Joy
When we go through difficult times, it is good to remember that it is at that moment that God commands us to be joyful. When we stand before Him in joy, the heaviness of unbelief falls away. Joy is the key to standing firm and to walking in every good thing the Lord has for us. Let us be helpers of people’s joy, rather than overlords of their faith.
The Kingdom Message
In the Church Age, a nominal Christian simply needs to believe in the Lord and accept Him as Savior; it is a rather passive existence. However, in the day of the Kingdom, the believer is going to press in with a violence of spirit, and there will be an absolute submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom Age will be characterized by the aggressiveness with which we pursue Him and make Him King over our lives and our relationships.
