THE OIL OF GLADNESS

THE OIL OF GLADNESS


TEXT: Psalm 45:6-8

INTRODUCTION
If you derive your joy and happiness from earthly things, then you will forever be miserable. If Job relied on earthly things as his source of Joy, he would have committed suicide when his own wife told him –Job 2:9 – “Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. Job 2:10- But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.”


OUTLINE 1: STOP MURMURING
Show me those who murmur and I will show you those who displease God. Murmuring does not help but kills you. Exodus 12:1-12. In 1 Samuel 30:1-9, David and his soldiers returned to their home at Ziglag and found out that the Amalikates had invaded their homes and taken their wives and children captive, David did not seat down to say God why me, what have I done to deserve this, the bible said – David inquired of the LORD what to do ( I Samuel 30:7-10). Be like David, instead of murmuring, ask God what to do and do it. Psalm 86:7

OUTLINE 2: OIL OF GLADNESS THROUGH PRAISE
Psalm 45:7 – “Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

Those anointed with the Oil of gladness are addicted to praise. They simile in the midst of great difficulty:

David: He was one man that went through a lot in life, but you will never see complain because he addicted to praise. David never praised God or did anything for God because of what to expected, he just loved and praised him for who He is – Psalm 42:1 – “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?  No wonder he danced before God anyhow and never gave regards to whether he is a King or not.

Stephen: Acts 7:59- And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God,] and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. {7:60} And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Jesus: Jesus carried the Oil of gladness all through. With nails in his hands and legs and pains he said – father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.

Conclusion: In this world ye shall have tribulations, but be of good cheers because I have overcome. (Story of a family that lost all four children (Boys) in collapsed building last week in Lagos). Pray for God to anoint them with the Oil of gladness to overcome.

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
