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 ...

ABSOLUTELY HOLY

John 17:6-11
Devotional:- “And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep in Your Name [in the knowledge of Yourself] those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We [are one].” (V.11) AMPL

    Our God is holy. He is absolutely holy. Sometimes when we hear the word 'Holy' we get scared. It looks like an unreachable level for man. It scares us like God’s presence scares the Israelites on Mount Sinai. And to some people, it means God is unapproachable for them. So for this reason they keep off the house of God. Even in the church when it is time for Holy Communion Some people try to escape simply because of the word holy. Thank God for light.

But do you know that it means God is a righteous God? To be righteous is to always stand in the will of God in every situation. This means He is a faithful God that will always be right. He will not promise and fail (Isaiah 40:28). You simply need to understand, that this attitude of God is for your blessing. It means Holiness. He has a perfect attitude. There is no evil in Him. The wickedness of the world will not change His plan for you (Proverbs 19:21). That is why God's word is asking you to also be holy (1 Peter 1:15-16) So that you can also be a sure blessing to your world. It is as you yield to His calling to be holy that you can enjoy the  best of God (Isaiah 1:19).

Do you know that His holiness is the guarantee for your success and victory? Even when you are not firm His word stands firm. God’s holiness is what guarantees your future. The enemy cannot turn it down since God is Holy, He will fulfill His promises. You just be sure you are obedient to His word. And at last, His holiness will take you there.

Prayer: Lord, help me to enjoy the blessing of God’s holiness.

“GOD’S HOLINESS IS THE GUARANTEE FOR YOUR SUCCESS”

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.
