Psalms 21:1
“The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord ;
And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!”
Beloved, victory does not create joy. JOY CREATES VICTORY! Hosea said that in a situation where the fig tree would not blossom, I choose to create joy around me (I choose to rejoice), knowing that my joy will definitely create the victory (the situation I really wanted).
The devil will always want to steal your joy. Why? Because he needs your sorrow and sadness to create fear. God did not give you the spirit of fear. The devil knows God does not work with fear. He works with your faith and your obedience.
Having the Holy Spirit is key for ensuring your joy is complete. So does having a revelation of Christ and how He is at work for you. You cannot live your life based on your fleshly mood. Joy is a conscious choice you must make. You and l must make this choice at all times. “I sing because I’m happy…”. Such is for the juveniles. Step into the level of, “I’m happy because I sing…”. That is the level of the sons of God.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
