SERMON
* Speaker: Pastor John Kayode 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; at your right hand there are pleasures for ever more." (American King James Version)
* With Jesus in your life, joy is sure
* Joy is the opposite of sorrow
* Joy gives strength
* Joy is essential to the life of a believer
* Satan is the author of sorrow and is in fact interested in our sorrowing
* God can intervene and bring you joy.
* Examples of Manifestation of Joy
1. When God meets and surpasses your expectation
2. When God makes a way where there is no way by making the impossible to become possible
3. When the irreversible becomes reversible
4. When God decides to visit you
★ Luke 19:1-10 (Jesus pays Zaccheus a visit)
* God is the only one that gives joy not like the world gives
→ The world at best, can give happiness which is temporal
→ Happiness and joy look alike,
* Conditions for Getting Joy
1. Salvation
→ Genuine joy comes through having a relationship with God
→ The most noticeable thing When you receive Christ is a fullness of joy and peace in your heart
* Without Christ, there will be crises in your life
→ Note: Jesus has no substitute - it is either you have Him or not
* Without Christ, there will be confusion, but with Him, everything will be alright
# Prayer:
"Let there be More of Jesus in my life"
