JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST 1 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” (James 1:2)
There is joy and there is joy in the Holy Ghost. Ordinarily, joy is a product of pleasing events. For instance, on her wedding day, a woman would still dance even if the choir refuses to sing. An inaudible song would play in her heart. The same thing applies when someone wins a new contract. I want pleasing events to happen to you everyday so that you will have joy. But way beyond that, I want you to have joy in the Holy Ghost.
Joy in the Holy Ghost is that joy that arises and is maintained supernaturally irrespective of time, place, and event. This means that even if moments that don’t provoke joy arise, you remain joyful all the same. Your joy does not fluctuate in response to external stimuli. You maintain your joyful state of mind even in the midst of contrary and overwhelming circumstances. A heart that is able to harbour and express joy even in the absence of a reason to do so is filled with the Holy Ghost.
This type of joy is one of the spices on your sacrifice that God demands. It is spiritual. It is called joy unspeakable. It is indescribable. When you enter into temptation, the Bible says you should rejoice. It means the time of temptation is when to express joy in the Holy Ghost. Naturally, you won’t feel like being happy at such times, but God says that is the best time to rejoice.
God is taking you to the level of joy that goes beyond what ordinary senses can comprehend. The joy of the Holy Ghost will fill your heart today. and it will rob off on everyone around you.
Word of Wisdom: When your joy does not fluctuate in response to external stimuli, you have stopped to be a spiritual baby.
Prayer/Confession: Holy Ghost, fill my heart with your joy, and let everyone around me see it in me and partake of it.
Further Reading: 1 Pet. 1:8

WE ARE ABLE MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ( 2Cor 3: 3-6)  3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.  4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:  5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God  6 ¶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament ; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life We should function according to our description. We should give life not condemnation

           ESTABLISHING YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES YOU IGNORANT. It has been a problem that men always like to do things the way the feel is right instead of knowing the way God wants it to be done. Obviously it would look good in the eyes of men but in the sight of God they are acting in ignorance because the abhorred knowledge based on God’s standard. There would never be anytime man could effectively work with God if he lives from his knowledge instead of God’s knowledge. Many have moved from describing God, to narrating God. Others have gone from being expository to being explanatory about God and finally argue everything and anything that does not align with their words from knowledge of philosophy, legalism or archeological reasoning about God. To understand God’s standards you have to graduate from living by your words from knowledge to understanding word that come from God which is word of knowledge. Words of knowledge gives knowl...

Some men who do not understand salvation have changed the meaning to suite their philosophical reasoning. No one can understand salvation with his or her mental agility without the role of Christ to man in the project of salvation. Christ did not come into this world to save Himself. Christ did not need salvation because in Him there is no sin. What is salvation? Salvation is the act of saving something or someone from something trying to kill or harm him. Just like a man or ship trying to drown in the sea. That ship or person needs someone who is more skillful or another ship that is more balanced to help them regain stability. Before Christ came, man was dead in sin. Separated and annihilated from God’s fellowship because of Adam’s transgression. 1CO 15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.. Christ saved the world from sin so that men could consciously enter into and everlasting rela...
