IN GOD WE CAN REJOICE

One thing I know today is that, the world cannot give you joy. The social, political-economic atmosphere is not looking promising to make us rejoicing. As recorded in Galatians 5:22,  a major fruit of the Holy Spirit is joy. After love is joy. The more you grow in love with God the greater you will see reasons to rejoice continually in Him. If you are constantly feeding on the word of life and you have patiently discovered the promises and pronouncements of God concerning your life, you can’t but be filled with joy. The word of the Lord forms your basic step to unending seasons of joy. As you partake in the word, you will grow your life with the Almighty and the fruits thereof will set you rejoicing all your life. Remember joy will never come from the happenings around your life. You can only locate unending joy when your life and destiny is totally immersed in the ocean of God’s word.

In Jeremiah 15:16, the Bible says, Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. Have you discovered that you are also called by name of the Lord? That’s the reason why the names that people are calling you contrary to God’s arrangement can never make sense in the spirit realm. So, don’t ever groan in sadness over the mockery of your foes. The more the world mocks you, the greater God will be busy making the best of you. Get your day started with reasons to rejoice, create time to worship God and be glad knowing that your tomorrow is far greater than what you are seeing today. The Bible says, Jesus Christ in you in the hope of glory. Let the glory be revealed and your joy will be on the increase in Jesus’ name.

Prayer; Father, you are my source of unending joy. I will always seek your face.
