(TEXT : Psalms 5:11)
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
FOCUS :
God defends us even as we depends on His everlasting Joy that is unspeakable in our lives. Many at times we go through storms of life and the life in us most time seems not be enough to see us through the journey; however, glory be to God that we are unstoppable by the power of the Joy of God living inside of us. Sometimes, the enemies has literally taken everything from you a believer: your job is gone, your finance is bankrupt, your marriage is struggling with depression, your vision is delusion, your ministry doesn’t seems to be growing in grace and all things are not just seems right with you; but you still have JOY.
Job 13:15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
In addition, the devil don’t know how to quit. And because of this, he is only after one single thing about you, and that is your Joy. Guide your Joy with all jealousy, because that is the only thing that matters the most in your earthly journey. It’s through your abundance of Joy that your salvation is sealed. Because when you are saved, whole lots of trouble, temptations, suffering, afflictions, and challenges will surely come your way; but in the midst of all these, the only thing that can keep you till the very last end it’s your JOY.
Psalms 48:2
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
Psalms 113:9
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Habakkuk 3:18
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
2 Corinthians 8:2
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
Finally, even though we are going through too many problems at a time in the world today, the only reason some of us are still surviving all this “EVIL TIME”; it is simply because “WE STILL HAVE JOY.” Not all can withstand all that is happening at a time like this in all over the world; but the more our joy grew, the more we overcome the world. Many have died and many are still dying from depression because one way or the other, they lack Joy or misinterpret “Joy for Happiness.” Meanwhile, happiness it’s external which can last for just few minutes or even the whole day, and after all, you will still go back to your normal mood. However, Joy it’s internal, which comes from within and by subscription to it, it’s eternity. Let nothing steal your JOY from you!
Job 19:25
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
John 16:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
John 16:24
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
