The power of Joy

2012-09-05T08:09:00.001-07:00

Joy is an attribute of the human spirit; it is a result of a deep conviction/assurance of victory or success. There are several things that yield joy, e.g. victory, success, hopes fulfilled or generally, good news evokes joy. The kind of information that gets into us is also responsible for whether or not we shall enjoy a joyous lifestyle. It is important to feed your mind with information the right stuff; information that edifies; that which is of a good report.

Good news evokes joy

What joy can yield
Having highlighted some of the things that yield joy (victory, success, good news, etc), let me now share what joy can produce:
Joy is not just a product; it is also a producer. By this I mean that joy has the power to yield success, prosperity, increase, promotion, etc. This is one unique attribute of this priceless virtue! May be I should highlight more on this with an example of the children of Israel: in Joshua chapter 6, the children of Israel brought down the walls of Jericho with just a shout of joy! Rejoicing produced what they desired to see. Instead of it being the other way round-that the walls should first fall before they rejoice, it was the rejoicing that came first. God wants us to live that way; to rejoice even before we see anything physically; that is faith. Rejoicing even before you see anything has the power to produce what you desire; it is a spiritual principle.
Joy can be evoked deliberately
God wants us to rejoice regardless of the circumstances around us. This is the very reason the Holy Spirit through Paul spoke in Philippians 4:4: “rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice” God knows that by simply rejoicing, regardless of what is going on around us we shall be able to see what we desire. We are children of faith just like our Father.

Faith is a law; it always works

2012-08-17T01:52:00.000-07:00

A law is something that will always work whenever put to use. We have several laws, such as the law of gravity, the law of flotation and many others. These laws will always work whenever they are applied. The bible reveals that faith is a law (Romans 3:27). This means that whenever you walk in faith, you will always get the desired results. The bible records several men of God who through faith accomplished great exploits; they obtained a good testimony through faith. Faith will always bring forth fruit whenever you walk in it. Faith has the ability to draw things from the spirit world to the physical realm. Faith is one of the things that please God. Since faith is a law, it will work for both Christian and non-Christian. If you are going to live in victory every day of your life, purpose to walk in faith. The devil is scared of anyone who purposes to walk by faith, because faith never fails. It is therefore important that you learn how to walk in faith. Faith thrives on the knowledge of the Word of God; the more of God’s word you know, the stronger your faith will be. Your faith can be as strong as you want it to be, all you need is to put it to work through practicing to walk in it.

Saturating your life with the presence of God

2012-07-31T04:33:00.000-07:00

It is possible to live a life that is fully saturated with the presence of God, a life of an unending flow of the supernatural; a life that repels sickness, and all negatives; a life full of glory and power. All you need to access that life is to have the holy spirit in you (you should be a believer in Jesus to have him-Acts 2:38). When you have the Holy Spirit in you, you can enjoy a life that is saturated with the presence o of God. All you need to know is how to arouse him (allowing him to have absolute access to every area of your life). The Holy Spirit is very gentle (yet so powerful) and only takes over your life if you let him to. Ephesians 5:18-20 reveals to us how to do it-speaking to ourselves in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs….. The more we put these things into practice, the more the presence of God takes over. This however should not be a onetime thing; it should be a continuous and consistent practice, you simply have to discipline yourself to do it. Apply this recipe and it will do great wonders in your life; causing you to life and extraordinary life.

In 1 john 4:5, the bible records that whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world and the last part of this verse actually reveals that whosoever has received Christ as lord is born of God. God did not give us birth in the way men do; he did it through his word. (Having be born again, not of corruptible seed, but of the incorruptible WORD of God, which lives and abides forever. 1peter 1:23). When you receive Jesus as lord, the word of God regenerates your spirit and deposits the very nature of God inside your spirit. Nature alone can also teach us a lesson: a son will always have the same nature as the father and the bible clearly reveals that we are sons of God! (Galatians 4:6). So then since God has given us his very nature, this means that we have the power to function like him. God functions the way he does because of his nature, and now having been born again, we have his very nature of God. This is what God planned before the foundations of the world; to glorify man. God has great confidence in us, because we have the very thing (his nature) that enables him to function the way he does. This is the reason you should never permit the enemy to mess with you, you are superior to him, live beyond limits. You are a child of glory and you have the power to accomplish anything!

you have God's favour

2012-07-18T06:11:00.000-07:00

Favor is a blessing. When God’s favor is upon your life, it causes you to be accepted where many have been rejected; it distinguishes you from the many. The favor of God upon your life will cause you to prosper where many are failing; success becomes the order of the day. When you are believer in Christ God’s favor rests upon your life. The bible reveals that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing… (Ephesians 1:3) and favor is just one of them. God’s favor will cause you to always get the best of any share; this is the reason David said that his inheritance was delightful (Psalm 16). Knowing that you have God’s favor upon your life is so fundamental if you are going to walk in it. This is because the kingdom of God operates by knowledge; you can never enjoy anything you do not know that you have. So then always, thank God for his favor upon your life and as so do, you will start walking in it.

the power of the tongue

2011-10-05T05:38:00.000-07:00

The tongue has power; yielding either good or bad: its fruits simply depends on how one uses it. Actually many people are in certain situations, positions, or mood simply because of the way they have been using their tongue. I have tried to explore the mysterious power in the tongue using some examples.
Depending on how you have spoken it, a word can either build somebody or crush him; it can encourage him or discourage him. Words can invite peace, hope, and joy; at the same time, words can open a door for fear, anxiety and peacelessness. For instance counselors simply use words to restore the down trodden. Am simply trying to bring to light, the mysterious power that is hidden in this little member. How do you think people are able to pronounce a curse and it actually comes to pass? Well, if you don’t believe in curses, then possibly you will believe these other examples.
In Africa, people are given all sorts of names; one example is a child who was named “mwavu”. In English, this name can be translated “failure”. Amazingly this boy’s life has been seen to follow the direction of his name. First, he took 14 years to complete the 7 year primary school level. What rubbed salt into the wound is that his grades were too poor to usher him into high school. His parents out of their poverty then solicited some funds and opened a small shop for him, which was broken into by thieves six months later. He then tried cultivating but seems s like it’s only his field which was not productive! Misery clothes him whenever he sees boys of his age making tremendous progress; he has become like a desolate city, nothing that he does prospers. His opportunities only last a moment like a hired man. The sorry bit of it is that he is simply inheriting the fruits of his parents’ ignorance!
This is just one sample, but I have witnessed four more, also with very negative

laughter is of benefit

2011-09-15T04:41:00.000-07:00

Laughter is one of the weapons I use to shield myself from the negativities that always show up in my way. On many occasions wounds of the past try to rub in, something may simply not go the way I expected or I may hear something that may invite tension. The first thing I normally do in such circumstances, the first thing I normally do is to burst out laughing. And it is amazing that merely a few seconds of laughter are enough to restore me!
I have found laughter to be a great companion; remedy for stress, tension, depression, anxiety, hopelessness and even body pain. Laughter can mend a broken heart and restore a crushed spirit. It has always been a water to my desert; a stream to my wasteland. By it I have been able to cultivate a sense of well being. Laughter refreshes, restores and renews; it converts one’s wilderness into a fruitful ground.
