1Thessalonians 4:4, Philippians 4:4, Habakkuk 3:17-19
Joy cannot be hidden
Joy is highly contagious. When you are joyful, people around you flow in the same mood..
Whatever you may be going through in life, try as much as possible to remain joyful at all times, do not allow anyone or anything steal your joy.
THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH (Nehemiah 8:10).
When your joy is taken, your strength is taken likewise. Phil 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me…… Strength to do all things and for all things
“Joy equals strength”.
Don’t be carried away by what you are going through and loose your joy rather be occupied with where you are going to…. And you can only know where you are going to if you know the promises of God concerning your life.. He said in His Word “… My plans for you are good and not evil… To bring you to an expected end” (Jer 29:11). There is an end….. There is a place He is taking you to, even though everything around you seems to be acting contrary.
Whenever circumstances of life seems to be weighing you down, remember His promises to you, search the scriptures and get multiple promises that can never lie. Counter each discouragement or negativity with the word of God. Know what He is saying concerning you per time. Repeat those promises to yourself all the time until they become a part of you.
Stay positive at all times. Make sure to have positive affirmations around you all the time.. Speak them to yourself. This can keep u joyful
An attitude of praise can keep you joyful. When the world throws at you reasons why u shouldn’t be joyful, look for possible reasons to make you praise God at all times, this can be achieved when an attitude of gratitude is built. When you stay grateful you will always be joyful.
Surround yourself with positive and joyful people…. This cannot be overemphasized as those you stay with more often have a great impact in your life, (Pro 13:20)…. Separate yourself from those who always murmur, grumble and see negativity in every situation
As we know joyfulness does not mean absence of storms and hauls of life rather a stamina to stay strong and hold on in the midst of it. It’s what makes us different from others. Having a reason to “hold on” rather than “give up”.
Whatever the situations around you know that ” all things work together for good, to those who love God and are the called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28)
Ask the Lord to fill You with His Joy today and I tell you He won’t disappoint you.
