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 ...

INCREASED HARVEST

Scripture Reading: Psalms 67:1-7
Devotional:- “Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us” (V. 6)

    When people have a seed to sow, they are happy because they have the expectation of a coming harvest. But sometimes people are disappointed that the harvest does not match their expectation. This is because the enemy destroys the process of their harvest by planting weeds into their wheat. The harvest here could mean all good expectation.

A powerful weapon of increase of harvest is praises. When a Sower is praiseful, the word of God says the ground will yield her increase for him/her. This is because the presence of the Lord will be with the seed and the ground must give her best (Psalms 65:11).

Man has no power over germination and increase of harvest. We can do our best to add fertilizer but God determines the state of the harvest (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). Friend, to start seeing increase in all areas of your life, you need to bring the presence of the Lord through praises (Psalms 22:3). And your path will have abundance (Psalm 65:11). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, launch me into increase as I praise you daily.

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.
