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 ...

WAITING ON GOD

WAITING ON GOD

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40:25-31
Devotional:- “But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint” (v. 31) NKJV


   Another factor of strength in God is to always wait on God. To wait on God is to acknowledge or always refer to Him for direction in all your ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). This is an act of allowing Him to lead you in all you are doing. This is because we know that He will not lead us into trouble (Isaiah 48:17-18). To wait on Him, as a waiter, is to allow Him to direct our ways (John 8:28; John 5:30).

The word of God tells us that God gives strength to those who are weak. That means that if you are weak in any area of your life today, that does not qualify you for failure. God is able to give you strength. The word of God informed us of how to tap into the strength of God when ours is exhausted. This is by waiting on the Lord.

It is therefore important for us to know that the spirit of the mighty God is in us. But we must cultivate the habit of asking Him for direction always. He has promised to always lead us to our victory (Psalms 32:8). To depend only on your mind in all situations may not always be work. Your strength is restored anytime He gives you instructions. This is because His words are powerful and it releases powerful energy of the Spirit to your soul whenever it is released (Ezekiel 2:2; Hebrews 4:12). To overcome in any situation we need to ask Him for what to do and you shall receive an answer that will strengthen you to overcome (Psalm 119:07-100). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always acknowledge you

“ANYTIME HIS WORD COMES, STRENGTH IS PRODUCED”

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.
