A Little but Powerful Story About My Life: Staying Strong Through Joy…
It is Friday, another weekend and the end of the month of May. And you’re like God, why? When are you going to change my story?
A wise man once said, "It is profitable to learn from others' experiences and mistakes, in that way you escape becoming a victim ahead of time." I'd like to share a secret that has helped me overcome obstacles in life: the secret of joy and rejoicing in the midst of challenges.
The enemy fears a person who remains joyful in difficult situations, as it confuses and disorganizes him. Therefore, embracing a lifestyle of joy and rejoicing is crucial to frustrating and overthrowing the enemy.
My personal story is a testament to this. After secondary education, I moved to the city of Yenagoa to start anew. I soon realized that I had been living in bliss and pure haven with my parents, where everything was provided for me. But in the city, everything changed. I had to work multiple jobs, including one where I supplied Coca-Cola drinks from shop to shop, street to street. My hands would swell up each day, and I had to soak them in hot water to ease the pain. Despite the struggles, I never lost my joy.
Here's the secret to unfailing strength, hope, and bravery: never lose your joy. When discouraged, remember that everyone has their battles, and only divine intervention can help you fight yours. Be joyful and brave, and understand that no obstacle can stop God's agenda for your life.
Carry God’s presence by continually emitting joy and praises to Him. God inhabits the praises of His people. Always put on the garment of praise and you’ll carry His presence which automatically dismantles the works of the enemy out of your life. When your joy is continually full every other thing naturally fall in place when you least expected it to happen.
An ever joyful person can never be stranded because with joy you continue to draw water (blessings, favour, etc) out of the wells of salvation. Sir, this has been my survival secret for years.
To be filled with joy and remain unmoved by circumstances:
1. Totally surrender your life to Christ, your Savior.
2. Be filled with the Holy Ghost, the embodiment of the Spirit of Joy Unspeakable.
3. Be bold and brave, facing every situation as the one who decides the outcome.
4. Allow God’s word dwell richly in your spirit. Let His promises be to you a constant reminder of His faithfulness. And finally,
5. Trust in the integrity and power of God to perform, and the Bible said; David encouraged himself in the Lord and his next battle was a victorious one. Learn to encourage yourself with a smile.
