Your Success And Joy Are His Dream

Not that I speak in respect of want:for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content (Philippians 4:11).
Someone once asked me, "Is it really possible to be full of joy all the time?" Very quickly, I responded, "I’m joyful all the time!" Then, he said, "Don’t you think that’s a bit unrealistic?" "It depends on what reality is to you," I responded.

For some people, reality is their human experience, but our reality is Christ. In Christ, it’s possible to be joyful all the time. You can be joyful every day, and be successful every day, irrespective of what happens to you or around you, because that’s God’s desire for you. He wants you to be joyful and successful.

We will worship the Lamb of glory



We will worship the Lamb of glory
We will worship the King of kings
We will worship the Lamb of glory
We will worship the King

And with our hands lifted high
We will worship and sing
And with our hands lifted high
We come before You rejoicing
With our hands lifted high to the sky
As the world wonders why
We'll just tell them we're loving our King...Oh
We'll just tell them we're loving our King

Partnerships. (Part 5): We must always, always respect agreements, and contracts.....

In the book of Joshua, there is a story about a group of people, called the Gibeonites, who managed to secure an agreement with Joshua and his leadership team, by false pretences. When the leadership of the Israelites, discovered what had happened, they were furious. The intriguing thing, is what happened next:

Joshua 9:18-20 (Living Bible, The - TLB)
18 ...... The people of Israel were angry with their leaders because of the peace treaty.
19 But the leaders replied,"We have sworn before the Lord God of Israel that we will not touch them, and we won't.
20 We must let them live, for if we break our oath, the wrath of Jehovah will be upon us."
