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 ...

CHILDREN OF VICTORY

1 John 5:1-5 
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (V. 4) 

    Everyone born of God i.e. born again is born into victory. That is the reason your victory is an inheritance. Jesus has fought and won for you, all that remain is that you take your place as a child of victory.

God who made the heaven and the earth created man to govern the earth for Him. That is why He commanded us at creation to take charge of the earth (Genesis 1:28). Your opponent is the devil and his host. God knows that the devil is the deceiver that is why he’s able to deceive Adam and Eve to sin against God and make them lose their estate. God knows someone born of man needs to fight and win and then give us victory. The is the word of God (Genesis 3:15). That is why He sent Jesus to undertake this task (1 John 3:8). Jesus defeated the forces of the devil and we are born again into this victory (1 John 5:4).

Friend, the reality of our victory is in Christ Jesus. That is why each of us will need to take responsibility by faith to challenge the forces against us. Don’t give in to defeat; as a child of God, your family is destined to overcome; your business will bounce back, your ministry is ordained to win. Don’t stay defeated, your victory is perfected, take strength from the word and win.

Prayer: Lord as a child of victory I refused to be defeated.

‘You are born again to win, arise and take your place’.

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.
