BE HAPPY


Merry making is a sign of Joy and happiness. A merry heart shows soundness in the soul and spirit. It is a sign of well being and wholesomeness. It is to exhibit a cheerful countenance. It is good for you to be happy and joyful. As someone said, life is too serious to be taken seriously. Take your time to be happy and joyful. There is always a bright side to every event in life. Each time you are joyful, your nerves relax momentarily from every form of tension or stress. The bible says. "A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance and doeth good like a medicine"(Proverbs 15:13, 17:22). Youths who are always cheerful have a better chance of living a healthy life.
  Singing is one of the best ways of appreciating God. It is also a way to express our joy. The merry heart must sing psalms and spiritual songs to praise the Lord. Spend today singing inspirational songs with cheerfulness of heart. God says, " Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the lord" (Colossians 3:16). A merry heart with spiritual songs of praise will add value to your face today as you go about your work. You can sing songs of praise in every situation because the joy of the lord is your strength.

Challenge: The joy of the lord is my strength.

Prayer: Dear Lord, give me a cheerful countenance as you bear my burden for me

The covenant we ought to make (meat for the soul)

What is covenant? Covenant is an agreement, either between people, or between God and a person or a group of people. When we deliberate deeply on our lives, we realize that most of our relationships with people involves a covenant, and we may be conscious or unconscious about it. In fact, the life we are living in our societies today is a covenant. People are getting along today because everyone is keeping his or her own part of the covenant. For instance, as a normal citizen of a state, you adhere to the laws and customs of the state, and the state in turn protects your rights as a citizen and provide social amenities for you. This is an example of a covenant. You are keeping your own part of the covenant by abiding to the laws of the state, and the state will keep its own part by protecting your rights as an abiding citizen whenever it is infringed on. You can see that there is an agreement. What is the purpose of this agreement between the state and the citizen? The purpose of th...

Let's reciprocate his love

This new year, we should avoid requesting for love and blessings without any plans on how to reciprocate such love. As we have crossed over into the new year, we look onto God and pray for healing, prosperity, progress, success, provision, happiness, wealth, and lots more. All these things we demand are what will make us happy, but we don't care about how to make the one that gives us all these things happy. Many don't care about the happiness of God; they do the will of men and not the will of God. This year, as we demand blessings from God, let us endeavor to make him happy also. The peculiar thing about the love of God is that he loves every one even those that are living in sin, he still loves them. But his pain is that sinners won't be able to make Heaven, because Heaven can never accommodate unrighteous people. You know how it feels when a man loves his wife dearly, and his wife fails to give him attention. It makes the husband unhappy, but he continues to endure and...

Our new garment in 2019

Happy new year everyone! I congratulate everyone that crossed over to this new year, and I pray that the grace of the Almighty God will continue to direct your paths this year. I could remember that young boy with a bright future. He was very intelligent, his academic scores were excellent, his was full of life, everything about him was just going fine and he was happy. It was unbelievable and a rude shock to me when the news of his demise got to me on easter Sunday 2018. I was unstable and I asked, " what happened to that handsome and happy boy? A boy full of life, no one saw his death coming, no one expected it, but the fact is that he is gone. Now we have crossed over to the new year, and we pray and ask for prosperity and developments in every aspect of our life, and we ignore the most important aspect of our lives. We see it as old fashioned or that we are still young for that, or that we know that it is important but we keep it aside till we achieve our ambitions.  That i...
