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 ...

SAVED TO WORK

Ephesians 2:1-10
Devotional: "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (V. 10)


    The first church experienced great power of God. The Holy Spirit worked mighty things around them. But they so much enjoyed the fellowship of each other and were staying regularly together, eat together and possibly lived together. Not too long, God had to orchestrate persecution against them for the purpose of scattering them (James 1:1; Genesis 11:8). They had to work through many places and take the good news to the end of the earth through their good works. 

As believer today, we should realize that we are saved, recreated in Christ Jesus for the good work for which Christ saved us. True believers are the ones who are manifesting the glory of God through their lives and day to day activities.

Friend, the salvation of your soul has brought you out of darkness to stop representing darkness, but light in your deeds not just in claim (1 Peter 2:9) God expect you to work in His will that you may be the manifestation of His beauty and glory. So many things God has provided that it is as we work it out that it will manifest (Hebrew 11:40). It's time to rise and take over that office and business by working in divine instructions. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, let your good work begin in my life from now.

“ONLY THOSE WHO CAN WORK TO PROVE THEIR SALVATION WILL NOT LOSE IT”

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.
