GOOD REPORT

  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...

ATMOSPHERE OF JOY

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 exist. It will therefore be wise for us to understand that joy cannot exist in any life without love. Love is better practically explained in 1 Corinthians 13. And when you can humble yourself to live in love, then you will grow into maturity to enjoy the joy that the presence of the Lord brings. And your joy shall be full.


Prayer: Lord, plant your love in my heart.

“UNTIL THERE IS LOVE, THERE CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED JOY”

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.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.
