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 UNSTOPPABLE KINGDOM

THE UNSTOPPABLE KINGDOM       

Read: Mark 4:30-32
But when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” (Vs. 32)

    There is no power or force that can stop God. So, His kingdom operations are unstoppable. If anyone tries to stop the kingdom of God, such will have to stop living (Luke 20:18). That is why as a citizen of the kingdom of God, you are unstoppable.
 
    Jesus likened the kingdom of God to a small seed called the mustard seed. Though the smallest of all seeds, when it is sown, it soon become a great tree that all birds want to take solace in. The seed of God is His word and His spirit (Mark 4:14). I call it the Spirit of the word (John 6:63, Ezekiel 2:2). Wherever the word of God is, there will be possibility and greatness. Jesus also gave a parable of the sower and great were the fruits (Luke 8:4-8).
 
    Friend, the seed of God to greatness is His word. When the Spirit of the word comes upon you, anything you embark on will prosper. This seed makes you operate at the realm of God. It also makes you bigger than all barriers (John 10:34-35). This is a rhema from God. The Spirit of the word comes upon you as you wait on God in meditation on the word and in prayers. (Isaiah 40:31). When a seed is of God, it will surely germinate, succeed and soon become great (I John 5:4; Matthew 16:18-19). Keep speaking the word into your situations because it is unstoppable. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, make me enjoy your unstoppable grace.
 
“WHEN THE WORD IS ALWAYS IN YOUR MOUTH, THE RESULT WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT”
