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.

Acts 12:1-11
Devotional:- “Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church” (V. 5) NKJV

    Prayer is a means through which we communicate our mind to our God. And God is a God that answers prayers. Some gods cannotThey don’t talk, hear or move. But our God does answer prayers. No matter where you may be and no matter how silent your voice may be, yet God answers prayers.

In the scripture we read today, king Herod made himself available to the devil and began to kill the Christian leaders. This he was doing to gain acceptability before the Jews. When the church did not pray he successfully killed James and he kept Peter for the next slaughter. Then the church began to pray. And God sent His angel to release Peter from prison. It was a miraculous event.

Friend, God still answers prayers He said to call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not (Jeremiah 33:3). God promises that when we call on Him He will always answer us. Jesus said whatever we ask the Father in His name He will do. Why don't you create time to pray about your challenges by faith in God's grace and mercy? And you will witness His miracle-working power.

Prayer: Lord, give me a heart for prayers.

“THERE IS NO GOD THAT CAN ANSWER LIKE GOD”
