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 ...

COMFORT

Scripture Reading Isaiah 40:1-5
Devotional:- "Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, That her warfare is ended, That her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received from the Lord's hand Double for all her sins." (V. 2) NKJV

    Anyone who lives by the inspiration of God will always be a comfort to others. His words will be rich to the hearer. Not because of his qualification, but because of his connection to the Holy Spirit. A rich word is the one that offer you information to help you out of a situation or guide you to progress.

Our connection with the Holy Spirit helps us to become a comfort to others. This is because the Holy Spirit knows the intent of the heart of men (Hebrews 4:12). Most people will never tell you what they are going through. Even, when you want to help them, you don’t know how. But the Holy Spirit knows all things.

The Holy Spirit wants to use you to comfort others but you cannot do that on your own alone (John 15:5). Learn to ask Him for what to say to people always. You will suddenly become someone people like to hang around. You will also find comfort as you comfort others. You will become an instrument of encouragement to many. Discouragement is one of the strongest weapons to destroy man. Don’t just speak anyhow again. Don’t just speak like people use to speak. There are too many people around you in need of encouragement and God wants to use you. Let all your word be a blessing to someone. God will make you a comfort in Jesus name. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, use me to encourage the discouraged around me.

“COMFORT IS A KEY TO LIBERATE A PRISONED HEART”.

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.
