FOCUS: JOY

Our Spiritual Focus for the month of February 2021 is Joy.
Habakkuk 3:17-19

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me walk upon mine high places…”

Joy is a commandment!

“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.”
Philippians 4:4

A: Joy is the emotion you feel at salvation.

Joy is the barometer of your spiritual life.
Joy is a fruit of the Spirit.
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

Q: Why should I be joyful in the Lord?
A: The joy of the Lord keeps the presence of God. The joy of God in your life keeps and preserves your blessings.
It keeps the devil away. Habakkuk 4:19
