Joy, An Aspect Of Faith!

 Psalm 4:7

God is the giver of true joy.

Joy is an aspect of true faith.

I'm referring to God given joy, this type of joy is not dependent on natural or outward factors, it doesn't need something physical to happen for this joy to erupt.

This joy is part of the fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22

Joy is more important than many people realize when it comes to their lives and spiritual walk.

Guard your joy and see to it  that no one steals it.

The enemy will try to steal your joy, he will use people, situations, circumstances and all sorts of distractions and gimmicks to try and steal your joy.

John 10:10

You will do well not to give in to the enemy and his tricks, don't fall for it.

We need our faith to please God.

Hebrews 11:6

Joy reveals and reflects your faith.

If you receive from God you will be joyful.

John 16:24

We need faith to receive from God.

Faith demands we believe and know we have received from God  before we receive the physical manifestation of that which we were trusting for.

If you believe God has heard you, you will be joyful before you get the tangible answer you released your faith for..

True faith demands we should be as joyful as we will be when the physical manifestation of our faith arrives, even when we haven't seen it yet.

Even our giving should be done with joy, our giving is an aspect of our worship.

Mark 12:41

When giving, we are meant to do so with joy.

2 Corinthians 4:7

It is a pleasure to serve God.

Whatever we do, the scriptures say we should do it unto the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:31

If we are truly doing things unto the Lord, we should be joyful doing it unto God.

Our joy is a signal.

It sends a signal to heaven that we derive pleasure living for God and serving Him.

Isaiah 60:5

God looks out for our joy and wants us living joyful lives.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
