TOPIC: JOY, THE ENHANCER OF PRAISE

Phil 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice."

I think it is important at this juncture to examine one important key that facilitates praise. As we mentioned yesterday, praise has the capacity to open the door of any prison. It carries in it the power to break any chain of Satan. If you pray and nothing happens, switch to praise even if you don't feel like it. But what is the secret of praiseful lifestyle
irrespective of challenges?

Joy is the secret. This is where the devil steals our miracles. He shows you things that are not working so as to rob you of your joy. When you are not joyful you cannot be praiseful, when you are not praiseful you cannot be Godful and when you're not Godful you cannot be wonderful. Praise works wonders; the more you are joyful, the more doors open for you.

You have to maintain your joy. Remember, joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness is conditional and temporary. It can be influenced by the current state of the mind, but joy on the hand is everlasting. Joy doesn’t depend on the amount of money in your bank account neither does it waits for everything to be working fine before you are joyful.

If you must secure God's Presence, you need to guide your joy; that is what the devil is yearning to steal from you. It is not your car, your house, your job, but your joy. With joy you can get all those things back; so guide your joy with jealousy.

PRAYER: Every yoke of depression to keep you down is broken off your life today, in Jesus name.
