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 ...

WORDLY VIEW

Luke 12:13-21
And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” (V. 15)

    The view of the world is to just get the materials. So, very many people who don’t have the inner ability have gone terrible just to get these materials. That is why many parents now buy certificate for their children. People now have to organize robbery. These are because our idea of success is focused only on materials. Friend, materials are only to assist us to succeed, they are not our success. Our success is the ability to succeed which is an internal quality, the composition of our heart, then we shall be successful.

As we live in this world, there are some goals that are important for us to achieve. If we don’t achieve them it will look like a discouragement and frustration. For example a man must of necessity get married and have a good home. A man need to build a place for his family to stay. A man must think of a means of transportation for his family to freely move around. The purpose of all this is to assist us to carry out our assignment on the earth. Jesus said a man have beautiful harvest. Instead of him to give thanks to God and prepare to be a blessing to others around him, he saw himself at the climax of life. This got God angry at him and his soul was demanded that same day. What is now his profit in all he has done? He was called a fool at the end.

Friend, congratulations for all you have been able to achieve. But it is important you know that they are a means to an end and not an end in itself. God made you for a purpose. That purpose is the reason you are on the earth. So, there is a need to define the purpose. Your purpose can be identified only with the one who made you. Take time out to seek His face. Then He will reveal His purpose of your creation to you. You then need to organize to pursue and fulfil your purpose of been on the earth. This is when you are truly walking in the path of success. May God not be angry with you. You will fulfil your destiny in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to identify and fulfil my destiny

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 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.
