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 ...

YOUR OFFICE

Ephesians 6:6-9
Devotional: "with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,” (V. 7)


   Remember the purpose of your working is that God might be glorified (Matthew 5:16). That is why your work must be good enough for the glory of God. Every kingdom citizen should be mindful of this. Our work in the office must not bring shame and dishonour to the Lord. Thank God for the salary, but your purpose in that office is far bigger than that.

The scripture we read today is very instructive on how we should work in our offices. Firstly, is that our work should be unto the Lord. That is, we are representative of God in that organization and it is on to the Lord we should be responsible. That is why we must submit to men in the fear of God (Ephesians 5:21, Colossians 3:22).That is why your take home pay must be more than salary.

Secondly, we are instructed to serve not with eye service but a heart service. That is, doing our services with all enthusiasm. Putting our best into the work to provoke the blessings of God on the work and our lives like Jacob in the house of Laban (Genesis 30:30). Working with our mind and taking initiative for innovation. Not allowing discouragement but serving with joy. Hereby creating the atmosphere for the presence of God in that organization. Interceding for her progress by the Spirit of unity in the office. Then, heaven cannot fail to reward us. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make me a pace setter in my office for your glory.

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.
