If there is something married couples need more than anything, it’s the ability to remain joyful in the midst of intense financial pressures, emotional pressures, and marital issues.
As husbands and wives, you have to learn how to laugh always and stay in rejoicing mode! Take a look below at a three-minute video and understand why you should keep on laughing!
The scripture used above says
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. HE THAT SITTETH IN THE HEAVENS SHALL LAUGH: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psa 2:1-4 (KJV)
The pressures that show up in marriage can be overwhelming! One of the ways to handle these pressures is to maintain your joy!
Jesus made efforts to keep us joyful. He said so many things to us just to keep us in that state of joy.
He said here in His word:
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Joh 16:24 (KJV)
Here, He said we should ask. Rather than allow that marital situation to drive you into some sad mode or regrettable mode, Jesus tells you to ask, and you will receive and your joy will be full.
God wants you excited and laughing and rejoicing.

Confession For Today
Oil For Today – Day 124
Today, I see God. In all that concerns me, I experience God. The presence of God will not depart from my life. In my relationship/marriage, I see the help of God. Help in my finances. Help in my business/career. Help over the labor of my hands. God will satisfy me early. He will show up for me early. Help will not be far from me. I will not be stranded today. I receive “on-time help”. I receive help in time of need. As I trust in God, I will not be moved. I remain steadfast and unshaken in faith. My faith will not fail me today in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Being joyous is a decision. It is not something that comes upon you. It is not a gift. It is not the reserve of some certain people. It is a decision that you must make in other to joyfully walk down the aisle.
Is it because you have not been found or you haven’t found as the case may be? That would not be enough reason to look sad and miserable. Decide to be joyful.
Years ago, in a revelation, God showed me a certain lady who was depressed most of the time. Do you know where this lady was sitting in that revelation?
She was in a pit. Deep down, sitting down and downcast. Moreover, the pit was dark. Extremely dark.
Did you miss out on yesterday’s devotional, we’ve got you covered. Kindly go HERE. For KHC video Devotionals, kindly go HERE
Now the question is how will this lady even be found by any man in that position? Can you see the plans of the devil? It was thoughts of not been found that led her into depression and then the pit. Now, she is even more in a place where it is more difficult to find her. Which man will locate a lady in a dark pit?
This is how the devil plans and keeps God’s people bound! But you cannot be bound! We are not ignorant of the devices of the devil.
You’ve got to make up your mind and declare, “I refuse to be miserable. I refuse to yield to the strategies of the evil one!”
Decisions! It is a decision you must make, dear people of God.
The reason you are not joyful is not that you are not married, the reason you are not married is because you are not joyful.
Really? Do you know why? Because the joy of the Lord is your strength.
With that joy, you will procure the dividends of salvation.
You must not allow anybody or anything to steal your joy!
God bless you, have a great day.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I choose to be joyful all day long.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Reject the spirit of depression.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Hab 3:17-18 (KJV) Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, I WILL JOY in the God of my salvation.
ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY Sing, shout, jump, do anything to stay joyful.
Nothing just happens. There is always cause and effect. Coincidences are almost always divine incidents at the end of the day.
Nobody brings plucked fruit to you. You have to do your climbing and plucking. You have to do your learning.
In the school of marriage, there cannot be impersonation, you will have to write your examination all by yourself.

In terms of communication in marriage, you have to make certain decisions and stick to it. In terms of how to resolve quarrels, there has to be an established and agreed way of settling them. In times when one party is angry and hurt, there must be an agreed way of sorting them and as a couple, you must conform to whatever you agree.
There has to be these decisions.
Maintaining and sustaining joy is a decision that you have to make.
Hab 3:17-18 (KJV) Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, I WILL JOY in the God of my salvation.
This Scripture shows that there seems to be no productivity, but the person in question decides to keep himself joyful.
This is how we win in the kingdom. This is how we fight our battle. We don’t fight with guns or wield some weapons of war. We fight with joy! Glory to God. We fight with rejoicing. We fight by staying joyful.
As couples, stay away from endless cycle of hurts and bitterness. Stay on the side of joy and your victory will be guaranteed in Jesus name!
Good morning!
