Title: Receive His joy unspeakable
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
When the Holy Spirit which was sent by the Father in the name of Jesus Christ dwells in you, He produces fruits or results in your life. In other words the Holy Spirit is not passive, He is active. Where He is present He shows or declares Himself present. You will never remain the same.
Point of Reflection:
One of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit is joy. The word of God describes this joy as unspeakable or inexpressible. 1 Peter 1:8 declares (KJV): 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:”
The Amplified bible describes this joy as a thrill and inexpressible, triumphant, glorious and heavenly:“Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy. 1 Peter 1:8 AMP
Joy is critical for the child of God. The word tells us that God the Father showed Jesus Christ the joy He was going to experience after accomplishing the mission of salvation for mankind, and because of the joy of mission accomplished he endured the cross and despised its shame. What sustained Jesus Christ through His suffering of pain, humiliation and death on the cross was the joy that was placed beyond the cross.
We should look unto Jesus Christ as our example: Hebrews 12:2 NKJV tells us "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” The joy sustained Him. It must sustain you too.
Remember the servant given five talents who worked with them and got five more, the master said to him in Matthew 25:21NKJV "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’”When you are faithful over few or little things not only will God give you rulership over many things but He will also multiply your joy in the process. Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire to experience joy inexpressible, joy unspeakable, triumphant, heavenly glorious joy? When you engage with God in being faithful over few, He will make you ruler over many more and will multiply your joy in the process. Commit yourself therefore to seek His word, meditate upon it, to pray for salvation of souls across planet Earth, to partner with God in communicating the word of God. Desire to be filled and empowered by His Holy Spirit. When you are ready-
Prayer of Commitment:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending your Son to suffer and die for us on the cross. I confess the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today. I denounce the enemy satan and his demons from my life. I desire Father to be filled and empowered by your Holy Spirit and I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now. I commit myself to you, to be faithful over few things knowing you will make me ruler over more and will increase my joy. I celebrate today the joy of your salvation. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
