Psalms 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
We are in a world full of challenges, troubles and trials and a whole lot of persons have lost the ability to be joyful because of what they see and what they hear. Never allow the trouble of life deprive you of your divine identity in Christ.
To be happy is different from to have joy because happiness is based on happenings around. You don't wait for good things to happen to be joyful its bedded deep down in you. Things may not look good but still your joy is intact.
Joy is the inner satisfaction of pleasure and peace that a believer has inside of him or her. This joy is a function of the presence of God within and around the believer. The Holy spirit is the source of our joy. Out of your belly shall flow rivers of living waters. This ever flowing river is in every believer.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
We may have trouble in this world that is guaranteed, Note this that coming to christ is not an escape from trouble. We will have trouble and tribulations in this world but the joy we have in the face of trouble is that we have won already before the trouble.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
A lot of Christians don't enjoy this joy because they are too conscious of their troubles and forget the truth about who they are.
We have limitless joy because we dwell in his presence always. One of the fruit of the Holy spirit is joy. When you have the Holy spirit you have joy.
Take your eyes of the world and look to your inside to tap from this river of joy. People will be amazed with the way you live because they see trouble around but you see different. When you are supposed to cry they see you smile, this was the joy the early apostles enjoyed that in the face of persecution and death they never complained but carried the gospel to the world not minding their life and the lack they went about the business of the kingdom with joy.
John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
