Pastor Paul Adefarasin The Fight for Joy
Pastor Paul Adefarasin The Fight for Joy: The fight for joy is the fight for your joy in God. Some doctrines teach that anything that makes you happy is right and you should fight for it. Joy in Christianity is wholly centered on God.
The pastor teaches that genuine Christain happiness does not idolize Joy. According to the bible, anything that makes you extremely happy is a god to you. The question now is ” What is your God?, What makes you extremely happy?
Speaking further, Pastor Paul tries to make us understand that only God can truly make us happy. Every other thing or person can only give us temporal happiness. We ask, how can God make us happy. The answer lies in when we make God paramount n our life. Until we see God as the pre-eminent in our lives, we will continue to fight for joy.
Taking us through the book of 2 cor 1: 24, he gave us a reason why that although we have joy in God, we must fight to maintain that Joy regardless of any situation. he added that faith and joy are interwoven. We can only have joy in God when we have faith in him and we can only have faith in who we delight in. In essence, as Christians an essential element of our faith is Joy in the Lord.
