Open Heaven 26 May 2020: [Tuesday] – Choose Happiness
Memorise: If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
Read: John 13:13-17 (KJV)
13 Ye
call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If
I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one
another's feet.
15 For
I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he
that is sent greater than he that sent him.
Bible in one year: 1st Chronicles 26-29, Psalm 127, Hymn:
Sing hymn 3
Message
Today’s
memory verse makes us know clearly that we can influence our happiness. We can
also deduce that knowledge is a requirement for happiness and this knowledge is
from God.
Open Heaven 26 May 2020 – Choose Happiness
“If any of you lack wisdom, let
him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it
shall be given him… Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning.”
James 1:5, 17

Getting
knowledge too is a choice. There are people who have refused education despite
so much persuasion. Most of such people end up as failures and become unhappy
for the rest of their lives. It was however their choice. Likewise, some people
deliberately follow other gods and this too could be a source of sorrow (Psalm
16:4). As temporal as wealth is when compared with spiritual and eternal blessings,
lack of it may cause unhappiness. Even the Bible says “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the
lender” (Proverbs 22:7)
How
can you become happy and remain so? Beloved, it is not enough to have
knowledge; we must learn to do (John 13:17).
In
today’s Bible reading, Jesus taught His disciples a secret of happiness –
service to God and humanity. When you serve God and make Him the Lord over all
your affairs, you will be happy (Psalm 144:15)

You
would also be happy if you know how to get out of poverty in a Godly manner.
Act according to Malachi 3:10 which commands us to pay our tithes so windows of
heavenly blessings can be open upon the works of your hands.
Beloved, I encourage you to choose happiness
today. Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God and the Saviour of the world is
the only way to true happiness and eternal life (John 3:16-18).
Prayer Point
Father, I choose to be happy today; I come to You through Your Son,
Jesus. Please, give me Joy eternal.
