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 ...

THANKING HIM

THANKING HIM

Ephesians  5:15-21
Devotional Verse - “giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (V. 20)

    A major way to fellowship with God continually is to keep thanking Him. This is because He deserves it. Looking into the goodness of the Lord, you cannot really exhaust the reason for thanking Him. It is in the time of thanksgiving that you have quality fellowship with God. The Holy Spirit always helps us in giving thanks to the father.

The word of God says we should give thanks always for all things. In other words, we should not stop giving thanks for all that the Lord has done for us. This does not mean you cannot do other things anymore but rather; you keep thanking God even with what you are doing. Remember, gratitude makes God see you mature for your miracle. Thanking God for what He has done qualifies you for the next miracle.

All it demands is that you keep a heart of gratitude. Keep thanking the Lord over everything He has done and the ones you trust Him to enjoy. Declaring "Thank you Lord" as you do your work is great. “Lord, I am so grateful” "You deserve my praises" "You re the Almighty God" "You are my sufficiency" These are more of prayers of thanksgiving that constantly connect you with God in fellowship. While others are cursing themselves, please thank God and you will keep increasing. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a thanksgiving heart

“A THANKSGIVING HEART WILL KEEP EXPANDING FOR MORE”

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.
