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 ...

GRATITUDE

Devotional:- “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” (V. 18)

        One of the great weapons to help you to retain your strength in God is gratitude. This is because ingratitude reduces the strength of man. That is why it is often said that gratitude is the mother of altitude. Gratitude strengthens you with peace sufficient enough for progress. It makes God approves you for your next level in life.

This is because the person who keep thanking God for what He has done and for what He is doing is humble. This will make him to keep seeing the opportunities around him. Such will always enjoy divine strength for progress in life (Habakkuk3:17-19)

This is an area most people don’t care about that has not allowed them to be strong in life for progress. Ingratitude is a product of pride and arrogance and it can stop the flow of grace for strength from God. It blocks good thinking and close the door to mental light. That is why ungrateful people draw on their own strength not on the strength of God. So, frustration and sorrow are not far from them.

Friend, humble yourself to always see God good. That you can even read or listen to this devotional means God is good to you. That you slept and woke up shows His mercy (Psalm 3:5). That you are alive mean you are privileged (Psalm 150:6). Then God will perfect all things concerning you. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, Give Me A Grateful Heart.

“GRATITUDE WILL ALWAYS PRODUCE ALTITUDE.”

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 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.
