Joel Osteen Devotional 5th February 2025 Wednesday Message
Today’s Topic: Always Rejoice
Scripture: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4, NIV
Today’s Word
When the apostle Paul wrote today’s Scripture, he had already been held in prison on false charges for several years. He’d also survived a shipwreck on the way to prison in Rome. You would think that he would be discouraged, surely he’d be complaining. But he was telling us that even when it doesn’t go your way, just keep giving God praise, keep thanking God that He’s working, and keep being grateful when you could be complaining.
Keep thinking victory when you’re seeing defeat. Happiness is not dependent on what’s going on around you; it’s dependent on what’s going on inside you. What kind of thoughts are you thinking? “I’ll never get well. I can’t break this addiction. I can’t be happy after this loss.” You’re thinking yourself discouraged. If you’re going to live happier, you have to tune that out. You can’t take in negative all the time and stay in faith. Paul added, “Think on things that are of a good report, things that are positive, hopeful.” Our thinking the right thoughts is the key to our happiness.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that no matter what my circumstances are that I don’t have to live discouraged and frustrated and unhappy. Thank You that You have made this day and I can rejoice and be glad in it. I will choose joy because I know You are in control. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: God has made you very powerful. The question is how do you see yourself: strong, confident, favored? Or do you see yourself as inferior, can’t do it, at a disadvantage? You have to turn that telescope around. You’re making everything else so powerful; you need to start seeing yourself as powerful. “Joel, you don’t know how I was raised, what I’ve been through. The medical report is not good. I don’t have the funds for college.
This giant is too big.” One touch of God’s favor can turn it around. One slingshot and that giant is defeated. One mother with the favor of God and the city is changed. You’re looking at how big your problem is, but you need to start looking at how big your God is. He said He’s with you, and He has made you very powerful. You are anointed. You are favored. You can defeat giants. You can change cities. You can take your family to a new level.
