Happiness Is...



People look for happines in many places and in various things. They look for happiness in relationships, possessions and achievements. They look for security in money, qualifications, knowledge and skills. All their happiness is just temporary and things never turn out as they expected. In the end it is all a  matter of chasing after wind.

There is only one way to have complete happiness and that is to know and follow Jesus Christ. 

The psalmist wrote in Psalm 34:7 "Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Don't become religious. Religion cannot make you happy, it can only give you false security and temporary euphoria.

Go after Jesus. Seek His company, His approval and His guidance. Follow and obey Him and you will find, joy,  happiness, peace, and fulfillment.

Seek Him in prayer. Obey His teachings as recorded in the gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent from all sin. Turn away from running after your own pleasures and ambition. Stop sinning and running after sensuality. Be holy, be baptized in water and seek the approval of Jesus. Always have Jesus on your mind. Long for Him and He will give His Spirit in you. You will experience His presence and fellowship. He will guide and teach  you, in all things and He will fullfill you. He will give you the desires of your heart.

My delight is to bring people to Jesus because I know it is the only way to have complete happiness.

Do you want happiness?

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.  Jesus knows us. He knows

just what we need to be happy.

Jesus is Lord. Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart.

May Jesus bless you.

Happiness and Contentment



Most professing Christians fail to
achieve contentment and happiness in Christ because they do not
understand what their purpose is. The Lord Jesus came into this world
and we read in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 5 it says: "Therefore
when He comes into the world He says:'Sacrifice and offering You have
not desired but a body You have prepared for me. In hole burnt
offering and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure. Then He
said behold I have come in the scroll of the book it is written of Me
to do Your will O God.'
The purpose for which Jesus came into
this world was not to realize Himself but to do the will of God, and
that is what we are called to do, the will of God. We are not called
to realize our desires and fulfill our personal goals. We are not
called to sacrifice ourselves for Jesus Christ, or for the kingdom of
God. We are called to do the will of God. That is why Jesus
said:"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and
all the other things will be added unto you." He teaches us the
Lord's Prayer where we pray "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven..."
Our purpose is not to satisfy
ourselves, not personal happiness, not achievement in life, but to do
the will of God, to bring glory unto Jesus Christ by remaining in
Him. Jesus said that we cannot be fruit if we do not remain in Him.
It is only if we remain in Him, in His will, being led by His Holy
Spirit seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, that we can achieve
that place of contentment and peace in Christ, where we know that we
are doing the will of God.
The only way that we can know that we
are doing the will of God is if we are led by the Holy Spirit, and if
we receive confirmation from the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Christ in
us, that we are doing His will.
Believers have many wrong ideas of what
it means to be a fruitful child of God, it is because they are not
led by the Holy Spirit. It is only when we are personally, each of
us, led by the Holy Spirit, and we fulfill the purpose for which He
has called us, that we can serve His purpose and that we can have
contentment joy and happiness in
Christ. We might be shunned by the world. We might be rejected by
other believers but as long as we are approved of by Jesus Christ,
then we can have peace in the midst of turmoil even though the whole
world is falling to pieces around us. Our peace should be because we
are in Christ, because our relationship with Him is right, because He
confirms to us that He is satisfied with us.
Are we receiving confirmation from
Jesus Christ that He is pleased with us? Are we serving the purpose
for which He has called us? Are we doing the will of God.
May Jesus bless you.

Happiness is


Happiness is knowing Jesus Christ and being pleasing to Him. Happiness is being approved of by Jesus, trusting Him and knowing that He will never let you down. Happiness is being content even when you have nothing and you have given up everything but you know that you HAVE Jesus Christ.
Happiness is hearing the voice of your Master IN THE STORM when your life is in turmoil and it seams as though everything is going wrong but you know that Jesus is with you, you have nothing to fear! There is nothing to be concerned about because Jesus is in control. Happiness is to know that your sins are forgiven and your Master is pleased with you. Happiness is to be able to sleep even in the storm.
Are you happy? Do you have Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Seek God Not Just His Benefits


The whole world wants the benefits of God, the good things, the good life, eternal life but they do not want God's ways. Jesus Christ is God's WAY. God sent Jesus Christ to come and show us the WAY to be children of God and if we want eternal life we will have to follow Jesus Christ and His ways.
You cannot have God's benefits without having God's ways. If you reject Jesus Christ and His ways you will perish.
Are you following and obeying Jesus Christ? Are you going after Him and after His ways or do you just want God's benefits. People seek eternal life everywhere BUT Jesus. Jesus said to the pharisees:”You seek the scriptures in there to find eternal life but you refuse to come to Me and have life. Have you found Jesus? Are you going after Jesus and His ways? Are you seeking His approval? Have you received His Spirit and are you led by His Spirit? Do you follow and OBEY Jesus? Do you go after Him every day?
Jesus is the WAY. He is the DOOR and He will say to many in that day:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.” Why? They didn't follow after Jesus. They followed after their own ways and they thought that they could have God's life without Jesus. Without Jesus you have got NOTHING. You have got no hope. Are you going after Jesus and God's ways or are you just seeking the benefits? Because in the end you will be a fool. He will turn you away and say to you:”I don't know you where you are from.”
Do you know Jesus and does He know you? Are you seeking and following HIM every day?
May Jesus bless you.
