Let us always be joyful.
That is the Lord’s command.
This is what the expression on our faces is going to be.
That is the solution to all our problems.
Let our joy be perfect,” adds the Lord to confirm the truth of what he had already told us.
This means that nothing should shake our state of mind,
no situation should worry us to the point where we lose sleep.
The question we want to ask you, Dad: have you forgotten that we are men made of flesh?
How can you ask us to be so insensitive, so cold to the core, to the shocks of our lives?
You mean you don’t see the disasters in the world?
Don’t you see the diseases, the wars, the floods that devastate the earth?
Don’t you see the quarrels in families,
the fights in relationships,
the disappointments that shatter hopes…?
The world is in turmoil…
Tell us Yaweh, how can we find the perfection of joy in the midst of all this?
The answer that comes from the throne of grace may be very simple for us, but it is truly authentic.
Jesus implores us to focus on him and on the gospel that shows us and teaches us.
The more we learn about Jesus Christ, the more we have faith and want to be like him.
The closer we get to Jesus, the more we understand that he is our source of inspiration and healing.
The more we are at the feet of Jesus, the more we stop seeing our difficulties as mountains that cannot be smoothed away.
Beloved, what we have come to say to each other this morning is decisive for our entry into the new season.
Everything that bent us backwards in 2024,
The stench we gave off from the permanent loss of blood in 2024,
The paralysis that kept us apart and killed our prayer life in 2024,
The sterility that belittled and humiliated us in 2024…
These pains, these stresses, these frustrations are not death.
It’s just for a while.
Nothing should disqualify us from the King’s table.
The master doesn’t need an eternity to change an entire context,
to dismantle an entire system,
to restore an entire country…
God does not see as we do, and he would just like you to learn to appreciate our moments of intimacy, which must be of quality.
He would like us to trust him because nothing is impossible for him.
So why do we panic?
Why do we think it’s too late, it’s all over.
Brothers and sisters, if we are still in control,
if we are still in our comfort zone,
our Redeemer cannot yet rise because we do not yet need him.
Our God intervenes when things are spoiled,
when things are rotten, when bitterness has set in,
when our families and friends have abandoned us,
when the doctors have already concluded…
That’s when El Elyon makes his entrance… with power and authority to overturn the predictions of our adversaries,
to re-establish the divine order.
Why are we afraid?
Why do we allow doubt to overcome us?
These events are not death,
it’s just a wind blowing,
it’s just the intimidation of the enemy.
Our God is too faithful to spoil his name,
Our God is too honest to trample on his word,
Our God is too loving not to reach out to us.
His power is violent,
His power is reliable,
His hand is formidable,
His voice is majestic,
His intervention is swift and pointed.
It’s a giant like that we want to play with?
He’s very imperturbable when it comes to letting traffic jams get in the way.
He said he’d make our enemies our footstool,
let’s stick to that and stop giving ourselves over to the jaws of the wolf.
His promise is true and nothing will harm us.
Job, 5:22 – You will laugh at destruction and famine, And you will not be afraid of the beasts of the earth;
No situation will make you lose your laughter.
Our eyes will be so fixed on the Lord that any situation will be of no value to us, so small it is to disturb us.
So we wish ourselves to hug Jesus very tightly.
It’s always a step towards maturity.
Hello friends
Good day to you
