JOYFUL EVERY DAY!

JOYFUL EVERY DAY

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:24).

Our opening scripture reveals the heart of the Father and His desire for us: He wants your joy to be full always. 

That’s because being joyful is very important in the Kingdom of God. The Bible says “A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul…” (Proverbs 17:22 TPT).

It makes no difference what situations you face; exude joy; rejoice evermore. 

The beautiful part is that our joy is of the Holy Ghost, and therefore, it’s independent of circumstances: “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” (Romans 14:17).

We’re full of joy even in the face of adversities and persecution: “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations” (James 1:2). 

That means no room for frustration in your life. When others come in contact with you, they experience joy unspeakable and full of glory.

The Bible tells us about the children of Israel; how their joy was heard afar off as they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced after rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem: “Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off” (Nehemiah 12:43). 

That lets you know that joy has expressions. Laughter and singing songs of praise in thanksgiving are expressions of joy.

So, despite the terrible things happening in the world today, be full of joy every day. Give no place to gloom in your life. 

Generate and release joy and excitement from inside you today.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

I’m exuberant with praise always, expressing joy unspeakable and full of glory because the joy of the Lord is my strength. 
My joy is independent of circumstances; it comes from my inner man. My joy is permanent, and it keeps me strong and alive. Glory to God!

SIGNS OF YOUR DIVINITY
(You Have Dominion Over Disease And Sickness)

📖TO THE BIBLE Mark 16:17-18 ESV “And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

LET’S TALK⏩
Our opening scripture outlines some of the signs of our divinity. One of them is our dominion and power over sickness, disease, and infirmities. 

Not only do we have the power to cast out devils, we also have the power to heal sicknesses and cure diseases. Jesus made us healers. 

He said in Matthew 10:8, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Notice He didn’t say, “Pray to Me to heal the sick.”

He said in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 

He made us superior to Satan, who is majorly responsible for most of the illnesses that people suffer from. Why, then, are there Christians who are still buffeted by sickness, disease, and Satan in spite of these realities?

Psalm 82:5-7 gives us the answer. It says, ‘They do not know, nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness… I said, “You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. 

But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”’ Many are ignorant of God’s Word, and as a result, they’re not aware that they have power over sickness and disease; they’re not conscious that they have divine life.

Jesus said in John 10:34, “…Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”?’ Apostle Peter calls us “Partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4), while Apostle Paul says, “We’re more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37).

 Sickness, really, can’t and shouldn’t thrive in your body because Christ is the life of your physical body. 

The Holy Spirit in you already gave life to and vitalised your physical body (Romans 8:11). Believe and act on these truths today. Hallelujah!

🔊Pray:
Dear Father, you’re gracious and kind; you’re righteous, holy, just, and true. Thank you for your life in me, which makes me more than a conqueror; I live above sickness and disease.
 My life is excellent and full of glory. I walk in and manifest the dominion of Christ today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*❤️Be In Agreement With Him❤️*


*...For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear… Hebrews 13:5-6 NLT*

The instruction on what to do with God’s Word is very clear from today’s opening scripture: it says, “...for God has said... So we can say with confidence....” 

In other words, God has given us His Word so that we can say the same thing in agreement. 

Confession is speaking God’s Word in agreement with Him. This is how to get the Word of God working in your life. 

God’s Word is powerful, and it can take you from victory to victory. Therefore, speak it in boldness and faith no matter  what’s happening around you.
