Joy at His Success
Listen
Transcript:
Greetings in Jesus Name! The Lord is close to you, He is near to the brokenhearted and those who are desperate for Him. When we are intentional about our intimacy with Him, He is faithful towards us. The more we live for the glory of God, the more we grow in humility. We must develop an attitude of considering others better than ourselves.
In the scriptures, John had been ministering for longer than Jesus. In John 3:29, it says, It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom’s friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success. John says this because he wanted to glorify Jesus as he had a revelation of who he was. As John had an understanding of what Jesus purpose was for, he celebrated Him.
We can only humble ourselves before people only after we know what they are in spirit. Share on XTrue honour comes is when we see others the way God sees them. We must them in our spiritual realm as we are judged by the past in the physical realm. As in the spiritual realm, we can see what God is truly capable of in their lives.
Let us constantly be prayerful with others and rejoice in how they are going to celebrated by God. The reason jealously, envy comes is because we do not understand the concept of spirit-filled honour.
We don’t honour based on what we see but honour based on what we see in the spirit. God is calling us for a lifestyle with the celebration of someone’s life.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
