Spirit and Life Devotional: Choose To Be Joyful

Must read

Spirit and Life Devotional is a daily publication by Pastor Chinaemerem Ibezim, senior pastor of Able Ministers Chapel, a church based in Calabar, Cross River State. 

“Always be joyful.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16 NLT

The Bible says that we should always be joyful. Meaning that it is up to us. It means that we have the ability in us to be joyful irrespective of what’s going on around us. Our joy should not be dependent on anyone or on anything; no one at all should be responsible for making you joyful!

Joy is actually one of the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in us, according to Galatians 5:22. So when the Scripture says that we should always be joyful, it says that with the understanding that when we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, we can live in a constant state of joyfulness.

Don’t let your mood be affected by the prices of commodities in the market; refuse to let anything at all rob you of your joy because you have a Father with whom nothing is impossible. That’s why Jesus was able to sleep in the storm! Everyone was nervous and jittery but Jesus was fast asleep; they even had to wake Him up! O, in all things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us! And we know, that all things work together for good, to them that love God; to them who are called according to His purpose! Hallelujah!
