Joy: The Immune System

Just like we physically have an immune system in our physical system, we also have one spiritually and that is Joy. And the way it can be compromised thereby we lose strength to go about day to day activities, so also can Joy be and we can lose spiritual strength to do the things of the spirit that please God.

You can lose joy if you choose the lies than the truth of God. It doesn't take too much to be knocked off your horse if your guard is loose. The devil hunts to and fro, just to see an opening where he can launch his attack. The attack is so subtle that you want to know it was an attack until you start to discover that I'm not me.

You know that you are a joyful person, but right now you're filled with anxiety and insecurities. You start questioning the promises of God if they are indeed true. That's it right there - symptoms of a weak or compromised immune system.

There is a loophole that has been spotted and filled with lies to gain access to steal, kill, and destroy your faith, hope, and promises by ultimately damaging your Joy. Nothing makes sense to you. Peace becomes a scares commodity.

But Glory be to God who has sealed us with the Holy Spirit, clothed us with the garment of praise, and anointed us with the oil of gladness. The Lord is interested in us being strong and well.

He makes the Holy Spirit help us to the understanding that we've lost something. He makes us see the hole because He's more than ready to restore. But we must first come to the consciousness that something is missing and we're longing to have it back. Then He takes over.


One way to get your Joy back is by Understanding and acknowledging what the Lord has done on Thanksgiving. Giving praises, hymns, and worship in spirit and truth. Acknowledging that you lost something due to carelessness and sincerely apologizing to your Father in Heaven. Praise and thank Him. He'll show up.

Another thing to do is consistently trusting the truth of the Lord keep your immune system strong to defend against any attacking lies. The truth you've known will keep you back on your feet when knocked down. The truth fortifies you to keep you going.

The beautiful thing about the immune system is that when compromised and it recovers, it forms a natural defense against that pattern of attack, except that the immune system is very weak.

The way people boost the immune system with a good diet and vitamins, Joy can also be boosted by feeding on the truth of the word of God and praying in the spirit. Have and build up your Faith - it is health and strength to the spirit.

Protect your immune system with the necessary precautions and when attacked and compromised, make haste to recover by applying faith - thanking God through it. It is dangerous to stay sad as a child of God.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!

Shalom!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
