PLB'S CONFESSIONS 104- JOY


Joy is an outburst of happy emotion. Joy is usually expressed outwardly in dancing, singing, jumping and sometimes crying (happy hot tears😭). Happiness is benign joy but joy is an eruption of happy vibes and juices which is expressed outwardly. You can be happy and keep it to yourself, but joy, you can't keep it to yourself, it'll take you over! Joy usually knows no bounds in it's expression.

As a Christian you already have this joy inside of you! (We blessed man, we blessed😊). Galatians5:22 declares that joy is a natural fruit (result) for God's kids. We don't pray or ask for it, we simply activate it from within by CHOOSING to be joyous! Dazall!

James1:2-3 says to COUNT IT all joy when we pass through diverse tests. This means it's a matter of choice for the Christian to be joyous, you can decide to consider it as bad or as an opportunity to grow and improve your life. This is not a case of "I'll be happy if things were going alright" kinda talk. This is a case of being joyous irrespective of what you're going through knowing that all things are working together for your good as God's child.

For the natural man challenges and trying times may make him miserable and even kill him but for God's kids the Bible calls challenges "tests", "trials", "bread". We absolutely outclass any and every challenge in might and wisdom and God is confident we've already won ever before the challenges began. So we are to be joyous IN the trying times and keep dancing and enjoying our lives.

You can affirm the joy of the Lord in you with these words below:

I'm a child of God
Therefore I have joy in my spirit as a spring
No lifeless, boring times with me
Heaven is in me, the joys of heaven are springing in me
I have joy unspeakable and full of glory at all times
No matter the challenges I go through, I have already won!
I won when Jesus won, so I've got my garment of praise on
And praising God in victory!!!
Hallelujah!

A bientot,
Pastor Lams 😎.

Priority information

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
