Faith Capsule: A believer that is full of word should be full of joy.

Philippians 4

Joy and rejoicing should be the identity of a true believer, a believer that is full with the word of God. A believer that truly knows God, a believer that worships Him in the spirit shall be one that knows to maintain joy. The book of Philippians buttressed, “For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” (Philippians 3:3) Also, rejoicing in Him regardless of any confronting situation is the evidence of trusting God that does not fail. One that is full of self cannot possibly have a space for the Word of God. To be full of the word of God is to be full of God. Without doubt, a believer that is full of word should be full of joy. God spoke in Joshua 8:1, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” One that meditates on the word of God as commanded by God should carry God’s word and be joyful. The word of God is full of promises that are set to become manifested if man gives self to the condition of His promises. It is important to believe that the word of God (promises of God) cannot fail, locate God’s promise concerning your challenge, believe that your situation is solved while it is yet unsolved and keep rejoicing.

Habakkuk 3:17 documented a confronting situation “Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls.” The situation documented is not one that anyone would not like to be in. It can be compared to having a place in the depth of a valley where there seems to be no way out, and no end in sight as to when the time of rising and climbing out of the depth of valley. There is no one that wants to plant a tree without yielding fruit. Regardless of the situation, Habakkuk 3:18 testified, “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Allow the testimonies of God to fill you that you may be full of joy and rejoicing as emphasized by Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!”

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you with the spirit of rejoicing in every area of your life.
