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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
