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 ...

QUALITY WORK

QUALITY WORK

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:8-17
Devotional:- “each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is” (V. 13) NKJV


    It is important that we keep it in our heart that our labour is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58). There is nothing anyone does for God that will not be rewarded, if it is done faithfully. Knowing that God will surely reward us calls for effectiveness, persistency and faithfulness. 

The word of God told us that the foundation of all we are called to do is Christ. Nothing should be added or subtracted from Jesus. So that our work can be rewarded. The Bible says “we should watch what we are building on the foundation. Someone may be building gold kind of work; others may be building at the silver level, others as precious stones while others as wood hay or straw. 

Friend, let us build quality service in God. Let your work not be likened to hay or straw or grass when others are building with gold. All of this talks about the quality of our work before God. This quality is determined by our commitment and loyalty to God, our persistency and faithfulness. Stop looking at man to serve the Lord. From today start to give quality services to God wherever you are. Your reward will come in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to continue faithfully

“EACH MAN’S WORK WILL BE TESTED”
