Pursuit of Happiness - True Happiness

There is more to life than fun and fortune - pursuit of happiness. This is true happiness and joy rooted in Gods Word. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" - Ps 119:105

He has a wonderful plan for your life and my life too. “Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?” - Matt 6:31.

Money and fame, fortune and riches will surely fade away but true happiness rooted in the word of God is what keeps us believers going.

Demonstrating Joy as a Believer

Did you know that joy serves as witness to others; of the promises and love of God? What He did for you, He can do for others as well. His joy should not be limited, but rather should be unleashed upon whosoever will receive and follow after Him.

“Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” Matthew 7:24-27.

The Importance of Joy - Experience Joy

Joy does not only stand to demonstrate to others our victory over various things, but also shows our relationship and right standing with God. Joy is essential in helping us conquer problems we face in life cheaply. See Power of Joy.

The Scripture is clear that if God is for us, who can be against us? The key is to make sure God is for us, and to know for sure, we need a relationship with God. He demands obedience from us to His ways and instructions. Our goal should be to please God daily. “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31. Nobody!

Power of Joy - Its Potency

Previously on our Joy series, we talked about Joy – Cheap Key to Success. Today, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we'll be showing you the potency of Joy as a believer. Do you know that if a community decide to mourn for a whole month, destructive things could happen - People could loose their lives, the plant in the field could wither? and many more could die via the absence of JOY! Trust me. Now, quickly open your bible to Joe 1:10-12: it says

Joy – Cheap Key to Success

Welcome to Word of God for Today series on Joy. We’ve discusses what is Joy in our previous post – Finding Joy. We also emphasized that the human body / our physical being will do anything possible to find JOY. Do you know that Joy could be a cheap key to Success? That been joyful alone can take you to your destination faster than been filled with sorrow? 

David won the Crown against Saul on the altar of Joy. He was a joyful lad - always singing.  He says "I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being" - Psa 104:33.

He danced and removed his royal robe in front of his entire subject just because he was joyful in praises to the Most High God.

Finding Joy - The word of God for Today

I’m glad to welcome you to yet another week as we take our ride on the wings of Joy.  We’ll be taking an in-depth study of the word FINDING JOY and how it applies to the believers life. "JOY" is what we seek every day.  We often dodge into relationships, career, kids, and material possessions to find true and lasting joy.  

So why is it that so few of us manage to find the joyful spirit that we so actively see?  Dr. Paul identifies joy as something that comes from within us.  Read further to learn the basis of developing the inner joy, the joy of the spirit.
