Written By Mercy Abuaja, excerpts from a sermon by Rev. Frank Eboagu
Philippians Chapter 4 verse 4
There are a number of reasons why people jubilate. At the end of a soccer tournament, the winning team jubilates while the losers will be in a sober mood. Apart from the team members, their fans will also share in their joy and join in the celebration. In most cases the fans tend to make more noise than the players. Why is this so? It is because of the value that they attach to the game of soccer. The irony of it all is that while the team gets a reward for their outstanding performance, the fans get no rewards. One of the reasons the winner team jubilates is because of the reward that comes with the victory. Generally, people jubilate over good news. It is my prayer that God will cause you to hear good news this season in Jesus name, AMEN. Not just good news but the one that you are a direct beneficiary of in Jesus name. Losers do not jubilate.This season, you will win every battle against the enemy in Jesus mighty name, AMEN. Beyond physical and material gains, God wants us to look at things that are of eternal value. Something that promotes the kingdom of God, for example, soul winning. When a soul is converted, heaven jubilates and the soul winner gets a reward for bringing joy in heaven. How often do you cause joy in heaven.
Friend, let your focus be on how to trigger off heavenly jubilation. Do not be carnally minded.
Physical jubilation can be temporal, but the one that has to do with the kingdom business is eternal and attracts eternal rewards. God wants you to be a kingdom promoter. This you can do by winning souls, encouraging fellow believers to serve God in spirit and in truth. Also, you can promote kingdom work by your labour of love in God's vineyard. Be more kingdom minded and less carnally minded and you will experience increasing joy in your daily work with God.
Till I come your way again next week, please, win a soul, encourage your fellow believer and remain blessed. Shalom
