Beloved saints of God,
Greetings and may the joy of the Lord be our strength and may we celebrate and be celebrated in Jesus name.
The question arises why should we celebrate, particularly when there is so much around us that is saying otherwise.
As Christians, our God has instructed us to rejoice always (Phil 4:4) implying that, no matter what the enemy may say or do, nothing should take that inner joy of the Lord from us.
When we celebrate, we show forth the praises of our God, His goodness and His mercy to us who believe. The enemy is put to shame and God is pleased with our faith in Him, and He will show up for us in the nick of time. Halleluyah.
Remember Paul and Silas in prison (Acts 16:25-34) jailed for offenses they didn’t commit, who chose to celebrate God’s goodness in praise and prayer. God intervened for them, at midnight and delivered them by sending a prison-door-blasting-earthquake.
This month, God will show up in our situation too. Therefore let us celebrate that we are alive in Christ and not dead in trespasses, God’s fulfillment of His word in our lives (Jer 1:12), etc.
Let us count our blessings everyday and name them one by one and it will surprise us what the Lord has done. So celebrate the God from whom all blessings flow and be celebrated too.
Shalom,
Pastor Chris Ogali
