Is it possible to find happiness in this troubled world?

Happiness is a state of contentment and pleasure.

Some people believe that they can only achieve a state of happiness if they have money and material possessions.

But, as you might have known by now there are many wealthy people in the world who are miserable and unhappy.

So how can you attain happiness?

The Bible has its own unique definition of how you can attain happiness. Let us examine some of them.

• Believe it or not, happiness comes when the Lord corrects you (Job 5:17).

The Lord wants the best for you and He has a great plan for your life.

Therefore, if you are straying from the right path that God plans for you, He will correct you.

Therefore, do not despise the chastening of the Lord.

• When God blessed you with children you should be happy because children are a heritage of the Lord (Psalms 127).

If you are unable to conceive this does not prevent you from being happy because it is an opportunity to adopt or foster children who are in need.

• You will be happy when you live a holy life unto God because He will reward you with favor and blessings.

You will eat the labor of your hands and overall it will be well with you (Psalms 128).

• Happy are you whose God is the Lord Almighty, maker of heaven and earth (Psalms 144:15)

• When your hope is in the Lord, you will be happy (Psalms 146:5)

• You will be happy when you have wisdom and understanding (Proverbs 3:13-18).

The Bible states that if you lack wisdom you should ask the Lord and He will give it to you.

Pray that God will empower you with His spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (James 1:5; Ephesians 1:17-22).

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Proverbs 29:18)

• When you are merciful and give to the poor you will be happy (Proverbs 14:21)

• You will be happy when you suffer for righteousness sake.

You do not have to be afraid of the terror of the enemy because they cannot harm you (1 Peter 3:12-15).

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. (1 Peter 4:14)

As long as you have the peace of God you will be happy.

Are you happy?

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.

You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
