A HAPPY HEART AND A CHEERFUL MIND BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones (Proverbs 17:22 AMPC).
A disease such as cancer draws its life from depression, bitterness, anger, resentment, malice and sadness. But laughter, which is one of the easiest, quickest and instantly recognizable expressions of joy and cheerfulness, has curative powers. If people who are sick or faced with dire circumstances in their lives would act simply on Godβs Word by learning to laugh often, theyβll be amazed at the sudden change.
Thereβre those who havenβt laughed in a long time. Theyβve almost forgotten how to laugh. They look at their lives and conclude thereβs nothing to be happy about. In fact, theyβd feel guilty if they caught themselves laughing. They believe laughing is for those who arenβt serious about life. Yet, their stiffness hasnβt made life any easier for them.
God wants you to know from His Word that laughter is a healer. Your expression of joy is a good starting point for healing and restoration. Sometimes, when life seems to get tough, learn to pull back and laugh. Have a merry heart and a cheerful mind.
Interestingly, you donβt have to pray to God to give you happiness or cheerfulness; itβs a function of your recreated human spirit. You make yourself joyful with the Word of God. Remember, one of the fruits of your recreated human spirit is joy (Galatians 5:22); youβve got joy in your spirit; and laughter and cheerfulness are expressions of joy.
CONFESSION
Irrespective of the circumstances, Iβm full of joy twenty-four hours a day, for the joy of the Lord is my strength! Iβve been brought into a life of rest, with joy unspeakable and full of glory. The Lord continually fills my mouth with laughter and joy in the Holy Ghost! Glory to His Name forever!
