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 ...

LIVING POSITIVE

LIVING POSITIVE 

Genesis 45:1-13
Devotional:- “But now, do not, therefore, be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.” (V.5) NKJV

      Many of us have not come to the truth that God meant business when He created man. So many still look at life as a joke but few have begun to take their place in destiny. I see you joining the great people in Jesus' name.

God has earlier revealed to Joseph that he will be a ruler even over his brothers. Yet for many years it was not looking like it. To worsen the case, he was constantly hated by his brothers. They hated him deeply from their heart but the bible never recorded a time of grievous reaction from Joseph. He was a comported man. The brothers threw him into the pit and sold him as a slave to the Egyptians. None of these moved him. He believed in his dream that he would become what God had destined him to be notwithstanding his challenges. If they had left him in the pit, he would still be great, they were ignorant of this (Genesis 37:20).

People may be doing anything to you but you must be positive about yourself. Don’t let that bug you. Joseph became great because he was positive and not moved. If your situation always determines your mood, you have been conquered by it. When he made himself known to his brothers, he handled the situation well by not complaining. He had always known that they could not stop him from achieving his dream.

Friend, no one can stop you, take your place in faith and be mature. Stop reacting to situations unnecessarily. You will achieve your dream.

Prayer: Lord, help me to refuse to be trapped by situations.

“YOUR REACTIONS ARE TRICKS TO TRAP YOU, WATCH OUT”

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

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.
