  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 ...

YOUR MOUTH

Matthew 12:33-37
Devotional: “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. (V. 36) NKJV

    One of the good gift God has given us is the ability to express ourselves through the mouth. This is a major way to communicate our mind to each other in the world. Our words are direct products of our heart (Matthew 12:34). When the soul of people are sold to the Lord, it will sooner or later reflect in their words. That is why the bible says “we shall give account of all the idle words we are speaking. The one in the secret or in the open (Matthew 10:26)

The scripture says “our mouth should be seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6). That is, our words should be always be with grace so that people can be rightly answered. If our mouth will be with grace and seasoned with salt, then it has to start from our soul. Information is always processed in our soul and expressed through our mouth.

That is why it is important that we load out heart with the word of God (Colossians 3:16). The word of God should be our meditation all the time. If we can do this, then our mouth will always speak the righteous words of God. (Matthew 12:34).

Friend, let us mind our words and our life shall reflect God’s glory.

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from idle words

“OUR WORDS ARE DIRECT REFLECTION OF OUR HEART”

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.
