REJOICE




Text :  1 Thess.  5:16  

Rejoice evermore. 

In Philippian 4:4 (ISV)   the scripture instructed us to:
Keep on rejoicing in the Lord at all times. I will say it again: Keep on rejoicing!

While Joy is a noun, Rejoice is a an action word(verb). So, Joy is a state which is being expressed as REJOICE. *One who rejoices is one who has Joy. True rejoicing comes from the well of Joy.* Only the Joyous can Rejoice. I pray that you will always see and have reasons for rejoicing in Jesus name.

The scripture is clear about the context of our rejoicing- *IN THE LORD.* This is the only context that will always give you reasons for continuous rejoicing. If your rejoicing is in your wife, husband or children, there will be days they won't be there for you. If your Joy is IN your wealth,status or achievements, you will suddenly realise that they don't bring lasting happiness. *Nothing or No one in this world is capable of giving you a lasting Joy. Only Christ does.* 

 *The only One that guarantees your continuous and fullness of Joy is Christ.* So, for you to be able to Rejoice always, it has to be in the Lord. 
 *Do not always wait for a cause to Rejoice, rather find a cause to Rejoice-Christ is enough cause.* 

If your Joy is dependent on the offerings of this world, you will always experience ups and down moments, but if your joy comes from the Lord, though there might be turbulence all around you, you will always experience the Joy of the Lord on the inside.

 *Your rejoicing will daily flow from inside out and your Joy will become full, when your affection and focus is on Christ and Christ alone.* It's only in Christ, your Peace and Joy can be found. 

 *REJOICE FOREVERMORE!* 

Bible reading: Mathew 2:8-11.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
