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 ...

EMMANUEL

EMMANUEL

Matthew 1:21-25
Devotional:- “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us” (V. 23) NKJV

    The greatest trouble of man is the ignorance of whom he is. From the day human understanding wakes up to their proper identity in Christ. Their life of the challenges we face today will amount to nothing if only we believe the word of God about ourselves. If we know who we are in Christ Jesus, many things that terrify us will not be able to move us nor even gain our attention.

In our scriptures today, the Bible refers to Jesus as Emmanuel. This name interprets something great. Your understanding of this name will make the enemy tremble at your presence. The name Emmanuel means “God with us." It means God has come to dwell in us. You must try to imagine God’s greatness. In my imagination, I often try to size God in the likeness of the size of the sky. Who can measure the sky? Who knows where it ends? It has never been discovered, nor can it ever be. The scientists call it the ever-expanding sky. This is because the more you travel in it, the more you can’t see the end.

If God created the expanse of the sky, which accommodates all the big stars and covers billions of galaxies as discovered by scientists, then how big will this God be? Friend, He will be too much to measure. I often call Him unlimited God, He is in all things. When we sometimes measure the devil with God in our songs and thoughts, I laugh. It is not a matter of competition or trying to race. It is more terrible than comparing a grain of sand to a mountain. So also, are all your challenges? They are too small to stand by God. And as great as God is, do you know that He is now inside you with that greatness (1 John 4:4, I Corinthians 3:16, Romans 8:31)? Can you imagine how great you are? And the forces of heaven and earth are afraid of you. Wake up! You are mighty.

DECLARATION: THE ONE IN ME IS FAR GREATER THAN ANY CHALLENGES AROUND ME. I AM TOO MUCH.

“IF THE ALMIGHTY IS IN YOU, YOU MUST BE MIGHTY.”

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.
