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 ...

REPLACING LIES

REPLACING LIES      

John 8:37-47
Devotional:-“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (v.44) NKJV


    One of the characteristics of maturity is our ability to replace lies with the truth. Growth is gaining strength to overcome the forces contending with us. These forces often present lies to us as truth and in the course of this lock us into fear and intimidation of doubt. It is in this mess that man is weakened and defeated.
    To grow above this intimidation of the devil, we must grow in learning the truth of the word of God. So, when he tells us the lies that we are going to die or fall, we should remind him of what the word of God says. I shall not die but live to declare the praise of God. (Psalm 118:17) God will uphold me with His right hand of righteousness and will not let me fall (Isaiah 41:10) It is our ability to stand firm in the truth in our heart that show us strong. 

That is why you must study to load the word of God into your heart. (Colossians 3:16) You must build your heart firm in faith of the word of God. It is the revelation of the word of God that builds faith in us. It is faith that makes us victorious over contending forces (1 John 5:4). Arise and locate the scripture for your freedom. The devil is a liar, don’t let his lies destroy your health, home, businesses and fuure . Resist him with the truth and he will flee from you (1 Peter 5:8-9). Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, make me strong by the truth of your word.
