The Spirit of Joy A Must Have For Every Believer

Welcome to today’s message.   I see this week delivering the ordained blessing to you In the precious name of Jesus.

. Jesus says in Jn. 6:63; It is the spirit that quickeneth……The words that I speak to you are Spirit and life. May the spirit of the word enter you to produce your desired change as you read this piece. May the testimonies of the saints herein act to you as a divine catalyst to release your own desired testimony. Peace to you!

God hath enacted a covenant that guarantees all round fruitfulness with the saints (those who have given their life to Jesus and following His ways). God spoke about this in Ez. 34:24-27.

 Christ has met all the requirements for the ratification of this covenant. Therefore this covenant is in force. Yet every believer needs the spirit of joy at work in the heart to be able to experience this covenant in operations.

JOY: ACCESS TO REVELATION
The bible records in Is. 61:3 (the last statement) that every believer is to be called a tree of righteousness. Read Is 61:13.  Bearing fruits glorifies God, but bearing great fruits at their own season exalts Him more. Remember what Jesus rightly says; Read Jn. 15:5. That is to show you what manner of fruits you ought to bear as a believer; glorious fruits that will provoke attraction because it is the branch that holds the fruits. Your life becomes an expression of the goodness of divinity. You reflect and exhibit the glory of the roots. Revelations of the Scriptures in your spirit given by the Holy Ghost in which you walk is the life water and power that provokes your fruitfulness. But it’s amazing. The scripture says; Read Isaiah 12:3 Without joy, you have no access to revelations. This is the necessity of joyfulness which I think you need to foremost understand to help you make a decision. Revelations is the cause for kingdom fruitfulness.

JOY; POWER FOR FRUITFULNESS
Read Joel 1:10-12. May this never be your portion. But can you imagine? Despite the fact that these people are covenant children to whom the promises of God hath been given. They are still experiencing all this frustration, just because of one thing; their joy is withered off. Joyfulness is what satan takes away from the heart of a man that gives him the power to cause havoc.  Don’t allow it! Therefore joyfulness in God is a basic condition to be met for the covenant of God to have effect in your life. You must have come to understand that the service you render to Good without joyfulness is unacceptable (Deut. 28:47-48). Truly the offerings and tithes that you give to God without gladness of heart is not received by the Spirit (2 Cor. 9:7). So satan your adversary will do all he can to grieve you and hold you down with the spirit of sorrow and depression of heart are not emotional and psychological disorders as so called. They are demonic bonds to unfruitfulness. The end of sorrow in a life is the beginning of divine restoration. I pray for you that as you read this piece, the root of sorrow and depression. Understand therefore that sorrow and depression of heart are not emotional and psychological disorders as so called. They are demonic bonds to unfruitfulness. The end of sorrow in a life is the beginning of divine restoration. I pray for you that as you read this piece, the root of sorrow and depression tormenting your heart be uprooted. I pray that the yoke of grief and unfruitfulness lose its grip over you this day in the name of Jesus.

JOY: FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
Joy means the effervescence of the spirit man. It means the uncontrollable bubbling and excitement of the soul. Joy means an uncontrolled delight welling up from within. Just like sorrow, grief and depression of the heart are products of demonic spirit oppression; joy of the heart is a function of the Holy Spirit at work within the inner man of a believer. This is why Paul lists this virtue of joy as part of the fruit of the spirit in Gal. 5:22. Paul constantly experiences this grace and refers to it as joy unspeakable (uncontrollable), full of glory (1 Pet. 1:8). It causes a constant rejoicing and bubbling inside even when things are wrong around you. When your spirit bubbles up. Everything wrong around you turns out right. But when you remain gloomy, things collapse the more. Oh, how you need this virtue! This is one of the ministries of the Holy Ghost in the believer. Read Isaiah. 61:2-3. I pray for the restoration of the spirit of joy in your soul this day. For every negative issue of your life, receive God’s help; for confusion, receive divine portions (Is. 61:7). I pray that as the oil of joy and garment of praise comes over you, you will begin to spring forth with great fruits. Hannah was fruitless, and her unfruitfulness was established because she was a woman of sorrowful spirit (1 Sam. 1:15) and she lived her life in bitterness of soul (1 Sam 1: 15) and she lived her life in bitterness of soul (1 Sam 1:10). This is despite her prayer life and fasting life perhaps. But immediately she dropped the garment of sorrow and her countenance was no longer sad because her heart became fixed onto the LORD, the LORD remembered her  and gave her a new song; Read 1 Sam.2:5. I see every sorrowful sound out of your heart turning to songs of testimonies before the end of this year, in Jesus mighty name. 

The Word Of God The Beginning Of Joy

Take your eyes off what ought to have happened that has not happened and begin to meditate on God’s promises given by his word.

When you focus on negativity, it brings a cloud over your spirit man and in no short tie you are shrouded in the darkness of sorrow. But concentrating on God’s promises given to you in His word stimulates hope; that maketh not ashamed (Rom. 5:5) and this stimulates joy that activated the fulfillment of the word to testimonies. This is the life attitude of the wise. Jeremiah says; Thy words were found, and I did eat (meditate deeply) 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 (Jer.15:16). Yes! God’s word sweetens the soul. Begin to live your life exactly like Jesus lived His life; who for the joy (hope of future glory) set before him endured the cross, despising the shame and is now set at the right hand of the throne of God (Heb. 12:2).There is another level beyond what’s causing your grief now. Look into the word to see it and receive your joy back.

BEGIN TO REJOICE AT THE WORD AND PRAISE GOD FOR THE WORD

(I rejoice (O LORD) at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. psl 119:16.)

That’s David speaking. No wonder he bore fruits even in circumstances where others are barren. God’s promises are true basis for praising God. When you praise God for His word, He enlarges His word to you in revelations. And revelations cause your change. Why won’t you praise Him? Certain things have gone wrong despite! Oh! God is definitely the reason why all things haven’t gone wrong around you. Even the things that have gone wrong could have been worse if not for His mercies. Now He’s pointing you to the good things that will speedily come to pass. Begin to rejoice and begin to break forth on all sides as you receive the oil of joy and praise. These eight months remaining for the year, shall be seasons of harvest for you. Every valley of your life shall be filled with rainfall of His blessing. Peace to your heart, in Jesus Name!

New Beginnings In Marriage

God has a standard and provision for establishing marital breakthroughs…

Math 19/4-6, Heb 13/4. Marriage is for honorable living and all round refreshing, Heb 3:4 It is not an accident or a coincidence, but built.

A.         It is for learners.

       Only committed learners become great leaders. Until you are willing to learn you are not qualified to lead, Heb 6/12.  Jesus affirmed this in Math 4/19, ‘Get to know my approach to issues, follow the same approach and you will get the same results.

B.         There is a demand

       God’s principal provision for new beginnings in your marital destiny is divine enlightenment has been the greatest need to may troubled lives or destinies today… Math 7/24-27.As long as there is insufficient light, shinning is impossible. God’s glory is withheld and darkness becomes inevitable.

       This means arise, be announced and be made manifest.

Prov. 3/35 says, The wise or spiritually enlightened shall inherit glory while Eccl. 8/1 states that, wisdom makes a man’s face to shine.

Once there are no more new discoveries or enlightenments there can be no more adventures in life. Go for daily divine enlightenment otherwise all you will end up with is plenty of darkness, very little shinning and God’s glory withheld.

We speak not of the volume of scriptures but access to his voice;not church attendance but  plenty of spiritual illumination

C.         ACCESS TO DIVINE ENLIGHTENMENT

       Luke 2/52.A vital way of obtaining wisdom is learning and being taught. Wisdom is taught!! Prov 4/4-5

D.         HOW TO ENCOUNTER THIS BREAKTHROUGH.

       Many marital destinies are so insensitive and careless. They lack divine enlightenment. How then do you recover?

1.           Desire to learn.

Abraham: When it was breakthrough time in the house of Abraham picked it and the wife and children collaborated.

Elisha as an honorable man of God. The husband responded and barrenness was terminated ….2 Kings 4/8-16.

2.           Alertness

Ezekiel: Be available to hear the voice of the spirit through which you enjoy a duplication and multiplication. You cannot covet to get you connect to get. Connectivity commands the flow of divine substance, enabling you to produce dramatically and amazingly. The glorious financial destiny of this great commission and the unusual supplies is as a result of the encounter with the cope lands.

The bible dictionary defines teaching as an act of instructing students or imparting knowledge and information. Teaching is a process of empowering the word, so you can see what God is saying concerning the subject matter.

The concept of teaching usually means receiving and walking in divine instructions. The word you understand is the word you retain and it is the word you retain that you do. From this day you will stand as an example to the unbeliever.

3.           Meekness to learn

       Abigail: Foolishness can be very costly. It was in the case of Nabal who had become so insensitive, unlearned and thick that it destroyed him.

1Sam 25/23-38

This month God will flood your life with spiritual enlightenment that guaranteed greater manifestations in your  marital destiny.

4.           Give him continuous praise

       High praised compel breakthroughs and divine recoveries. The Lord said to Israel through Moses, “Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: now turn you northward …’

      

Deaut 2/3.God’s provision for you is to be ever fruitful, ever productive, ever advancing. Therefore, ‘sing, o barren, Is 54/1-5.

       David was a praising saint. He acknowledged praying 3 times  a day and praising God 7 times daily. Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments Ps. 119:164

       Everything that sought tomes up his destiny ended up frustrated. At every stage of his life the enemy was frustrated just as every enemy of your marital destiny is herewith destroyed. PEACE

Covenant Responsibilities In Marriage

When you notice absence of marital break through, it is your duty to dig and find out why or what is making for the unfaithfulness. It is of great importance to note that God is never to blame nor has the devil any power over the life of a man who walks under the covenant. Hosea 4/6 You must therefore be sensitive to identify which covenant responsibilities are missing per time, so you can increase our fruitfulness.

A. Relationship with parents
There are many marital destinies, business and families that are not well today because one is yet to, ‘honor thy father and thy mother …’ .You have an undeniable responsibility towards your parent. Relating to them well and caring for their well being should be of utmost importance to you. And that is why many are tithing and sowing yet nothing is forthcoming because this major covenant is out of place. There is something in parental blessings; long life (Eph 6/3) protection, peace, lifting all round your life etc and you ought to go after it. Parental blessings are as important as blessings from God. Gen 27/3-4 They are what connect you to breakthrough in life. It is your covenant responsibility to honour your parents according to the level that God has blessed you. If this has not been your lifestyle repent and even sow a seed into their lives. Ensure that you include them in your covenant relationship with God. Watch what will happen.

B. Lack of focus in life
Many lack marital breakthroughs because they have become Lot’s wife in life and destiny .Only those who look forward go forward in life! …Luke 9/62. Exploits in the kingdom have their roots in knowledge of God. Dan 11/32. Those who know their God, not those who cry or weep nor those who run around shall do exploits. I see your life being filled  with exploits in Jesus name.

Your problem is not out of the happenings around but from within you as  a person. The knowledge of God does not bring one down it lifts you up. Do not say, ‘It is because I am a Christian. If I was still there like I was before, dong the things I used to …’ Beware, otherwise you will become a pillar of salt. Those who look back don’t see the front, neither do they get to the front. 

There is nothing that has value out of God. Nothing but a bitter end is all there is outside salvation …Eccl 7/8. There is nothing you  need that is not provided for in the bible so goo for it. Any relationship that will not let you walk with God will walk you down hell. Be focused and Jesus will make you the star that God ordained you to be.

Parental blessings are as important as blessings from  God.. gen 27/3-4.

C. Holding on to that does not profit.


1) Forgive and forget beloved. Math 1823-25
If anyone has offended, injured disappointed or owes you and you know he is not in a position  to pay, forgive and forget. Asking why? God has more for you than what  any man owes you. Do not bind your brother or sister because of offence. Fear has torments. Perfect love casts out fear.

2) Treat people well …Luke 10/7
When you have people work for you and you are leaving in splendor without considering them, you are a fraud. It is here that your business stops to flourish and life becomes a misery. Reward the people for their diligent service and allow them to grow as well. Remember Joseph? Maid or slave today  is not going to be one tomorrow, so do not despise or look down upon him, treat him/her well.

From today you shall be reckoned with by all around you as very great. There shall be no more leakages in your finance, but harvest.

3) Be diligent.
Breakthrough, affluence or glory never comes by accident but by input. Prov 22/29. There is dignity in labor. Anything that will profit your life must be worked on. Jesus said, I must work ….. “ He also said, “My father worketh” John 5/17. Paul labored, 1 Cor 15/10. There is no future for the idle in the kingdom, 2 Thes 3/10.The prosperous church is a doing believer,….and whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper, Ps 1/3. It is time to start working things out! Is 3/10.

4) Give it all you have got.
Black has nothing to do with the colour of your destiny. Slothfulness and lack of commitment to life and destiny or responsibilities  is what makes you ‘black’, songs of Sol. 1/6  put in your best in making most of what you have per time. There is enough provision around where you are. May you find it.

Give it all you have got and the covenant will locate you, your lifting will come and your future secured. Eccl 9/10.

Have joy in working out the best of every relationship. There is a great future awaiting you. Never be caught doing nothing or envying others. It is time to take back your position as a pace setting and blessed believer. From now on you will enjoy marital bliss in Jesus mighty name.
