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 ...

WORK SMART

Scripture Reading: Psalms 127:1-5
Devotional:- “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain” (V. 1) NKJV


    Working is a major task that God has given to everyone on the earth (Ecclesiastes 3:10). Working is a medium of releasing the energy in us to achieve something. Work is a demonstration of our gifts and talent. Work is what we employ to solve all problems. Work makes us earn value before people.
It is important to know that you can earn more value not only by working hard but by working smart. To work smart is to labour with thinking. It is to learn how to identify your goal in all you do and employ your thinking to achieve it faster and better. Working smart is said to be identifying what move you forward and mastering it. Working smart make you work to achieve more than others at a given time.

Let us therefore give ourselves to working smart to earn more in life. To work smart may include you developing more skill to improve your output. To work smart, we may need to get more exposed on our work and businesses to become more productive. Working smart includes not just working for a pay but employing your money to also work for you. This is by investing it in a profitable venture. Be careful not to keep relying on your income or salary today. It can stop when you don’t expect. Seek for where to invest. Stop been afraid to take a risk (Ecclesiastes 11:4). Throw your bread on many waters and not in one place, then you will find it later (Ecclesiastes 11:1; 5-6). It could involve connection with people that could make you better. Your future shall be better than today in Jesus name. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, make me a smart worker in my life.

“THE SMARTER YOU CAN WORK, THE BETTER YOU WILL BE”

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 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.
