MEMORISE: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Romans 12:15
READ: Romans 12:11-16
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 5-8
MESSAGE:
Instead of being jealous of a fellow’s success, be happy for him/her. It is necessary genuinely rejoice with others when the occasion calls for it so that they can also rejoice with you someday. Your happiness for others does stop you from being blessed, so you d not have any reason to grumble or be angry at the success of your friend. Philippians 1:6 says:
“Being confident of this very thing: that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”
This is an assurance that God’s blessings for you are true. Your sincere happiness for others should encourage you to believe that soon, your day of joy will come. It will also help to eliminate any trace of jealousy/envy towards others.
Therefore, rejoice with those who are rejoicing, knowing that your heavenly Father will honour His word in your life.
KEY POINT:
Celebrate with others, knowing that your time will come.
HYMN 1 – Be Glad In The Lord And Rejoice
- Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
All ye that are upright in heart;
And ye that have made Him your choice,
Bid sadness and sorrow depart.
CHORUS
Rejoice! Rejoice!..
Be glad in the Lord and Rejoice!
Rejoice! Rejoice!.
Be glad in the Lord and Rejoice!
- Be joyful for He is the Lord,
On earth and in heaven supreme;
He fashions and rules by His words;
The “Mighty” and “Strong” to redeem. - What tho’ in the conflict for right
Your enemies almost prevail!
God’s armies, just hid from your sight,
Are more than the foes which assail. - Thơ’ darkness Surround you by day,
Your sky by the night be o’er cast,
Let nothing your spirit dismay.
But trust till the danger is past. - Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
His praises proclaiming in song:
With harp, and with organ, and voice,
The loud hallelujahs prolong!
