CELEBRATION Isaiah 9:1-7
Devotional:- “You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil” (V. 3)
When a people are celebrating and rejoicing, something must have happened to them. It is either they have received a new blessing from the Lord or they have conquered their enemies (Psalms 126:1-3; Isaiah 9:3-4). That is why we must stand in victory to keep our celebration and joy.
As a people standing in victory, we don't wait for anything to make us rejoice or celebrate. We live by faith of our great expectations of both victor and blessings (Romance 1:17). We don't allow situation to dictates our mood. We create what we want to see in our life today and the future according to the word of God, by standing in victory every day (Proverbs 23:18).
Friend, don't let anything that is happening or not happening tamper with your joy and celebration. Your joy and celebration is an instrument of strength (Nehemiah 8:10). It opens you up to light or divine ideas for your progress and victory and so you can plan with it. Your joy is the mystery of your blessings (Isaiah 12:3). Your joy is what guarantees your coming harvest (Psalms 126:5-6). In the midst of all situations, rejoice (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). You will make it in Jesus name. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to keep operating the wisdom of joy.
“IT IS JOY THAT KEEPS YOU IN TOTAL JOY”
