REJOICE!

This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Today is a new day and you can rejoice and be glad in it. As a child of God, you can rejoice every day because you are forgiven, you are the healed, you are rich and you are blessed. No matter what your life looks like right now, you can rejoice. Do not let temporary circumstances still your joy, choose to rejoice.  You could be saying, “I have pain in my body or I’ve been diagnosed with an illness.” You see that is a fact and facts can change. What is the truth? By Jesus’ stripes you are healed.

Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 2:24

You could be saying, “I’m in debt and things are not looking good financially.” That is only a fact and facts can change. What is the truth? Jesus became poor that you may be rich and you are a joint-heir with Christ Jesus.

For you know the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8: 9

You could be saying, “Things are not going alright for me, I’m not fruitful or productive and I seem to be stagnant.” That is only a fact and it can change. The truth is you are blessed and you can be fruitful and productive.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on the tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Galatians 3:13-14

No matter what you are going through, you can rejoice because joy is a choice. You can choose to rejoice amidst adverse circumstances. Choose to rejoice because the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Nehemiah 8:10

Thought of the day: Joy is a choice and I can choose to rejoice.

Confession: This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

PRAY FOR LEADERS IN YOUR COUNTRY

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 2 Timothy 2:1-2 As a child of God it is your responsibility to pray for leaders in your country. Leaders in your country are appointed by God and you need to pray for them not criticize them. Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good. 1 Peter 2:13 God can speak to their hearts to favor the church. God can speak to their hearts to make decisions that are in line with His Word. That is where your prayers come in; your prayers are needed for God to work in your leaders’ hearts. The king’s heart is in the hands of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherev...
