“Being sick and tired of life is as a result of not being Joyful”

There is a powerful key to being healthy which is being joyful. If little things are just getting you angry, you won’t live a healthy life. When someone takes medicine, it is either to cure a sickness or prevention from falling sick. Joy is the medicine that can make you live in health. It is the best medicine for you (Proverbs 17:22).

Do you know that through research scientist have find out that a happy person lives a healthier life than a depressed person. When you are depressed, you lose energy quickly and before you know it, you fall sick. When you are joyful and happy, you will be full of strength. Sickness will have no place in your body and your mind.

Do not murmur and complain about everything. Do not even allow people around you complain about how the economy is going down the drain. It will affect you if you join them. Change the subject or change your location by leaving. Be around positive people, pursing positive things. Be around people with purpose.

Look at the Israelites in Numbers 16, all the people that joined Korah to murmur and complain were the ones that the ground opened up and swallowed them. When you murmur and complain, you are burying yourself alive. You have concluded in your heart that there is nothing you can do or no one can help you. Whatever you continually complain about you have hanged a signboard written shutdown over that area. Nothing will work. Your body will shut down. Your mind will shut down as well.

When you are full of joy, strength enters your body and your mind. You start to get ideas and energy to work on those ideas. Remember, the joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10). This joy is of the Lord, it is not from men or from circumstances. Since it is the joy of the Lord, spending time with Him activates joy. Things that affect others and makes them feel depressed won’t affect you.

I have praised my way out of ulcer pains. The pain came especially when I was not joyful. It came when I was worried about certain things to do. I mean it was legitimate worries. But the devil does not care why you worry as long as he can use it against you. So I went to a secluded place to pray about it but God said I should just praise him and be joyful. So I did that but the pain was still there. I did not give in to the pains. As I was walking back to my hostel, I was greeting people, laughing with people and being happy more than people who were healthier than me. When I woke up the next morning, it was gone. It could not stay. The problem you are facing, you will see them no more if you will just stop worrying and start being joyful and full of praise.
