SERMON
* Speaker: Pastor J. K. Abiodun
* Topic: Jesus the Joy Giver
* Text: Psalm 16:11 →"You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
* One of the lessons of Easter is the joy that Jesus brought
* Jesus has given us victory and joy over all issues of life
* If Jesus is missing from your life, you cannot know joy; the best you can experience is happiness
* Happiness is temporary and dependent on circumstances
☆ Generators of Joy
1. Divine victory
2. Surpassed expectations
3. When the impossible becomes possible
4. God's visitation to you
☆ Conditions for getting joy
1. Salvation (Revelation 3:20)
→ without salvation, joy will not come
→ without Christ, crises will come
2. Holy Spirit's Baptism
→ This is a necessity for all believers
→ Before the advent of the Holy spirit, the disciples of Jesus were fearful
→ Acts 1:8
→ The baptism of the Holy spirit Can come upon you every where
→ A Christian without the Holy Spirit is powerless
→ When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, He fills you with joy and empowers you
→ Without the Holy Spirit, you cannot go far
→ Joy is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)
