LIGHT FOR LIFE DEVOTIONAL

Scripture:

Habakkuk 3:17-19

[17]Even though the fig trees are all destroyed, and there is neither blossom left nor fruit; though the olive crops all fail, and the fields lie barren; even if the flocks die in the fields and the cattle barns are empty,

[18]yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will be happy in the God of my salvation.

[19]The Lord God is my strength; he will give me the speed of a deer and bring me safely over the mountains.

THE FUEL FOR TURNAROUND

There is no situation that is a closed case until joy is withered from the hearts of men.

Good morning, Lighthouse family. Welcome to your season of unlimited grace.

Nothing is more hopeless than a joyless situation. I have found that in every temptation, in every challenge or opposition, the enemy seeks to sap your motivation and your joy. Once joy is killed the case is closed. When joy is revived there is hope again.

Joy is the sickle of harvest in the midst of a crisis, joy is the wiper on the screen of confusion, it is the purifier in the fire of opposition, it is the catalyst in the process of life. If you loose anything never loose your joy.

Joy is an inner state of the heart that draws life from the truth that you have been set free by the blood of Jesus. It comes from the assurance of salvation. Joy blossoms from knowing that you are God's own child no matter what. Many times we loose hope because we forget that we are God's children and as GOD'S children in all circumstances even when we make mistakes God our Father is always on our side.

God is for you so rejoice. When you feel sad and disappointed, deliberately look for something positive in the same situation to rejoice over, deliberately thank God in the condition, deliberately think of something interesting to change how you feel physically, play a song, watch an exciting movie, play a game but most potently pray in tongues over the issue. When joy is revived, there is hope for a turnaround. This is your place of encounter, joy will turn things in your favour.

Prayer

1. Father I thank you because you are always for me no matter the circumstances around me, thank you Lord.

2. Holy Spirit I receive grace to remain joyful at all times in Jesus name.

3. Lord we speak heal and deliverance over the nations of the earth in Jesus name.
