  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

  GOD’S BLESSINGS Proverbs 10:14-24 Devotional:- “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it” (v.22) NKJV God, in his goodness, have been so gracious to the sons of men in this season, and many of God’s children are beginning to enjoy the blessing of the Lord. This is God’s faithfulness. If you have not entered into your portion now, it shall come. It is important that we understand that these blessings can only be preserved when we disallow the seed of sorrow to come into them. The scripture we read today says, “it's only God’s blessing that is void of sorrow”. This means when we allow God to be our source, our joy is guaranteed. It means dubiously seeking a blessing will produce sorrow. We should be careful not to crave for money and employ wicked means to attain it. Such is a seed of sorrow (Proverbs 15:27). Please refuse to join those who are cheating, stealing, killing and doing all sorts of things today to get money. Such is not a blessing but a cu...

  JOY OF HARVEST  Isaiah 9:1-7 Devotional:- “You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil” (v.3) NKJV Seasons of harvest are one of God’s means of bringing joy into the lives of His people. So among the types of joy, there is the joy of harvest. That joy is coming to be in your life, business and ministry this year. The season of sowing is not always an easy time for many who have not understood the mystery of sowing. So, such a season will always look painful for them. Sowing does not only apply to farmers or givers, but also to all who are pursuing their goals and projects. God’s word also confirms the pain of sowing time and also establishes the joy of harvest (Psalm 126:5-6). That simply establishes God’s promises for you in the remaining days of the year. It doesn’t matter how long you have been sowing without reaping; now your harvest shall come. Some have been sow...

  JOY DEFINED II Corinthians 3:7-18 “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (v.17) NKJV The reason many don’t always experience or retain joy is that they don’t really understand what joy is. We sometimes relate it to laughter, but this is not so. Laughter is only one of the components of joy, and there are others, such as freedom or a free system. To define joy, you will need to first understand that it is the product of the presence of God (Psalm 16:11). That is why it is not equal to happiness that is caused by a happening or an event, but joy is a result of an indwelling Spirit of God. Happiness is temporal, while joy is an abiding Spirit. Our scripture today taught us the meaning of joy. It is simply a released heart, and this is brought by the Spirit of God. It is a heart free from all manner of bondages. Loose yourself from all manner of bondage of condemnation. It is a way of opening up our hearts for the peace and rest in God to ...

  ATMOSPHERE OF JOY John 15:5-17 Devotional:- “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (v.11) NKJV For anyone to swim in any atmosphere, he must first create it around himself. The truth is that it is the atmosphere you create around yourself that truly exists with you. For anyone to have the atmosphere of joy, one of the things that the atmosphere must be composed of is love. Some partners work together with joy, and one of the strongest of them is love. Jesus said we should love one another that our joy may be full (John 15:10-17). So, it means what gives maximum joy is love; this is because God himself is love (1 John 4:7-8). God’s word says that in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). It therefore becomes impossible to want to have joy in the midst of hatred. So many people who have faced a crisis at home will always want to go out to a joint, wanting to feel happy and secure joy. Such joy does not...

  VOICES OF MERRY Jeremiah 30:16-22 Devotional:- “Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small” (v.19) NKJV It is amazing to see how the world is multiplying in sorrow. The proceeds of the heart of men today are sorrow. Daily, we hear news of sorrow. Evil things are daily befalling the sons of men. There is hardly a day without the news of sorrow. Strong nations are becoming victims of sorrow. The enemy seems to be growing stronger to afflict the world. It is important that you realise that this world is simply experiencing the event of the end time. What you need to know is the plan of God for you and your family in the midst of the many sorrows. And that is what God is speaking about in the scripture that we read today. Instead of sorrowful news the world is experiencing, He said Out of you shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them ...

  SORROW TURNED JOY  John 16:19-24 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, Sorrow may endure till a night, but joy will always come in the morning (Psalm 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 night comes, morning is always the next as God has covenanted it (Genesis 8:22). 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 to your joy. You will see your joy. The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope for our lives. Jesus said our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall surely become a thing of joy. Jesus liken it to a woman in a l...

PROMISES OF JOY Isaiah 55:6-13 Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (v.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers is promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque left that can be turned into cash. So when people who loves us give us promises, we cherish them. And when we remember them, it gladdens our hearts. We often feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One terrible thing that is common with men is failed promises. These, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises and make man look like a deceiver. But God is not like man. He will fulfil all that He has promised you. No matter what the case may be, His word will come to pass. Who will say that Sarah will bear a son to Abraham at 90 or ...

EVERLASTING JOY  Isaiah 35:1-10 Devotional:- “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (v.10) NKJV      If you will receive this word by faith, it shall be yours forever. “From now on, you shall experience everlasting joy” Everlasting joy is the joy that will last till eternity, this is the joy of salvation (Psalm 51:12). The fact is that we live in a world with seasons, and these seasons come and go. They have made life unstable for many who live by the seasons. But the will and the promise of God concerning your life is that you will keep having unending joy. Now your sorrow shall flee away, then you will start to obtain joy.

ANOINTING OF JOY Isaiah 61:1-6 “To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified” (V. 3) NKJV      You must realise that you are not created for sorrow. The atmosphere in heaven is always one of joy; heaven is not a place for sorrow. From the beginning, we were creatures of joy. He that created us cannot make us for sorrow. It is a pity that a greater percentage of the time of man is full of sorrow (it was not so from the beginning). This is definitely a result of the enemy stealing the joy of man and giving him the yoke of sorrow.

  NATIONAL JOY  Psalms 126:1-6 Devotional:- “When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream" (V. 1) NKJV When a nation turns to God, there comes a time when they experience national deliverance, restoration and joy. The nation can move into its national joy. Our deliverance and restoration shall be like a dream. Those who don’t wish the nation well because of their selfish profits shall be put to shame. This nation shall be delivered from darkness, lack and stagnancy. God’s spirit shall take over the heart of our leader, and they shall no longer hate our progress. The curses that make this nation suffer in plenty shall be broken, and a sudden wind of change shall blow over the nation. As children of God, take time to pray and claim God’s promises for this nation today with your family (Psalm 122:6). The people who used to be in darkness shall see a great light (Isaiah 9:2), and all who love this nation shall prosper. Peace! Prayer: Lord, we spea...
