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 ...

PURPOSE OF HIS PRESENCE

PURPOSE OF HIS PRESENCE 

Genesis 39:1-6
Devotional: "The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian” (V. 2)


    We so much love the presence of the Lord, but we need to understand it's purpose. Today, because we don't know the purpose of the presence of the Lord, we are not fulfilling the desires of the Lord concerning us. God is disappointed in many Christians because we have so much allow the work of the devil to be more pronounced in the world than the work of God. The reason God want to be with us is that His invisible glory might become visible through us (Psalm 19:1-3) This will happen as we work or step out with His presence with us.

People of Gerar could see the presence of God in the life of Abraham because of his work (Genesis 21:22). It was the work of Isaac that made visible the presence of God in his life (Genesis 26:16; Genesis 26:26-29). This was also visible in the life of Jacob (Genesis 30:27). The same with Joseph and Daniel.

Friend, God want to prove His presence in your work and result. That is why you and I must work diligently by faith to prove the presence of the Lord with us. The presence of the Lord will always produce favor and promotion when we work with the right motive. Let God show His presence in your life this year. This is by your good work of faith in the possibility grace of God (Matthew 5:16) And you shall be blessed. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your presence speak in my work from now.

“WHEN OUR WORK PROVE GOD’S PRESENCE, THEN THE WORLD WILL TURN TO GOD”

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.
