Joel Osteen Today Inspirational 13 January 2024 Message
Welcome to Joel Osteen Today’s Inspirational Message for Saturday 13th January 2024. Be inspired with God’s Word and be blessed!
Are you letting things upset you that don’t have to upset you? Are you giving away your power, letting what people do determine whether or not you’re going to be happy? You need to take control back of your happiness. Quit putting it in someone else’s hands. If you’re counting on everyone to treat you nice and be kind and say good things in order to be happy, you’re giving them your power. But you control your happiness.
You have to make up your mind, no matter what people do, no matter what they say, how they treat you, they’re not going to steal your joy. They may not want to be happy, but they shouldn’t keep you from being happy. They may be rude, angry, disrespectful, but you can’t let their issues sour your day. Let it bounce off of you and enjoy your day in spite of what they do.
You could be at a destiny moment. If you keep worrying your prayers, begging God to change things, discouraged over what’s not happening, that can keep you from your purpose. Look back over your life. There’s not a time when God has failed you. It may not have been easy, but He made a way. He sustained you through the loss. He had mercy on your mistakes. He opened doors you couldn’t open. He brought awesome people into your life. Why are you doubting Him now? Why are you worrying your prayers?
Start adding thanksgiving to your request. Be a Jonah, thank God in the midst of the challenge for what He’s about to do. Be an Abraham, give God praise when the promise looks impossible, when you see no sign of it. Believe what your Heavenly Father promised You. Don’t keep asking again and again. Take Him at His word.
TODAY’S PRAYER: “Father, thank You that Jesus is the author of my story, and He will finish what He has written for my life. Thank You that Your plans for me are good, to give me a future and a hope. Help me to get my story in line with the story You have written for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Listen now to this message from Joel, “Thank God Before the Promise”:
When you pray, God sets the miracle into motion. Believe that what He promised is already on the way.
