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 ...

JEHOVAH-NISSI

Exodus 17:8-16
Devotional:- “And Moses Built An Altar, And Called The Name Of It Jehovah-Nissi” (V. 15) KJV

    It has always been there from time immemorial that some people don’t just want others to prosper. They are ready to be a hindrance rather than a support of success. They always get annoyed when others make progress. They easily become embittered and think of going to war against others. Such are the Amalekites.

They just suddenly become embittered against the sovereign act of God in the life of the Israelites. And they decided to constitute a hindrance to their progress to their promised land. So, they engage Israel in a war. God is always fighting greatly for His people. So, the Amalek were defeated. Your enemy also shall be defeated. But God instructed Moses to keep the record that contrary to the former plan and by current happening the Amalek shall be wiped out of history. And Moses erected a sign there and called it God our banner, which means the sign of our strength and victory.

God is also your sign of victory. If not that the Lord is on your side, where will you be today (Psalm 124:1-3)? This banner is always showing on you, your house and your belongings. That is why your life should be known to be a no-go area for the enemy. You must learn to see this banner there always. And your victory will keep getting established. And the enemy will no longer enter your territory.

Prayer: Lord, be my banner of victory.

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.
