STAY IN JOY NO MATTER WHAT (10)
After overcoming the initial challenges of nursing two babies, more babies began to sign up for Mummy’s care. She now had one caregiver. At one point, the number of children increased to ten. What a growth.
Then something unique happened: The first one that was to transition to school wrote Mum a letter (obviously, it was the parents that wrote in the boy’s voice).
The baby boy appreciated Mum for her exemplary care and wished Mum could start a nursery school so he and his friends would not have to leave Mum’s watch and care. It was another tough one.
For years, Mum had shown her passion for children. She could not ignore that nudge. She eventually succumbed. Today, her school is a blessing to many also. She is now an employer of labour.
Beloved, if you lose your joy, you will lose the fulfillment of known and even unknown dreams. Sorrow will lead to forgetfulness. You will lose the strength to receive divine signals. The Lord would want to do greater things with you, but your state would tie the hands of divine moves. If you want to see the Lord at work, ensure joy is in place.
There are prophecies hanging over you:
Job 8:7 NKJV
[7] Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
Isaiah 60:22 NKJV
[22] A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one will be a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
Joy is a major key that unlocks increase. See what Jeremiah the Prophet said:
Jeremiah 30:19 NKJV
[19] Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
You are crying for multiplication. Great!
Show me your altar of thanksgiving.
Will you start giving thanks now?
