* Speaker: Pastor John Kayode Abiodun
* Topic: Jesus the Joy Giver
* Psalm 16:11 →"You cause me to know the path of life; in your presence is joyful abundance, at your right hand there are pleasures forever."
* When you have Jesus, you have everything
* Many people confuse joy and happiness
→ happiness is transient and temporary
→ joy comes from within & only God can give it to a man
* Joy is the first noticeable sign you see when a man encounters the salvation that Jesus gives
* Matthew 2:10 →"When they saw the star, they were ecstatic with joy."
* Wherever there is joy, you find God
→ When you experience sorrow, just bring God into the situation and joy will show-up
* With Jesus in your heart, joy will never cease from your life!
* The completion of joy is found in Jesus
* John 16:24 →"So far you haven’t asked for anything in my name. Keep asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.”
* Nehemiah 8:10 → "He also told them, “Go eat the best food, drink the best wine, and give something to those who have nothing, since this day is holy to our Lord. Don’t be sorrowful, because the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
→ Even where there are challenges, joy will give strength
* Joel 1:12 → "The grapevine is shrivelled and the fig tree is withered, along with the pomegranate tree, the palm tree, the apple tree and all of the cultivated trees. Truly, joy has evaporated from Adam’s children.”
* When there is no joy, harvest disappears
* NOTE: God's desire is to give you joy to the full
