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 ...

BLESS THE LORD

Psalms 103:1-10
Devotional:- "Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits". (V. 2)

    Every day of our life, God expects us to always be grateful to Him. This doesn’t mean that we don't have challenges, but because He is in control of all situation of our life. (Daniel 4:25b). All things cannot but result to His glory in your life at last (Romans 8:28).

Sometimes on such day like today, the enemy may not want some people to appreciate God for all He has done for them. This is because the enemy makes us to easily forget the things God has done for us and make us see more of what He has not done. So, most people sometimes ask: what has He done for me? But it will actually be wonderful to be wise like David. He said, “Forget not all His benefit” (Psalm 103:2).

You need to look back into the year and remember how He has preserved you and your family from all evil. How He has not allowed sickness to destroy you and your family. You need to remember how He has satisfied you with good food this year, how he delivered you from debt, how He did not allow the enemy to laugh at you. He has not allowed the wicked one to succeed over you. He preserved your sleeping and waking up in peace and put the devil to shame at last. He preserves your going out and coming in. Please take time to bless the Lord over your spouse, children and all around you. Then, you are set for a more fruitful New Year in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for all the good things you've done for me

“IT IS ONLY A GREAT FOOL THAT WILL NOT BE GRATEFUL"

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.
