Happy New Week to everyone. Our focus this week will be “THE JOY OF THE LORD.” Today’s Topic says, Joy Is Of The Lord. Yes, Joy is of God and not of Man. What every man can produce is happiness and not Joy. Many time we equate the feelings of accomplishment to the Joy of the Lord which are two different instances. The Joy of the Lord is not attached to a particular achievement, it’s not substance oriented, we have it because we have God within us. This is the reason why many still move on in the face of trials as if nothing was lost. It’s the reason why situations doesn’t have a hold on some Christians. The Lord is the giver of joy. That accomplishment is for a while and may soon expire, you will in turn desire more successes after it because, it has an outdated date, but the Joy of the Lord is every lasting and can only be gotten by God. Wealth, riches, position, title, fame and power can’t give you the Joy of the Lord. They can only give you happiness. Don’t misquote me, Happiness is part of what God has predestined for us but not as important as the Joy of God itself. This is the root of it all, without God there can’t be Joy. The Joy of the Lord brings contentment which happiness can’t produce. We need the two but one more than the other. This week, you will experience the Joy of the Lord.
Nehemiah was speaking to the people of God, saying, “The Joy of The Lord …”, not the happiness of a moment, meaning, the source of their Joy should be from the Lord and not from the occurrence. May the Joy of the Lord fill our heart in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Good Morning.
