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!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
