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 ...

HUMILITY TO CONNECT

HUMILITY TO CONNECT

Scripture Reading Psalms 25:8-15
Devotional:- “The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way” (V. 9) NKJV

    If anyone is not humble, such cannot regularly connect with the Holy Spirit for inspiration. The word of God says pride goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). The reason a proud man will fall is because, there are many things our physical eyes cannot see or that man do not know. It takes humility to be guided out of any trap.

You are too precious to fall. So, you cannot degrade yourself to the level of pride. A proud man is belittling himself by subtracting the presence of God from his activities. So, he will be working or talking with mere head and human limitations, errors, mistakes etc, and this will soon bring shame to him.

 Friend, you cannot descend that low. You are not made to live without God. (John 15:5). Wisdom demand that you allow Him to be part of all you are doing and by all, I mean all (Psalms 23:6; Proverbs 3:5-6). This is wisdom (Matthew 7:24). No matter your degree, fourth or seventh, you are limited in understanding. You are prone to error. Don’t be too forward. Humble yourself to ask Him to help you in all things. Then, you are out for wisdom. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always recognize my place in you.

“YOU ARE TOO PRECIOUS TO BE PROUD”

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.
