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 ...

MADE FOR PRAISES

MADE FOR PRAISES

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 43:16-21
Devotional:- “This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise” (V. 21)

    It’s important you realize that you are made to praise the Lord. In other word, God created you for His praises. He made you to be your best as you praise Him all the days of your life. It is in praises that we are able to overcome the limitations of this world and by praises we are able to connect with the supernatural for our testimonies in this world.

The word of God says we are formed to show forth the praises of God. We are to see this in different dimension. God made us to enjoy His best as we engage in praises. Whenever we become praiseful, God can connect with us, God can pour Himself into us, Man and God can work together (Acts 16:24-26). It is as we praise God that God can join in the battle of our lives. It is as we are praiseful that our case can turn out to be a testimony.

That is why we must not allow anything to hinder our praise life. The enemy will always want to confuse us to be sorrowful. He will always make us feel that God is not good to us. The truth is that parents are always good to their children. The same is God to us. All we are passing through are to turn to His glory at last (Luke 21:13). So, braze up. Don’t allow what you are passing through stop you from getting to where you are going to. Your case shall turn to testimony in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be praiseful notwithstanding.

“ONLY IN PRAISES YOU CAN FIT INTO YOUR PLACE IN LIFE”
