– The God of Joyful Returns

Scripture:
“Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.” – Psalm 126:6 

Reflection

Psalm 126 ends with a promise: every tear-filled journey of sowing will end in a joyful return. No matter how long the night, the morning of rejoicing will surely come. This verse reassures us that God does not just see our going out—He guarantees our coming back.

The return is not empty-handed. It is loaded with sheaves—bundles of harvest, testimonies, answered prayers, and breakthroughs. God never allows His children to sow in vain. He is the faithful God of joyful returns.

Your story will not end in sorrow. You may have walked out with tears, but you will come back with songs. You may have gone into the field weary, but you will come home with testimonies. This is God’s promise for those who trust Him in the waiting season.

Life Application

  • Rehearse your future testimony—speak as though you already carry your sheaves.
  • Encourage someone who is still in their sowing season. Remind them that the return is guaranteed.
  • Keep your eyes on the God of returns, not the tears of the present moment.

Prayer

Father, I thank You because You are the God of joyful returns. I believe my season of rejoicing is near. As I have sown in faith, I will return with songs of joy and harvests of abundance. Let my life become a testimony that encourages others to trust You. Amen.

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
