JOY IN THE CITY

    JOY IN THE CITY Acts 8:1-8 Devotional:- “And there was great joy in that city” (v.8) NKJV Another powerful producer of joy is Christ in your life (Colossians 1:27). Christ can change our sorrow into joy. He came to set us free from the power that caged us in sorrow. He came to give us the key to joy. Many have not come to know that having Christ in their life is not just about going to church. The truth you need to hear is that when you give room to Christ in your life, you have given room to joy (Luke 2:10). The scripture we read today is the report of what happened to the city of Samaria. They accommodated Jesus Christ in their life, and God’s word reported that there was great joy in that city. The confusion is that there are many in church today without Christ; they have confessed Jesus Christ as their Saviour, but they don’t have room for him in their heart.

UNITY

UNITY

Devotional:- And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them” (v.6) NKJV

    A trick of the devil the church must come up to overcome today is the spirit of division and self-centeredness. The body of Jesus has to come up with the understanding that the diversity of the gift and ability of the Holy Spirit is not for division but for unity, edification and to build a strong body of Christ that will be stronger than all devices of the devil.

Unity is a strength ordained for the church. That was what the people building the tower of Babel were tapping into. God’s word calls it an anointing [Psalm 133:1-3] Your family needs that anointing, your business needs it, and your local assembly needs it.

The church must be very careful of disunity. The moment someone have a little light or some gift, he thinks he will need to go and stand alone. But such will soon discover that he is not self-sufficient. This is how the body of Christ has not been able to evangelize the world today. Devil tricked the church into division by the gifts.

Friend, except otherwise instructed, stay in your local church with your gift. It’s never going to be easy. Wherever you find people, you are bound to find misunderstandings. But don’t let that make you detach yourself from the house of God.  As the church live in great strength of God shall be available through the church to the world. Peace!
