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 ...

POWER OR CHANGE

Philippians 4:1-8
Devotional:- “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (V.8) NLT

    Nothing can change in your life until the change commences from your heart. Changes from within will always give birth to outward change (Matthew 12:35). The key to change is always in the hand of men and the key is the choice of what we give our heart to thinking. If you choose to change your thinking pattern, about people, situations, and all about you, then your change has commenced.

In the scripture we read today, is a lesson on how to bring about our change. This is by limiting our thinking only to the pattern of God’s word. For this to be possible a man needs a total renewal of his mind. This is possible by daily bathing in the water of the word of God meditatively (Romans 12:2, John 15:3). God’s word can cleanse our mind if we wholly give ourselves to it with the meekness of the heart (Ephesians 5:26). Whatever you meditate on will be printed in your heart finally. Limit your thinking to what the word of God instructs and you will stay positive in all situations.

This is not the natural way to think but the grace of God will strengthen you. The truth is that, if you can change your mental focus you have changed your life. Receive grace.

Prayer: Lord, give me a new heart to think in a brand-new glorious way

“IF I CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND, I CAN’T CHANGE YOUR LIFE”

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.
