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 ...

STEADFASTNESS

STEADFASTNESS

Act 2:40-47
Devotional:- “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (v. 42) NKJV

    Today, our decisions to follow the Lord is greatly challenged by temptations of different types. The devil has so much pollute the world that it is so easy to follow the way of sin and unrighteousness. That is why to be an ordinary Christian today is to be no Christian at all. 
 Those who have chosen to be disciples of Christ must be steadfast in following the master. To be steadfast is to be resolute to stand in the will of God even if no body does. To be steadfast is to be firm no matter the intimidation of friends. It is to make up your mind to follow the Lord notwithstanding any situation or circumstances.
 
Frien, your decision to be a disciple of Jesus will be tested by people with negative influences. Be ready to be dishonored to bring honour to the Lord. You must have a strong resolution to remain in Christ whatever the case may be. Choose to close doors to options. Be bold to tell people “If it is ungodly count me out” Remember Jesus has promised to help us by the Holy Spirit that is in us. Stand firm in the word of God and you will be a true disciple of Christ (Ephesians 6:13-14). Peace
 
Prayer: Lord, strengthen me in the inner man to always stand for you

“He that is not standing for righteousness is falling in unrighteousness”

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.
