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 ...

PURSUIT OF VISION

PURSUIT OF VISION

Genesis 12:1-9
Devotional:- “And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the Lord” (V. 8)


    Faith is pursuing your vision. It is directing your energy or passion in the direction of your conviction. It is putting in your best to pursue a goal. Remember, faith does not make things easy but it makes it possible. The reason people fail is that they pursue their goal and soon give up. Faith is staying there till it works (Hebrews 6:12).

In our scripture today, the Bible show us the life of Abraham who received a promise from God and moved by faith. Because of this act of faith, today, we have a nation called Israel after the name of Abraham’s descendants.

Friend, don’t just pursue, but pursue by faith. Faith is when you hear from God and act in obedience. You must wait on Him to receive a word. Then you will have the assurance that your pursuit can not fail. This will make you put your entire life into it. Most people move from vision to dreams and to another idea. The reason why Africa is not developing is that most people are not willing to spend their life pursuing a certain goal. Most people’s goals is money, so they move about. Be planted in your pursuit when it is commanded by God. Then your life will be a life worth living. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, help me to be focused in life

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.
