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 ...

SEA WALK

Matthew 14:22-33
Devotional:- “So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus” (V.29) NKJV

    Let us understand that with God all things are possible. If only your mind can accept and believe it, then it can be. When the disciples saw Jesus walking on water, they were afraid, they thought He was a ghost. But Jesus quickly told them “It is I, be not afraid’ (Matthew 14:27). And now when Peter knew it was Jesus, he demanded that Jesus instruct him to come. Jesus commanded him to come. And he stepped out towards Jesus walking on the sea. As they both were walking on the sea, Peter later began to look at the sea, he removed his eyes from Jesus and began to sink. Jesus had to rescue him.

Any time men hear the word of Jesus, they do the unusual because faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Friend, it is the revealed word of God that bring inspiration to you and whenever you are inspired you can do anything.

Notice that there were some factors responsible for the miracle, Jesus commanded Peter to come on the sea and Peter focused on Jesus, and was not afraid (John 2:5; Hebrews 12:2). As soon as he lost focus on Jesus, Peter became afraid, and he began to sink.

If only you can keep your eyes on Jesus, and not on your circumstances, nothing will be impossible for you. Don’t walk on the sea for show but if you find yourself in that situation, refuse to sink. And Jesus will sustain you.

Declaration: This year I am riding above.

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.
