DCLM Sincere Milk 2 March 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — It will be worth it
TOPIC: IT WILL BE WORTH IT
BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 14:1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
KEY VERSE: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me” (John 14:1).
MESSAGE:
Friends of Jesus at times are troubled because of the bad or negative things they are experiencing at the moment. Cheer up, Jesus is talking to you in our Bible passage.
Do not allow your heart to be troubled because of failure, poverty, persecution from unbelievers, pandemic, fear of tomorrow and whatever may be happening around you. When we get to heaven and see Jesus, we will forget all the pains we went through in this world. Imagine Jesus holding your hand and you wearing that beautiful crown, then God saying, “Well done my child”. Oh! What joy that would be. We will see Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Apostle Peter, and other people in the Bible we have learnt so much about. All of these and many others would be worth more than whatever you might have to suffer for being a Christian in this world.
As a friend of Jesus, pray for a pure heart, make up your mind and daily ask for grace to obey God in all things. Very soon, you’ll discover that when you get to heaven, it is worth more than everything.
PRAYER: O Lord, give me grace to endure and stand for righteousness till the end.
FURTHER READING: John 16:33
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
