"Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!"

Luke 15:6 - NKJV

There's rejoicing in Heaven so let there be rejoicing on earth at the news of a salvation. Rejoice with Jesus over each one who returns! Rejoicing like this helps establish the return of the one returning. There is a spiritual dynamic at work in rejoicing. Jesus and the apostles commended us to rejoice in every situation where release is needed! Rejoicing over God's work among men loosens the devil's hold both on those who are rejoicing and those rejoiced over. Ja.1:2-3.

Imagine the difference in our churches if everyone took time daily to rejoice over those in the church who were spiritually returning to Christ after straying away. In Jesus' parable of the Lost Son, the father gave no lecture to the son, not even a comment, he just ordered immediate preparations for celebration. This is how it ought to be in our churches. If it were, our churches would become constant scenes of spiritual partying!

Let there be a rejoicing in the churches! You'll find rejoicing over the one who has returned will lead you into prayer for the one who has not yet returned. Soon you'll have someone else to rejoice over. Jesus rejoices over our return and we can rejoice over one another. We have more cause for rejoicing than any other people on earth! Ask the Lord to show you who you're to be rejoicing over today. Instead of being downcast rejoice - God is at work and doing mighty things! Phil.4:4.

Let the rejoicing revolution begin!
