Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2025 MESSAGE
Joy is a crucial asset of irreplaceable value in the life of the child of God. Joy is something that cannot be replaced. That is, if you lack joy, nothing can replace it. Neither money nor education can take the place of joy in a person’s life.

No wonder, joy is usually a subject of enemy attack in the life of the child of God. The enemy fights the believer’s joy because of the relevance of joy. That is why our anchor scripture admonishes us to rejoice. That is, make a deliberate decision to be joyful because the enemy fights joy.
The enemy uses several channels to fight the joy of the child of God, and today, we shall explore some of them.
- The wrong input or intake. This is in form of information, news or whatever you feed into your mind. Beloved, mount a guard over the gate of your heart.
Remember, out of the heart are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). What you feed into your soul and spirit affects how you fare in life. There are things you don’t need to watch. - The wrong association (1Corinthians 15:33). The people of your life can determine the joy of your life. Your association determines your celebration (1Samuel 10:5-6). Association with depression can never produce the atmosphere of celebration. Avoid the atmosphere of depression.
- The attitude of ingratitude (Psalm 100:1-4). There is a connection between thankfulness and joyfulness. To be thankful is to be joyful, and to see no reason to be thankful is to see no reason to be joyful.
Beloved, if the devil wants to show you what is not working in your life, show him what is working – the breath of life in you is intact; you are not in the grave, etc. Show the devil also what God did for you in the past that he (the devil) could not stop. Show Him what God has in store for you from the scripture. And if the devil could not stop what God did for you in the past, he lacks the capacity to stop what God is planning to do for you now.
Beloved, do all within your power to defend your joy. Seek spiritual help, when necessary, to deal with the spirit of heaviness.
Remember this: Your association determines your celebration.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- Determine to be joyful irrespective of the situation around you.
- Take out time to recall what God has been doing for you and give Him thanks.
- Avoid killers of joy in your life.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for what You have done for me. I receive the grace to remain joyful. I rebuke every spirit of depression around my life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
