Oil of Gladness

Psalm 45:7

“You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions.”

Joy has everything to do with righteousness. It is spiritual. It is something that only God can give. It brings calm even in the midst of storms. The joy of the Lord makes you confident and energetic notwithstanding your present situation. Joy is something you can’t explain. It is sustained in your relationship with the Master. When you get disconnected from God, you can tell that something has gone wrong when you check your joy. You’ll notice that your joy has been tampered with. Your joy is linked with your salvation.

Joy is a fruit of the spirit. This affirms that joy stems out of a relationship with the Master. Nothing on earth can give joy but Jesus. He makes your soul bubble in the midst of storms. He makes you sing when everything around you is saying something else. He makes you dance, when it’s difficult to.

Only Jesus alone can give you joy. Get connected to Him today.

Are You Eating Well?

1 Peter 2:2

“As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.”

In other to grow in stature as humans, we eat. Have you seen someone who doesn’t eat, yet grows?

Your stature is a product of what you take into your system. Your health is dependent on the nature of what you eat. Many fall sick, because of the kinds of food they eat, while some enjoy sound health because they know what to eat, and what not to eat.

They say “Garbage in, garbage out.” That’s very true. You look what you eat. In the same vein, if you want to grow into spiritual stature, you must be ready to eat spiritual food. The spiritual food being talked about here is the word of God. How much of God’s word do you ingest daily?

“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Room.8:6

The best spiritual food you can ever take is the word of God. Be a committed reader(and doer) of His word today!
