. Be willing to give your all into anything you do for God. 99.999% is not comparable to the best. Give your heart and life totally to God. Don’t divide your offerings or tithes so that you can get the best of God. It is your day!
 
Prayer: Lord, help me to give my best to You.
 
“ONLY THOSE WHO GIVE ALL CAN EARN THE BEST FROM GOD”

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.
