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 ...

METICULOUS

METICULOUS

Scripture Reading: John 6:5-14
Devotional:- “So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost." (V. 12) NKJV


    The act of being meticulous is a singular act that will always differentiate between the rich and the poor. This is one of the important attitude of life to become master over money. To be meticulous is to take extreme care in treatment of details i.e. little, little money. These are details of your capital, net, gross income and your savings. There is a very strong need to be meticulous because big money is gathered gradually and can be destroyed gradually (Isaiah 28:10). That is why those who love pleasure will be poor (Proverbs 21:16-17).

Jesus, having fed five thousand, He is still meticulous enough that they should gather the remnants. Do you know that a little here and a little there, they gather another twelve baskets full of bread? That is enough to feed the disciples and their family for two or three weeks.

Friend, there is no one created to be poor but we waste too many things with wrong financial attitude. If you sit down to calculate how much you spend in a month or in a year, you will be shocked that it will run to millions. Your spendings on call cards, transportation, soft drinks, gifts, shopping, funtime etc are in million every year. Someone else will sit down, do the calculations and cut each of them for savings. That way, you will be shocked of what you are saving. It's time to wake up. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be disciplined to care for little, of money

“GOD GIVE EVERYONE, BUT ONLY THE METICULOUS CAN BE RICH”
