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 ...

CHOOSE YOUR SIDE

CHOOSE YOUR SIDE     

Titus 1:10-15
Devotional:- "To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled” (V.15) NKJV

    The word of God told us the measure of great things God can do (Ephesians 3:20). He can do great and mighty things to anyone and everyone but there is a clause in this scripture. It talks about a power at work in us, which determines the extent to which God can work in individuals. Know that your needs are small to Him (2 Chronicles 14:11). You are the one that limits the extent of His manifestation in your life.

There are two sides to life: wrong and right; good and bad, rich and poor, evil and good. Where you are is your choice. In Luke 16:26, Abraham tells the rich man that heaven, and hell are separated by a big fixed gulf, so he cannot cross over. So also, light and darkness cannot co-exist. What you therefore find happening to you in life is a matter of what you allow in your thinking and imagination (Psalm 23:7).

Friend, it is what you allow in your mind that fills your life. You can’t mix it: Someone believes he can be sick once in a while another believes he cannot be sick at all. These things are fixed. Some believes in lack and others in prosperity. It is what you keep imagining that you will keep having. Some always imagine evil and the power of the devil. Their daily songs and prayers are all about the enemy. See, this is a choice of ignorance (Hosea 4:6). To stop being afraid of cockroaches, lizards, etc., you need to believe in the word of God for your victory. This is by meditating on the word daily. Don’t be part of those who keep praying and being tormented. Always see God all around you. See all that God has given you as pure and good. I speak freedom into your life in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from self-bondage.

“THE STRONGEST BONDAGE IS THE ONE YOU PUT ON YOURSELF”.
