“JOY SHARED IS JOY DOUBLED”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“I have said this to you so that my joy may be in you, and your joy be complete. ‘This is my command: that you keep on loving each other just as I have loved you.'” (John 15:11-12)

Adonai Yeshua declared: His purpose for telling us these things is so that the joy that He experience will fill our hearts with overflowing gladness! So this is my command: Love each other deeply, as much as I have loved you, said Jesus!

The craving of humanity has not changed with the passage of time. We all seek joy.
We always have and will continue doing so.

We resort to various means to find that joy.
But the joy that we seek is so nearby, we can in fact find it and enjoy its companionship always.

Joy comes by loving and helping others.
You will find this to be true if you do accordingly. Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, demonstrated love through His loving, caring and sacrificial life.

In just the three and a half years of His earthly ministry, Jesus not only made a resounding success of His short life, but also left joy with us after He ascended to heaven.

Would you love somebody today?
Would you show kindness, compassion and care to someone today? Remember that you cannot love someone without a cost.

To get or give love, you must pay for it and that is where the joy comes from.
To be gentle on others, you must forebear their offences against you.

To be kind to others you must forgive their wrongs.
To meet the needs of others, you must be sacrificial. This is why you cannot be gentle, kind or caring towards others without first loving them truly.

We invite you to be part of this special life of Christ. Learn to give others joy. The joy you share is the joy you get. May the Lord find us faithful in giving others joy for His glory in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

Everybody shout, “AMEN & HALLELUJAH!”

Shalom and good morning.
