TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“…No one can take away your joy.”
(John 16:22, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Life may not have turned out the way you planned, but you still have the power to be happy right where you are. God is the source of all joy, and when God gives you something, nothing in the world can take it away.
hat means other people cannot make you unhappy, no circumstance can force you to get upset. Nothing can take your joy; you have to give it away. You’re in complete control of your happiness.
Think of it this way: If somebody is rude to you, what they’re really saying is, “Give me your joy.” Somebody cuts you off in traffic, “Let me have your joy.” Somebody ignores you or leaves you out of a meeting; they’re just asking for your joy. You have a choice.
You can give it to them by going around upset, frustrated and offended. Or, you can make a much better decision and say, “No thanks, I need my joy. I’m not going to get upset because you were rude and didn’t speak to me.
I’m not going to be frustrated because you cut me off in traffic. I’ve already made up my mind that I’m going to live this day happy!” Instead of giving them your joy, give them mercy, grace and understanding. Give them the benefit of the doubt and keep your joy because only you are in control of your happiness!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today I hold on to joy. I refuse to give it up, and I refuse to let go of my peace. Give me Your strength today as I keep my heart and mind focused on Your love in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
Roses are red-ish, violets are blue-ish,Sata is PFool-ish. If it weren’t for Jesus, we’d all be Jewish.

That message is for Sata. He thought he can use some commandments to help him lead PF cadres. But things has turned wrong:
– Thy shall not kill…. But look at the PF cadres
– Sata stopped going to church, he not honoring his Sabbath
– He is not honoring his parents/ uncle = Sosala
– Sata is a false witness to his neighbor Kabimba.
Sata what people judge you on earth you be judged in heaven too.
Amen

Joel and oteen,why not tell the people about the comet ison coming our way. Lots of mystery there.
imwe, just study DNA and cells,then you will see the bigger picture to all the mysteries of the universe.
…That Zambia is land locked, why don’t we utilise presence of Chinese Technology, infrastructure and man power, coupled with our own millions of unemployed youths to build waterways that will bring in millions of tons of Zambian Cargo to our door step from abroad cheaply? Our neighbors with Ports like; Dar, Beira, Durban, Walvis Bay etc., are killing us with their enormous costs, coupled with everyday damage to shipments, pilfering/thefts etc. It is not an impossibility to start this new venture of creating our own CANAL (like Suez in Egypt) considering, we have rivers like Zambezi, Kafue, Luangwa etc., and thousands of young people roaming Zambian cities/towns aimlessly. Come on bloggers, what do you think? I for one is tired of everyday Politics, lets do something for a change…
Good point but wrong thread. Bring it up again somewhere appropriate. I’m with you.
Your idea makes a lot of sense. It is actually doable like Tazara. If human beings can go to the moon, if machines can be sent to Mars, digging a canal from either the Indian Ocean or the Atlantic ocean can only be an impossibility in unwilling minds. The idea is wise, feasible and practical. All it requires is a strong will and firm determination. Resources are very much available, all we need is to put them to good use.
Amen
Glory be to God for giving us joy through salvation. Amen.
Thanks and Amen!!
