Extended Joy
Nehemiah 12:43 – And they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and children also rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.
It is certain that you will rejoice this month through the sweet victory that God is giving to you. But for your joy to be greater, you need to appreciate God for all He has been doing. You need to offer sacrifices to God. These days, sacrificing to God is not like the old days. The basic sacrifice the Lord demands from us is the sacrifice of our ‘self’ to Him, and then others can follow. Psalm 4:5, Psalm 51:17, Romans 12:1.
Experiencing extended rejoicing is a product of appreciation. The more you appreciate God, the more you rejoice. In the yesterdays, the Lord gave you victories and salvation from different issues of life, have you appreciated Him? Did you offer sacrifices of praise to Him? Did you offer sacrifices of substance to Him? Did you offer sacrifice of your ‘self’ to Him?
Beloved, offer sacrifices to God for you to have greater joy. Start by offering your ‘self’ [your time, personality, body, feelings, talent and lots more]. As you do this, joy unlimited will overshadow you. Shalom!
