I Am Filled With Joy And Peace

I Am Filled With Joy And Peace

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hello dear, it’s another time to learn from God’s word.

Today I will be talking to you about Joy and Peace.

I know they are two familiar words, but let me help your memory by giving a simple definition.

Joy is a great feeling of happiness or pleasure; delight.

Peace on the other hand is a state of calmness and order.

These are two amazing things to have all at once.

It’s one of the prayers that can be found in the Bible. A prayer that we as God’s children be filled with Joy and Peace all at once and at the same time.

Let me show you what the Bible says;

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.—Romans 15:13 (NIV)

There is a lot said in this bible verse, let’s pick them one after the other.

God has the capacity to fill you and I with Joy and Peace, if it were not so, we won’t find the request in the bible.

Another thing this verse says is that being filled with Joy and Peace happens as a result of trusting in God. Believing in Jesus his son is a fundamental aspect of this process.

Then it says so that you may overflow with hope. The word overflow means to have something to the extent that it begins to pour out. Like filling a cup with water so much that it begins to pour out.

So the bible is saying it’s possible for you to overflow with hope, overflow with an assurance that God always has your back.

Let’s look at another translation.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. —Romans 15:13 (AMP)

I like how this translation ends it by saying we overflow with the confidence of God’s promises for us.

As God’s child, what has he promised you? Be confident in what he has said and it will surely come to pass.

How To Come Out Of Depression – Part 2

How To Come Out Of Depression – Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Continued from yesterday.

What is the way out?

Rather than weep, lift your voice and cry unto the Lord! He will come through for you! You’ve been jobless for a while? And you are beginning to give up? No, don’t round up your life and make a permanent conclusion because of a temporary situation. The job will still come! Your relationships have not all worked? When you meet the right person, it will work. Rather than feel forsaken and abandoned, use that time to develop yourself! Age is no longer on your side? Agreed, but God is still on your side. When God is on your side, you will laugh last. That very depression is not the way out, in fact, it drives potential suitors away upon seeing your countenance, so cheer up!

What you need to do is to cast down those thoughts. Refuse to agree with what he says. Rather, choose to accept what God says about you. The devil says you are finished. God says He is just starting. Whose report will you believe? If you believe the devil, you will slide into depression, but if you believe in God, you will rise in the joy of the Holy Ghost. That is why the scriptures advise that you should count it all joy. Why? Because there will be victory in the end.

Resort to praise and the heaviness will lift. Start meditating on God’s word and God’s word will come through for you! Despite contradictory and obvious happenstances, switch into praise, praise God to a point till you get the devil confused. Praise God to a point till God has no choice till He deploys every available divine resource in your favour including angelic interventions. Joy is not a function of a situation or circumstance, it is the fruit of the recreated human spirit. It is there all the time. I only need to stir it up! You stir it up with a shout, a dance, or laughter! So, go ahead!  It is the dawning of a new day for you. Shout ‘No more depression! No more, not me!’ Did you feel strength from within? That is what joy does! You get it now.

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I have the joy of the Lord always

PRAYERS FOR THE DAY
I break the hold of depression over my life in Jesus name

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Pro 12:25 KJV Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Take a promise of God’s word and meditate on it.

Rejoice Again And Again In Your Marriage

Rejoice Again And Again In Your Marriage

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Rejoice Again And Again In Your Marriage. The Bible says husbands should enjoy the wife of their youth. This means you both should enjoy yourselves while you have the strength as a young couple. Don’t be too serious at home and learn to live together as best friends.

The force of joy is very vital on the home front. Joy, celebration, thanksgiving, rejoicing, the sound of melody, praises, and worship to God all go hand in hand.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. – Psa 67:5-6

We are encouraged in this scripture to praise the Lord, then our earth, whatever it is the represents earth will yield her increase. Whether barrenness, lack, joblessness, debt etc

The logical thing to do is get moody when things are not working. But we operate from a higher level. We rejoice to get the increase. Your boss, spouse or colleague may be treated you bad. You don’t fight back you switch into praise.

Did you miss out on yesterday’s devotional, we’ve got you covered kindly go HERE. For KHC video Devotionals kindly go HERE

Receive Grace and strength to enter into praise. God inhabit your praise. Your praise invite God to fight on your behalf.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. – Php 4:4

Let nothing steal your joy. Let your rejoicing be in the Lord

Don’t allow the pressure of finances, raising children, in- laws and others destabilize your togetherness and joy. Nothing must come in between your joy. Between the two of you, one person will be more playful and tend towards being joyful all the time

Let the playful one take the initiative and the other follow suit.

The Holy Spirit knows what He’s saying when He says enjoy the wife of your youth. Be deliberate in making each other happy. Do not make others outside your home or marriage happy at the expense of your spouse.

Read books together and discuss them. Invest in each other.

I pray your marriage will be beautiful and filled with new wine.

God bless your marriage

CONFESSION OF THE DAY
I love my spouse and we enjoy life together

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord help us to be joyful always.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY
Ecc 9:9  Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Rejoice and enjoy yourself

BIBLE READING FOR THE DAY
Col 3

What Does Joy Really Mean?

What Does Joy Really Mean?

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

What exactly does joy mean? What was the writer of Galatians saying when he was talking about this fruit of the spirit?

Joy can be defined as gladness and delight. It can also be said to be a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

Going through the bible, we can define joy to be a feeling of good pleasure and happiness. This feeling is dependent on who Jesus is, not on who we are or what we are experiencing around us.

Joy comes from the Holy Spirit, abiding in God’s presence and from hope in His word.

Dear children, understand that joy is not found in possession, activities or other people. Joy is found in God, in His presence, in His spirit and in who He is.

As children, learn to be joyful in all circumstances. Never allow your countenance to be down. You should always exhibit this priceless fruit of the spirit wherever you find yourself.

As parents, let us learn to affirm our children as this will also be a source of encouragement to them even as they strive to be more joyful, by the spirit.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to live a life of joy; Amen.

Action point:
Ask for the spirit of joy

Declaration:
I am a joyful child. I have the spirit of joy in me.

Understanding The Force of Joy

Understanding The Force of Joy

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The second fruit listed in our text as a fruit of the spirit is Joy. Therefore today, we would be seeking to understand the force of joy.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. – Galatians 5:22-23

Joy is a force. Joy is a spirit. Joy is that which comes from within.

There is a huge difference between happiness and joy.
While the former is as a result of external happenstances, joy is something you engage in from your inner man.

That was why Apostle Paul said:

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

Joy is not dependent on what’s going in or around you.

Joy is not interested on your mid-term report sheet.

Joy can be expressed in shouts, jumps, laughter, and dance.

So my dear children, do all you can to make sure the joy of the Lord is evident in you.

May God grant you more understanding. Amen

Prayer:
Lord, help me to maintain an atmosphere of joy.

Action point:
Be joyful always.

Declaration:
I am a Joy dispenser.
