/ Without Label / HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE - His Holiness, The Most Revd. Dr. Rufus Okikiola Olubiyi OSITELU


 Beloved,
How To Choose To Be Happy In Life:

• FAITH TRIUMPHS IN TROUBLE. "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1). Jesus says: "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulations, problems and challenges, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world". (John 16:33).
Always remember that there is nobody on this earth that does not have problems. You are not the only one that has problems. As a Christian, Lord Jesus Christ has already overcome for you. Be happy.

• EVERYTHING HAS ITS OWN TIME. "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man, but God is faithful, Who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13). Temptations and challenges are part of life. It is only a dead man that has no challenges. Don't worry, God will make a way of escape and turn your challenges into Testimonies. Be happy.

• PROBLEMS, CHALLENGES AND TRIALS ARE FOR OUR PROFIT. "Brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience." (James 1:2-3).
There is no problem that has no solution. There are solutions to the challenges, trials and pains you are passing through.
After every trial, you will be elevated in all ramifications. Therefore, be happy.

• BE COURAGEOUS. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7). The way you picture yourself in your mind can affect your happiness. Picture yourself as a valuable and beautiful person. Avoid low self esteem and inferiority complex. Love your neighbour as yourself, means that you should love yourself and then love your neighbour as yourself. You are specially created by God, be happy.

• BE FAITHFUL AND REMAIN FOCUSED ON CHRIST JESUS. "So Jesus answered and said to them - Have faith in God." (Mark 11:22).
Do not mind about what people say about you. Some people are sadists. They can just say somethings just to make you feel sad. Whatever the situation may be, continue to "rejoice in hope, patient in tribulations, and steadfast in prayer." (Romans 12:12). And be happy. When you are happy, your distractors will be sad. Again, I say, be happy.

• JESUS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying - I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12).
Make friends with reasonable people who make you happy. Do not make friends with people who make jest of you or laugh at you over your challenges.
Therefore, "Do not be equally yoked together with unbelievers or wicked people. For what Fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what Communion has light with darkness?" (2. Corinthians 6:14). Walk in the light of Christ Jesus and be happy.
.
• MEDITATE IN THE BIBLE. "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8).
At your leisure time, keep yourself busy with your favorite hobbies like reciting the BIBLE passages or listening to Sermons and meditating in it. "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things." (Philippians 4:8). And be happy.

• DON'T BE INTIMIDATED. "Do not be intimidated by anyone and let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in purity." (1. Timothy 4:12).
Do not allow anyone to intimidate you with money and material things. A poor man today can become rich tomorrow. Change IS the only thing that is constant. And be happy.

• BE HOPEFUL. "Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5).
No matter what you are passing through today, do not give up. As long as there is life, there is hope. And be happy.

• PRAYER IS THE KEY. "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1. Thessalonians
5:16-18).
Be very prayerful. Pray without ceasing. Prayer is your way of communicating with God. Prayer is a catalyst that can speed up your blessings to come to you on time.
Be courageous to go for what you want. Life is all about risk. If you don't take calculated risk, you may not get the desires of your heart. No risk, no gain.
The choice of Life or Death, and Happiness or Sadness is yours.


"I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you Life and Death, Blessing and Cursing, therefore, choose life, that both you and your descendants may live. And that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days."
(Deuteronomy 30:19-20). Be Happy!

HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE. THERE'S NO KEY TO HAPPINESS. THE DOOR OF HAPPINESS IS ALWAYS OPEN. EITHER TO ENTER OR NOT, THE CHOICE (DECISION) IS YOURS!
BE READY TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR CHOICE!
