SERMON NOTES
* Speaker: Pastor John Kayode Abiodun
* Topic: Jesus The Joy-Giver
* Text: Psalm 16:11 - You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
* Without Jesus, there is no joy.
* The natural habitat of God is where there is joy
☆ Conditions for getting joy (con't)
1. Salvation
2. Holy Spirit's baptism
3. Soul winning
4. Dwelling in The presence of the Lord
* There are blessings that come with the presence of God
→ of the blessings is getting fullness of joy
5. Abiding in His love
→ One of the most noticeable traits of a believer is the manifestation of love for God and for others
* You cannot claim to be a Christian and harbour malice of hatred in your heart against others
* God takes the issue of love seriously
* Love is the summary of the law
→ You may not be able to remember all the Laws, but if You love God and others, You have covered a lot of ground
* If you don't love, you can't forgive
* Love is practical, it is not just theoretical
* If you love somebody, you will seek the highest & best welfare of that person - You will not harm that person deliberately
→ He expects you to do the same
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
[Additional thoughts by Pastor 'Lola Owotumi]
* When you abide in God's love, you will not miss a blessing
* Challenge: Seek out an unlovable person that you will show love to today
★ 1 Thessalonians 5:25 →'Brothers, pray for us.'
