MESSAGE:
Happiness is a temporary feeling. but joy is long-lasting. God did not say it will all be colourful when you are His child. In His word, He said that trials are a test of your faith, but His will for you is to rejoice and give thanks in any circumstance. I know it may be difficult to rejoice when you are passing through tough times, but you need to hold on to the joy of the Lord because therein lies your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Staying moody and sad when you have a challenge will affect your relationship with people, and they might start avoiding you. Learn from Paul and Silas, who praised God when bound in chains in prison, and they got help from above (Acts 16:25-34). So, rather than be sad or moody when going through trials, rejoice.
Do you know that the devil is happy when you are sad? Don’t give him room to be happy over you. Rejoicing also shows that you are confident that God can save you because it means you are not concentrating on the situation but on God.
KEY POINT:
When you rejoice in trials, you are likely to overcome on time
HYMN 16: Breathe On Me
- Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love the way you love,
And do what you would do. - Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until my will is one with yours,
To do and to endure. - Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life
For all eternity.
