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 ...

BARRIER BREAKERS

2 Samuel 23: 8-18
Devotional: "So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.” (V. 16)


    As we carry out our work on earth, we are bound to face barriers. These barriers are factors that will want to stand against what we are doing and discourages us from getting our desired results. That is why we must be ready to face them and wear them out. It is because of these barrier that many give up in pursuing their desired dream of life. It could be finances, bad comments or lack of encouragement. This year, those barriers will not stop you in Jesus name.

We read about the mighty men of David. Three of them broke the barrier of the Philistine army to get water for David. You will also break the barriers before you this year and succeed. Whatever is intending to stop you, you have enough energy in God to drive on and to be innovative enough to beat the enemy.

Take time to have a retreat for a redirection of strategy, wait on the Lord in prayer and fasting to renew your strength (Isaiah 40:30-31). Whatever your dream needs, God is able to supply. Don't give in to the tricks of the enemy. Your assignment is what you are made to carry out. Face it and you will prevail at last. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, I receive new energy to face my work afresh in Jesus name.

“YOUR WORK IS YOUR MISSION ON EARTH, FACE IT”

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.
