THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past. God is starting a brand-new thing with you. He is giving you new experiences of success and breakthrough. You need to lea...

SORROW TURNED JOY

 

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 labour room to deliver her child. A woman in this state often feels that the end has come. But when the child is delivered, it is like the beginning of another life for both the mother, whom God has blessed with a baby and the baby who has been successfully brought into the world.

It means a challenging season you are going through is about to bring an unfolding miracle of joy. All you need to do is to wait and don’t complain (1 Corinthians 10:10, Job 14:14). Faithful is He that has promised (Hebrews 10:23). And that is why no situation should break you down because you will always break through to a new joy after every situation. Your sorrow is turning to joy from now on in Jesus' name.


Prayer: Lord, turn my sorrow experiences to joy.

“SORROW IS A CERTAINTY OF A COMING JOY”
