Friday 29th April 2022 Devotion
Scripture:- James 5:16-24
Topic:- Always Rejoice
Na wa oooo….Satan visited me and asked me: “How far?
I told him: “I thank God for everything.”
He laughed me to scorn. He said what on earth should I thank God for?
He showed me my mates who are living inside mansions, and I said hahaha!
And I showed him my mates who are also inside the grave…
He showed me some of my mates who are inside the costliest cars in town…
I also showed him some of my mates who are inside the costliest caskets in town…
He showed me the fat Bank account of some of my friends…
And I showed him the Hospital bills of some others who are terribly sick…
He took me to boutiques, to show me those who are dressed in the most expensive designer clothing.
I took him to the Prisons and Cells scattered all over the country!
And I showed him guys who were accused innocently and who have been there for many
years…
Even their loved ones have forgotten them there…
Satan felt broken and wanted to leave me alone.
But I told him to follow me to just one place…
I took him to the Mortuary and I now showed him many of my mates who are lying down there naked and dead.
He could not say anything again. He left me and ran away.
Friends, don’t let anything get you depressed.
You are not a mistake, you are not an accident no matter what has happened to you or how bad you think you are faring in life.
There is always something God is doing in your life that your enemies are envying…
You can’t withdraw your own money from your Bank without your ATM card or Bank slip…
The Bible said that with joy we shall DRAW from the wells of salvation…
There are many things to draw from God and thank Him still for in your life… JOY is your ATM card.
Without JOY, you will draw nothing. That is why Nehemiah, in the midst of battles, was able to say: “The joy of the Lord is my strength…”
Beloved God might not have done everything. But He has done many things.
If only you know how much evil and shame the Lord has spared you from since conception you will appreciate God for what you are today.
To him that is joined to the living, there is hope… A living dog is better than a dead lion.
Be thoughtful, be thankful. David understood this and he said… “If it has not been the Lord who was on our side, they would have swallowed me up quick when their anger was kindled against us. But our souls as a bird has escaped the snare of the fowler…”
Today, if you are really grateful just share this chat
and let others know that it’s true that God has shamed the devil in our lives
Remember what you are today is not the final.. God is preparing something bigger, always…… Rejoice!!!
Prayer Point:-
Oh Lord God, help me to always rejoice in You henceforth, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Happy Weekend! www.timogundelejesu.com
