Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 23 August 2025 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Thieves Of Joy
TOPIC: The Thieves Of Joy (Seeds Of Destiny 23 August 2025)
SCRIPTURE: Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your association determines your celebration.
MESSAGE:
It has been confirmed that joy is an asset of irreplaceable value in the life of the child of God. If you lack joy, nothing can replace it – money, education, etc. cannot replace it.
Knowing the importance of joy, the enemy’s confrontation is usually against the joy of believers. The enemy fights joy in the lives of Christians using several channels. That is why our anchor scripture admonishes us to rejoice. That is, make the decision to be joyful because the enemy fights joy. You must be decisive and intentional if you want to maintain your joy.
The enemy uses several channels to fight the joy of the child of God. Today, we shall explore some of the forces that steal joy.
- The wrong input or intake. This is in the form of wrong information, news or whatever you put into your system.
Beloved, mount a guard over the gate of your heart. Remember, out of the heart are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23 Paraphrased). What you feed into your soul and spirit affects how you fare in life.
- The wrong association (1Corinthians 15:33). The people of your life can determine the joy of your life. Your association determines your celebration (1 Samuel 10:5-6). Association with depression can never produce the atmosphere of celebration.
- The attitude of ingratitude(Psalm 100:1-4). There is a connection between thankfulness and joyfulness. To be thankful is to be joyful, and to see no reason to be thankful is to see no reason to be joyful.
Beloved, do all within your power to defend your joy. Seek spiritual help to deal with the spirit of heaviness when necessary.
Remember this: Your association determines your celebration.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
- Determine to be joyful no matter what the situation surrounding your life is.
- Take out time to take stock of what God has done for you this year and give Him thanks.
- Avoid killers of joy in your life.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to remain joyful. I rebuke every spirit of depression and their activities around my life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
