SUCCESS YOUR PURPOSE 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing” (V. 8) NLT When a person turns to the Lord, invite Jesus to his/her life, and surrender to Jesus as Lord and saviour, then he/she sincerely becomes a Christian. This is the state many in the church has not attained. Many struggle to surrender their lives to the Lord because they are afraid of failure, not able to trust God to give them success, and their love for the things of this world (1 John 2:15-17). When you sincerely surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your view of success cannot but change. Apostle Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful” (2 Timothy 4:7). When you start to live for God, your definition of success will change from materials to purpose. Liv...

ANOINTING OF 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.

That is why the Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Christ has come to give an anointing of joy instead of mourning and sorrow. It means from now on, your sorrow shall be over. Anointing of joy breaks the yoke of sorrow (Isaiah 10:27). The oil represents the virtue or the power of the Spirit of God. The yoke of sorrow is the trouble that the sorrow of life has brought into your life. I see the yoke of sorrow broken away from your life from now on in Jesus' name.

For this very reason, Jesus came to anoint you with oil of joy. Christ means the anointed one, and He is now dwelling in you. One of the anointings He brings to you is the anointing of Joy. All you need to do is to believe God’s word that says Christ, the anointed one, is in you (1Cor 3:16), and your faith will start to say ‘No’ to sorrow, for the Lord has anointed you for joy for the remaining days of your life. Joy shall be your lot. God has set you free from sorrow, and now He shall encompass you around with joy. If you can believe, it shall be so, and your joy shall have no end. Welcome to your season of joy.

Prayer: Lord, anoint me with the oil of joy.

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.
