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 ...

John 8:31-36
Devotional:- "And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” (V. 32) AMPL

    Knowledge is not just knowing but having a light (Psalms 119:130). So, knowledge is light. And when light comes darkness must depart. Many people today are in the bondage of darkness but the cure is light. This light is the light of the word of God (John 1:9). This is because the word of God is the truth (John 17:17). Other books are books of human discoveries, but the Bible is the word of God. So, it is the knowledge of the truth that sets us free from the darkness of life.

Some Jews surrounded Jesus and among them were their teachers. He knew the level of ignorance that had kept them from believing the word of God. So, He said to them, when you know the truth, you will be liberated from the darkness that darkened your understanding. But because they could not see in their mind what Jesus was saying, they never even knew that they were in any bandage. It is horrible when a man does not know that he does not know.

Friend, your knowledge of the truth is what will make you stronger than all lies of the devil. Whatever may be entangling you in life, the knowledge of the truth has the power to make you stronger than it. And then you will gain your liberty. All you need to do is to be willing to let the Holy Spirit teach you the truth through God’s word. Cherish the word of God from now and you shall be victorious.

Prayer: Lord, reveal the truth of your word to me for my liberty
