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 ...

THINKING     

Philippians 4:2-9
Devotional:- “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.” (v. 8)


   Thinking is part of the assignment God has given to man to exercise in. He has given us a mind that can think. So, as a man, we are a thinking machine. A major reason we are better than the animal is that our thinking is higher than theirs. Nothing can be made happen good or bad without thinking. Men who don't think don't rise. Sometimes, we think in split of second and sometimes we need a quality time.

Thinking is an act of engaging your mind to reason, analyze, calculate or organize your plans into action. How intelligent a man will be in thinking is determined by the quality of information he has given himself to. That makes knowledge seeking so important. A great man will always give himself to thinking (Gen 24:63). Any time you observe an obstacle or a barrier on your way, all you need is thinking through the way out. 

There are things that mere prayers will not do for you. After you have prayed, you need to allow the Holy Spirit to guide your heart to productive thinking.  Those who give themselves to prayers without engaging their mind will end up in frustration. There is a need for you to know that the two works together (Ephesians 3:20). Thinking without prayers will also have little result. When people lack knowledge, their thinking will be narrow. Learn to worship God and ask for the help of the Holy Spirit whenever you need a help. He will show you the way out. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to locate solutions to issues of life in thinking.

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.
