A Merry Heart

 

Text: Proverbs 17:22 (KJV)

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

If I asked you, do you like taking medication, your response will definitely be no; some people respond might be “I prefer injections to drugs”, while some will say, “I hate being sick”. We know all forms of medications are meant to make your body physically well, but the question is, did you know that you can get a permanent medication that treats the physical, emotional and spiritual? This special medicine is called a merry or cheerful heart, and it is given by God through the tablet of His word. You can pay a comedian or watch a movie to be happy, but it is only for a while.  When the show is over, the joy leaves you, but this kind of medicine of a merry heart gives you joy with or without any show or activity. I tell you, it is divine, and it has the power to heal any and every illness you might be going through. Amazingly, this medication also comes in doses and once you have taken the first dose, you will want to increase your dosage which is the juice of the Word.

The truth is, these doses can be seen in the word of God. Proverbs 12:25-Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. The joy you get from the first dose makes you take more, and that, in turn, makes you have joy unlimited. The beautiful part is that these doses make your words graced with joy, and that makes your joy contagious because it ends up spreading to others around you. Jeremiah15:16- Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. There is even a greater dose and that is from the Holy Spirit, which each and every one of us can tap into today. I tell you, there is more to this medicine, we just need to accept the first dose, and I pray we shall see a change in our health, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Oh Lord,I receive a fresh oil of gladness so as not to wait for the happenings around but instead to create one for my environment, in Jesus name.

2. Father, may it be known to me that Satan has no rightful power over my life despite the fiery darts of tribulation to depress me, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: You can live in gladness and avoid sad disposition for life.
