\u2018\u2019BEING JOYFUL IN THE MIDST OF LIFE CHALLENGES\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Habakkuk 3:17-19<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.\u00a0 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. . .<\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The good Lord inspires me to remind you to go all the way REJOICING, <\/strong>being JOYFUL<\/strong> in the midst of all tears or trials of your FAITH<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

James 1:2-4<\/strong><\/strong>\u2018\u2019<\/em> My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing<\/span>\u2019\u2019.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For what you may be going through in life at this moment is the enemy at work to challenge your faith in God, and you must RESIST <\/strong>steadfastly in FAITH<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 Pet. 5:7-11<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen<\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord wants you to REJOICE<\/strong>, no matter the physical exhaustion or ailment, marital breakdown, spiritual instability, emotional trauma, business or career setbacks, financial mishaps and relationship friction or disappointment. Why?<\/strong> For it\u2019s the DAWN of your new day says the Lord almighty. Hence in Habakkuk 3:17-19<\/strong> the scriptures enjoins us on what to do in the event that life didn\u2019t turn out as we desire it to be: <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Fig tree did not blossom<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  • No fruit on the vines<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  • The labour of the olive fail<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Fields yield no food<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Flock cut off from the fold<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  • No herd in the stalls <\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  • Still REJOICE and be JOYFUL in the LORD of our SALVATION and TESTIFY of His WONDERS, even in the midst of your situation. <\/em>There’s a MIRACLE awaiting you!<\/strong>
    <\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    I prophesy to you and your situation that Joy is come and is welling. And all you need to do is to draw from it now to enhance you in achieving your next desired goal just as the following scriptures indicates:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Psalm 16:11<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore<\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Psalm 30:4-5<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning<\/span>\u2019\u2019.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    Psalm 126:5-6<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him<\/span>\u2019\u2019.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    Psalm 36:8-9<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light<\/span>\u2019\u2019.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    John 4:13-14<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>Jesus answered and said unto her<\/span><\/em><\/span>,<\/span> Whosoever<\/span> drinketh<\/span> of<\/span> this<\/span> water<\/span> shall<\/span> thirst<\/span> again: But<\/span> whosoever<\/span> drinketh<\/span> of<\/span> the<\/span> water<\/span> that<\/span> I<\/span> shall<\/span> give<\/span> him<\/span> shall<\/span> never<\/span> thirst;<\/span> but<\/span> the<\/span> water<\/span> that<\/span> I<\/span> shall<\/span> give<\/span> him<\/span> shall<\/span> be<\/span> in<\/span> him<\/span> a<\/span> well<\/span> of<\/span> water<\/span> springing up<\/span> into<\/span> everlasting<\/span> life<\/span><\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    John 7:37-39<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em>In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,<\/span><\/em><\/span> If<\/span> any man<\/span> thirst,<\/span> let<\/span> him<\/span> come<\/span> unto<\/span> me,<\/span> and<\/span> drink. He that believeth<\/span> on<\/span> me,<\/span> as<\/span> the<\/span> Scripture<\/span> hath<\/span> said,<\/span> out of<\/span> his<\/span> belly<\/span> shall<\/span> flow<\/span> rivers<\/span> of<\/span> living<\/span> water<\/span>. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified<\/span><\/span>\u2019\u2019.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    \u00a0For it\u2019s the amount of JOY<\/strong> you enjoy in the Lord that indicates your strength as a child of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Nehemiah 8:10<\/strong>\u2018\u2019<\/em> Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength<\/strong><\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/strong><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0Prosperity is great but LIFE is not in POSSESSIONS.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3 John 2<\/strong>\u2018\u2019<\/em>Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth<\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/em>Luke<\/strong> 12:15<\/strong><\/span> \u2018\u2019And he said unto them,<\/span><\/em><\/span> Take heed,<\/span> and<\/span> beware<\/span> of<\/span> covetousness:<\/span> for<\/span> a<\/span> man’s<\/span> life<\/span> consisteth<\/span> not<\/span> in the abundance<\/span> of<\/span> the things which he possesseth<\/span><\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Lord has promised to REJOICE<\/strong> over you and make His grace yours as in:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Zephaniah 3:17<\/strong> \u2018\u2019<\/em> The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing<\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/em> and Isaiah 61:1-3<\/strong> \u2018\u2019 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    For this is the month God has made that you might REJOICE and be GLAD in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Psalm 118:24<\/strong> <\/strong>\u2018\u2019<\/em>This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it\u2019<\/span>\u2019.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0Beloved, I pray that this day in this month that the Lord be your strength, give you a deer\u2019s feet and make you walk on high hills over your tears with His unspeakable JOY as in:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Habakkuk 3:19<\/strong> \u2018\u2019The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. . .<\/span>\u2019\u2019; <\/em>\u00a0I Peter 1:8<\/strong>\u2018\u2019<\/em>Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory<\/span>\u2019\u2019<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Be Amazingly Blessed, ever JOYFUL, rejoicing in the Hope of our salvation!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
