Welcome to
the month of November 2017: Our Month of Unspeakable Joy!!!
“For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the
mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the
trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn
shall come up the fire tree, and instead of the brier tree shall come up the myrtle
tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that
shall not be cut off. ” Isa.55:12-13
“Whom having not
seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, believing, ye rejoice with
joy unspeakable and full of glory:” 1Pet.1:8
Precious Family, I
welcome you to the month of November 2017 which God has graciously tagged for
us our month of unspeakable joy. As I searched the scriptures to receive
understanding of what this month holds for us, my heart was so overwhelmed with
gratitude to God for such a precious gift as this month. For me, every change
in time is a gift from God providing us another opportunity to fulfill our
destiny in grand style. So many people had planned for this month without
receiving the opportunity to see their plans actualized. God has graciously
shown us that he does not just want us to experience a new month but to
experience it in fulfilment.
From our text above,
we see the prophetic word issued by God through the prophet Isaiah showing us
exactly how this month is going to be for us. God’s heart for us this month is
that we shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace and that the mountain
and the hills will break forth before us into singing and the trees of the
field will clap their hands. In my opinion, no clearer picture can be painted
of the mood God wants us to experience throughout this month. This speaks of a month of high energy; the
instrument for getting things done in the kingdom of God.
We all know that
vision is as good as a day dream if it is not pursued. It is the pursuit of
vision that brings about its actualization. This makes joy an indispensable
asset in the journey of life. This is the reason why we shall be studying to
gain understanding this month of this great asset meant for realizing our
divine abilities.
This month therefore
we shall be looking at a series I title: “Understanding
the Joy of the Lord”. Sincerely, the joy of the Lord is loaded with
countless benefits among which are: strength, fruitfulness, momentum and all
that makes the word of God to produce for us. From our text scriptures, the
mood the Lord wants us to enjoy this month is quite clear; as the good news
translation of the bible puts it: “… Rejoicing with a great and glorious joy
which words cannot express…” The beautiful thing about the joy of the Lord is
that it can be answerable to our choice. Therefore we can always choose to
rejoice. [Ps.9:2; Hab.3:18 & Php.1:18]. I believe that for many of us, this
truth can become our life styles for the rest of our lives. There is no greater
cause for joy indeed than the salvation of our lives from the chains of Satan.
[Col.1:13 and Jn.5:24]. In addition, as we continue with the Lord, our souls
are saved daily when we receive light and understanding from the word of the
Lord. [Jas.1:21 & Jn.8:36]. This month therefore, everything that has been
withheld from you because of your ignorance of this truth would be released to
you with the help of The Lord God Jehovah – the Covenant keeping God in Jesus’
mighty name!!!
For the benefit of
someone reading this to whom this to whom this looks out of place because for some reason, joy has
been a luxury to you, I have good news for you; it does not have to remain a
luxury; it can become your reality today but you must start by belonging to
God’s precious family today. Should you desire to take advantage of this
opportunity to belong, you can do so right away by saying the following prayer
out loud in faith and you will become born again at once:
Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on me a
sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the
dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour
and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus
Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
