Cheerful Lifestyle

Transcript

Greetings in Jesus’ name. Welcome to this brand new day that the Lord has given us.
I pray that today we will be rejoicing in this new day. The Lord has commanded us that we rejoice each day that he has made for us.

When we remember the fact that this day is not created by our circumstances or by our enemies; it is created by the lord.
This is the day that the Lord has made. How are we going to rejoice in it?

There are going to be particular days when we have reasons for celebration; but just the fact that this day is made by the Lord, that He is the author of every second, every minute, every hour of our day should be enough for us to rejoice.
And when we have a lifestyle of rejoicing it begins to bring health and healing for our entire body.

Proverbs 17:22 – “Being cheerful keeps you healthy it is slow death to be gloomy all the time.” It is giving us a principle that has actually been proved in science.

When it comes to our personally joy we thing that it is not such a big deal, we compromise with it and we keep looking for external sources so that we can be happy on the inside.
This not how God wants our joy to be! God wants our joy to be coming from the inside out as a result of the joy in our spirit.

When we constantly work on being cheerful everyday, we will walk in consistency of health. Let’s take time to sit in the presence of God and enjoy and celebrate Him, be grateful; eventually we will see that the cheerfulness of our spirit will start affecting our health, our relationships.

Also, it says that it is a slow death to be gloomy all the time. I cancel the power of that gloominess over your life, the sorrow and the sadness that has taken over your soul. We need to intentionally rebuke sorrow and sadness out of our life. We need to treat sorrow and sadness like we treat sin.

The Bible says, “Consider it pure joy when you go through diverse struggles”. When people persecute you or when the enemy is hurting we need to celebrate. God is in the business of turning all your sorrows into joy and if you will continue to trust him, trust his power, his work in your life you are going to see victory beyond your wildest dreams and imaginations.

So everything that is keeping you gloomy, today we arrested it in Jesus’ name. We will not tolerate any more negativity. Our conversations within our mind, within our head has to be such that they are only giving importance to what God is speaking and how God wants us to live.

It’s not that we should not be sad or we should not grieve; whenever sadness comes we need to activate the joy of the Holy Spirit; the joy that comes from within. This joy will now begin to give you peace in your mind, health in your body, it will help every aspect of your life.

Prayer: Father we thank you for this grace, for this principle that you’ve taught us this morning. Give us the strength to be happy and healthy and to wholesome through the course of this day
Let there be no gloominess that will hijack our love for you or our love for the people around us. We give you all the praise in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
