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 ...

TRICKS​​​​

Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 2:3-11
Devotional:- “lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices” (v. 11) NKJV

    Some people always think they can handle the devil without God. I always tell people not to try it. He is far wiser. Your strength for victory is mainly in God. (Philippians 4:13). A major reason we should have nothing to do with him is that he operates with tricks and gimmicks. The devil always tries to come into issues in a subtle way. It was through this he was able to get Eve

Please, understand that you are made and wired to focus and concentrate before you can achieve anything. In the course of focusing, the devil is looking for how to subtly come in to let you slip out of the will of God. The appeal of Potiphar’s wife came as an executive and high status pleasure of sin. But Joseph knew it was the devil and he flee (Genesis 39:6-15). The devil didn’t come through co-staff but through the Chief Executive Officer. Some other people would have felt, you see, she is my director and there is nothing I can do. But Joseph understood the tricks of the devil and he flee.

Friend, watch out for those little carelessness. The devil can always use it to steal, kill or destroy. Don't use long spoon for the devil (1 Timothy 6:11). Then you will keep your strength in God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, make me to be wiser than the tricks of the devil.

Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.
