Rejoice!

Friend, is there Joy in your soul?

Are you able to smile?

God wants us to rejoice because we know Him.

If we know Him as He wants us to, we will rejoice within and retain the state of Joy all though our days no matter what we face.

Why?

Because knowing Him, is life-altering for our soul.

Knowing the King of kings and Lord of lords; the Lamb of The Father, Who was slain for us; our Saviour-Redeemer is almost more than our insides can take!

Friend, remember that God is able to do anything and everything, that will help us to overcome anything He asks of us.

Being a Christian is not about getting blessings; even about getting healed or winning a million dollars.

No, being a Christian is about walking a path which Jesus asks us to walk with Him.

Why?

He wants to teach us things that change us into His Likeness; that help us to testify to others so the Kingdom grows.

Why?

Because this is our True destiny. It is our Holy Destiny to become like Christ and to show others the Way.

Why?

To save the unsaved others who are loved just as we are; to tell them that they are in a state of sinfulness but can be made whole; to be told that God has made a Way where before there was no Way - there was only the Law.

He wants us to read His Word.

Why?

His Word explains Who He Is, and reveals His Love for us.

It gives us encouragement; it satisfies all the questions; it illuminates His Promises to His followers.

The Bible is a beautiful Gift to us from The Word of God, (Jesus).

The Old Testament traces for us the geneaology of Jesus. It tells of prophecies for the future coming of Yeshua, Jesus.

God writes to us through holy men in those times who were so in tune with Him, that He gave them visions and encounters that proved to them His Existence and revealed His Character and Attributes.

We get an account of King David's boyhood and his life as King of the Israelites. We see David fail and fall and run from enemies but always keep his faith, which in turn shows us that God is a Forgiving God; a Helper in times of need and stress.

We are just like David, human, flawed, sinful but hopefully able to believe in Almighty God as David was.

David rejoiced in God. He wrote songs of which the words are so beautiful; Psalms is the result of David's artistic endeavours.

God said of David, "He is a man after my own heart!"

God was pleased with David.

We can be just like David and God will be pleased with us.

We have the New Testament now which proves Jesus is The Messiah.

Yes, we can rejoice!
