THE MESSAGE
TEXT - Philippians chapter 4 verses 4
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 16
Rejoice evermore.

When God says something, there is enough power to perform it. Psalm 62:11,God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. When God says something twice, He wants us to pay special attention.

No matter what is happening, the word of God stands forever; the word says, rejoice always and again I say rejoice, in every situation, you can find joy in the Lord.

WHY IS GOD ASKING US TO REJOICE?
He does not want the situations and circumstances of life to dominate us, He wants us to be in control. If you are rejoicing in the Lord, you will focus on God that is unchangeable.
Because He is unchangeable, He can change every situation that is confronting us.

People in the world can be happy because of what is happening to them but when the good things are not happening they will be in sorrow. As the children of God, joy is our inheritance.

Isaiah 61:10, I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation.
Salvation brings joy.

Your focus must be in the Lord.
God is more powerful than your situation or problem, your problem can never be more powerful than God.

He has your destination in His plan. Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

It doesn't matter what you are passing through right now, your tomorrow will be alright in Jesus’ name.

REJOICE IN SORROW.
The joy we are referring to is not an absence of sorrow, but God bringing joy in sorrow.
2 Corinthians 6:10, As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.
Rejoicing in the Lord will bring hope, hope will bring faith and faith will bring trust in God.
Job 13:15, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.

No matter what you are passing through right now, let the joy of the Lord be in you because that is what will make you overcome.
Paul was in prison while he was writing the letter and he could write to the Philippians about rejoicing and using joy as a weapon against his problems.
If you focus on God, no matter what you are passing through, you are coming out in Jesus’ name.

BENEFITS OF REJOICING.
1.THE JOY OF THE LORD GIVES US STRENGTH IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.
Nehemiah 8:10, Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
The Lord Almighty will renew your strength today in Jesus’ name.
You will soar like an eagle.

2. THE JOY OF THE LORD IS A WEAPON IN TIME OF WAR.
2 Chronicles 20:21-22 three nations came against the nation of Judah, God told them to appoint singers and rejoice, they rejoiced in the Lord and not in their power or connections, God sent ambushment against the nations and turned their defeat into victory.
Whatever you are passing through is not yours because God will fight for you in Jesus’ name.
You are coming out of every defeat today in Jesus’ name.
You are coming out of every battle confronting you in Jesus’ name.
If we focus on God and rejoice in Him, He will take over our battles.
When you honour God, He comes into the scene to honour you in return.
PRAYER POINTS.
i.Father, as i rejoice before You, send Your ambushment against every adversary of my life.
ii.Father, move me from victory to victory.

3 REJOICING KEEP SICKNESS AWAY.
Proverbs 15:13, A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Proverbs 17:22, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
You will never suffer the loss of a loved one in Jesus’ name.
You won't be in sorrow in Jesus’ name.
Sorrow is like anger, you can never take a right decision when you are sorrowful.
God will turn your sorrow to joy
PRAYER POINTS
i.Father, take sorrow far away from me and my family in the name of Jesus.
ii.Father, please, remember those that are mourning at this time, turn their sorrow to joy.
Give them oil of gladness in the name of Jesus.

4.GREAT DELIVERANCE.
Mark 5:2-8, the story of a madman of Gadarene, he worshipped Jesus. Worship is an act of rejoicing and immediately, the Lord Jesus Christ intervened in his affair.
PRAYER POINT.
i.Father, as I worship You today, let me experience total freedom from sickness, disease and poverty.

5. OPEN DOORS OF PRISON.
Acts chapter 16.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Some are in prison healthwise, financially, maritally and ministerially.
God will set you loose from prison today in Jesus’ name.
You will come out totally in Jesus’ name.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
You will enter your morning.
This Is the morning of your joy and you will not miss it in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT.
i.Father, as I worship You today, open every prison door (physical, marital and ministerial) in my life in the name of Jesus.

6. WHEN WE REJOICE IN THE LORD, WE RECEIVE A DIVINE TOUCH.
2 Kings 3:15-18.
God will speak to you today in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINTS.
i.Father, as i worship You today, turn my defeat to victory in Jesus’ name.
ii.Father, as i worship You today, let me experience divine touch.

7. REJOICING IN THE LORD CAN PUT AN END TO BARENESS.
1 Samuel 1:18-19 Hannah had an encounter with God at Shiloh and her countenance changed from sorrow to joy.
As you rejoice at this moment, your sorrow will turn to joy.
Every bareness will cease in your life in Jesus’ name.
You will begin to be fruitful from today in Jesus’ name.

8. REJOICING CAN CHANGE HOPELESS SITUATION TO TESTIMONY.
John 11:41-44, the case of Lazarus - when Jesus got there, He said Father i thank You and the next thing was testimony, and Lazarus came out.
Have you ever thank God in a hopeless situation?
Have you ever thank God when you are in difficulty?
Have you ever thank God when it seems there is no way?
Every virtue that is dead in your life will come out again in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT.
i.Father, only the living can praise You, keep death away from me and my family in Jesus’ name.

HOW CAN WE REJOICE?
1. By singing and making melody in our hearts unto the Lord, 2 Chronicles 20:22.
2. By giving thanks to God. Matthew 15:36, when He gave thanks, what was not enough became more than enough.
As you begin to worship God, every lack will become a stranger.
3. By dancing before God.
Jeremiah 31:13, Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Rejoicing in the Lord is the gift of the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22.
You can’t rejoice in the Lord without Jesus Christ in your life, you can only rejoice in your flesh.

You need to give your life to Jesus.
The joy of a sinner, Job 20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
A sinner can’t have permanent joy.

Ecclesiastes 2:26, For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God.

If you surrender to Jesus, God will be the controller of your life and sorrow will be far from you.
I appeal to you to make a decision to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and give your totality to Him and He will accept you.
He said He will not cast out he that cometh to Him

PRAYER FOR SALVATION.
If you surrender now, you can bow your head and say:
Lord Jesus, I will begin to serve You.
Father Almighty, receive today as many as have given their lives to You.
Save their souls.
Write their names in the book of life.
Give them power to sin no more.
In Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.
Send your name and phone number to the number on the screen.

LET’S PRAY.
Father, as i worship You today, You are the Lord of Hosts, arise for me Oh Lord.
Father, as i worship You today, let every shut door open on their own accord.
Worship God for at least 30 minutes after this program.

Father, we just thank You for today; thank You because You are the spring of joy, You are the source of our joy, hope and our sufficiency, we have confidence in You that as we rejoice in You, You will do the impossible, incredible and You will surprise us, Lord Almighty, as Your children rejoice in Your presence, do the impossible in Jesus’ name.
Heal the sick in Jesus’ name
Deliver the oppressed in Jesus’ name.
Terminate problems now in the name of Jesus.
Father, give us a new beginning as we rejoice before You today.
I decree that things of joy will never depart from their lives in the name of Jesus.
Thank You gracious Father.
In Jesus' mighty name we have prayed.
AMEN!
Praise ye the Lord.
HALLELUJAH!

God bless you!
