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 ...

ACTION    

Isaiah 60: 1-7
Devotional:-“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you” (v. 1)


    Wisdom is wise action. No action, no wisdom. Talking is not equal to wisdom. Until there is a good result produced by our actions then, it is not yet wisdom. This is because wisdom is identified by its good result (Matthew 11:19). A major step that separates failure from success is action. Action does not mean automatic success but continuous wise action does. 

One thing that the devil doesn’t want the children of God to do today is wise action. So, he does all in his power to discourage people from acting on their dreams, ideas or desired goals. He knows that the moment there are continuous wise actions, he cannot stop achievements. That is why you and I must not allow discouragement of any kind to stop us. No matter how good a plan or an idea is, it is action that will make it a reality. Observe that miracle follow those who act and not those who sleep at home (Mark 16:17).

Friend, if the devil can get you sleeping, eating and playing, he has really gotten you. That will end a man up in poverty and failure (Proverbs 3:6-11). Do you have a song to sing then go on and sing it. Do you have a building drawing in your mind, then act fast. Do you have a vision or an idea, then pick a paper, put up a line of action and step out. Delay is dangerous. Publishing this book for me is an action. Stop waiting for a perfect weather, tomorrow might be late. Receive direction and act. The book of act of the Apostles is full of actions and not just plans of the apostles. Even in little strength, keep acting. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, I receive strength to arise.

"NO MATTER HOW GOOD A PLAN IS, IT IS ACTION THAT GIVES IT SUCCESS"

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.
