ENEMY OF PRAISE { PART 1}

If you are joyful you will be praiseful . Devil tries as much as possible to to attack our joy there by reducing our act of praise to God.

How does devil attack our joy :

1. Hopelessness: is the arrow the devil uses to attack our joy . every time you become hopeless , you become sorrowful , when you become hopeless , you become helpless . when hope is lost , joy is lost .

How to overcome hopelessness : don’t listen to the people . don’t let them tell you that you have no hope . when devil comes to tell you things that are not working tell him God has not finished with you . tell him you know the thought of God towards you . Jeremiah 29 : 11 { I will bless you with a future filled with hope--a future of success, not of suffering.}

2. Offences : Rom 16:17 { My friends, I beg you to watch out for anyone who causes trouble and divides the church by refusing to do what all of you were taught. Stay away from them! }

Offences means to be angry, to be hurt. When you’re hurt, you can’t be joyful.

You can’t have joy when you keep offences. The cure for offences is patience. Don’t be quick to read to read meaning to things. Overlook transgression proverb 19 : 11 { Don't be a fool and quickly lose your temper-- be sensible and patient. }

3. love of money: it causes sorrow. 1 timothy 6 : 10 { The love of money causes all kinds of trouble. Some people want money so much that they have given up their faith and caused themselves a lot of pain.} the cure for love of money is to love God . money is your servant.
