Ecclesiastes 11:3-10

One of the strongest weapons the devil uses against our lives is sorrow. The most common problem most people have is in ability to have consistent and sustaining joy. The truth is that no one can succeed with sorrow. See, it is the goal of the devil to keep you in sorrow. When you are sad he celebrates. This is because he knows the effect of your sorrow which most of us are not aware of. 

Many things encourage sorrow in the life of a man; some of such are disappointment and discouragement. Some people ignorantly have sorrow because of their bitterness to everyone, even against God and themselves. But you need to know that when you are sorrowful you can’t relate with God for solution. In sorrow, a man’s mental, spiritual and physical system are broken down (Proverbs 15:13). It could easily lead to sickness and death (Proverbs 17:22; 2 Corinthians 7:10). Sorrow chases God away from you because the only atmosphere that will accommodate Him is that of joy (Psalms 16:11). Sorrow brings depression and could lead to oppression. 

To be delivered from the spirit of sorrow learn to renew your hope in God’s word. This you make sure to do daily. Be praiseful, thankful and keep a joyful company (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Keep obeying the Lord and avoid unnecessary heart breaking news (Proverbs 25:25). Then put the things of God first (Matthew 6:33). Philippians 4:8 says that we should think or always allow in our mind things that are true, pure, lovely, and of good report, praise worthy and great virtue. Then God shall restore your joy and your sorrow shall be no more. 

Prayer: Lord, fill me with the spirit 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 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.
