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 MIND OF CHRIST

THE MIND OF CHRIST      

1 CORINTHIANS 2:6-16
Devotional:-“For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.” (v.16)


    The mind of Christ is a mind that has been regenerated by the blood and the word of Christ (Heb. 9:13-14; 2 Cor. 5:17). When we give our life to Christ, repent of our sins and confess Jesus as our Lord and saviour, then the Holy Spirit takes over our spirit man (1 Corinthians 12:3). This is when the mind becomes a Spirit-controlled mind. 

God's word says, a carnal mind or religious mind cannot receive the truth of the word of God, because they are foolishness to Him (1 Cor. 2:14) but a mind of Christ is able to access the revelation of the word of God by the Holy Spirit in him. These are believers who can access and release new ideas that will cause a positive change in their character (1 Cor. 2:9-10). This mind is always motivated and creative to excel. It is a mind controlled by the Holy Spirit. 

Friends, there are things that eyes have not seen, nor hears heard, nor have entered into the thought of men that God wants to unfold through you as a citizen of His kingdom. Every mind is influenced by the spirit in them (Job 32:8) That is why, by the help of the Holy Spirit you should not be helpless. A major assignment of the Holy Spirit is to make you a wonder to your generation through your thinking. This, you will step into as you regularly fellowship with the Holy Spirit in worship and worship. Your fellowship becomes strong with the Holy Spirit as you meditate in the word of God (Psalm 119:97-109; Joshua 1:8). You should always separate yourself for a time to receive instruction from God for divine wisdom (Matt 7:24). Then you will be operating the mind of Christ. Peace!

PRAYER:  Lord, give me a thirst to fellowship with you 

"THE MIND OF CHRIST WILL ALWAYS OPERATE THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE"

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.
