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 ...

TURN TO GOD 

Hosea 6:1-3
Devotional:- “Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up” (V. 1) NKJV

    Today, it is so challenging to identify who is a Christian. This is because there are so many mixed up. That is why you and I should examine ourselves to check if we are truly Christian. Those who are Christians are those you have turn to Christ for their salvation. All of us are attracted to Jesus by one thing or the other. One thing is to be attracted to Jesus another is to turn to Jesus.

To check your Christian life, you must at one time or the other turns to Jesus for your salvation. To turn to Jesus is to look unto Him as a saviour to save you (Hebrews 12:2).  To turn to Jesus is an act of realizing your sinful life and the consequences of it (Romans 3:23). This makes you see a need to be rescued from the punishment or consequences of sin. You must have realised your helpless experiences in that you want to stop sinning but you cannot help yourself. (Romans 7:18-25). This makes you to cry out in need of a saviour. This is what makes you turn to Jesus for help.

Friend, if you have never turned to Him to deliver you from your sin, you may not be saved. Most people only turn to Him for a miracle but not for their salvation from the power of sin. Turn to Him today and He will give you the ability to overcome the flesh and you will be saved. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the power of sin.

“If you are not delivered from sin, you will not overcome it”.

Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11).

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 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.
