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 ...

GETTING FAITH

GETTING FAITH

Romans 10:13-17
Devotional:- “So faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God” (V. 17)

    It is of great importance that we know that faith is not just confessions. It is not just believing but a fire in your spirit taking from the word of God when you meditate in it.

When faith does not have its source in the word of God, then it is fake and capable of bringing shame. The word of God is the source of genuine faith that cannot fail. The ignorance of this is the reason for the frustration in the body of Christ today. People think they have faith when they do not. The word of God could come to you through someone preaching the word. It could be through reading and meditating on the word of God or reading books written by men of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit from the Word that ignites faith.

To receive faith through the word is not just by reading but by meditating and seeking to know the truth. This is meditating in the word till the spirit of the word jumps on you (John 6:63; John 10:34-35). This is reading with an eye for solution. When your heart has taken faith from the word of God, everyone around you will know. It will generate and transmit strength into your spirit. You will be too ready to disgrace the devil in your situation. No one will need to tell you that you have faith, you will know it yourself. Even the devil will be afraid of you.

Friend, it is time to search the scripture to build up faith that will terminate the challenges of your life. You are already a victor; you only need to take faith from the word and your victory will manifest (1 John 5:4).

Prayer: Lord, deliver the word for my victory to me.

“WHEN FAITH COMES, VICTORY WILL NATURALLY FOLLOW”
