understanding the joy of delivery

The final destination or the end point of every hope, expectation, desires and long is delivery. In-between everything that is hoped for, desired and expected is a waiting time. Waiting time always comes with pain. However, by delivery comes the end of waiting. DELIVERY IS THE TERMINATION OF WAITING TIME. Waiting time is not over until delivery takes place. Waiting to take delivery of what is expected is often accompanied with pain but whenever delivery comes, then comes joy.

Proverbs 13:13(CNT)

When hope is crushed, the heart is crushed, but A WISH COME TRUE FILLS YOU WITH JOY.

Proverbs 13:12 (CEV) Not getting what you want can break your heart, but a wish that comes true is a life-giving tree.

Whenever our wishes come true what follows is joy. Joy is packaged with fulfilment of wishes.

Proverbs 13:19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul......

A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul... (NIV)

It is pleasant to see dreams come true.... (NLT)

It is a good feeling to get what you want.... (CEV)

The Bible verse cited above also shows that wishes, desires, expectation, HOPE, dreams and longings are seeds and their deliveries likened to an harvest accompanied with joy.

Psalms 4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

Isaiah 9:3

Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: THEY JOY BEFORE THEE ACCORDING TO THE JOY IN HARVEST , and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

Jeremiah 48:33

AND JOY AND GLADNESS IS TAKEN FROM THE PLENTIFUL FIELD , and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

The scriptures cited above are pointers to the truth that accompanying every season of harvest is joy.

In addition, delivery is also synonymous with childbirth. At the point of birth, pain comes upon a woman carrying pregnancy in order to travail. As the woman travails in pain, the baby is born, she forgets her pain for the joy of giving birth to a new baby.

John 16:21

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, FOR JOY THAT A MAN IS BORN into the world.

Giving birth is taking delivery of expected baby(ies).

Moresc, receiving answers to prayers is another way we take delivery in God's kingdom.

John 16:24

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and YE SHALL RECEIVE , THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL.

Answered prayers spring up fullness of joy among the Saints of God. There is fullness of joy in the presence of God (Psalms 16:11) because it is the place of answered prayers, where the impossible becomes possible.

Soul winning is another means by which joy is sprung up in the kingdom of God.

Luke 15:7

I say unto you, that likewise JOY SHALL BE IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH , more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

The harvests of souls is accompanied with joy.

Further more, in the light of the above, it must also be understood that the kingdom of God is a kingdom of sowers. No one has the hope of an harvest unless seed has been sown.

Genesis 8:22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest...... shall not cease.

Our heavenly Father is a farmer, a sower of seeds (Matthew 13:3-9).As true sons of our Father, it is expected of us to be sowers of seed to the end that we might take deliveries of harvests in due seasons.

Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP , if we faint not.

The joy of delivery is the reserve of those who sow in tears.

Psalms 126:5-6
[5]They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
[6]He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Only those who sowed in tears are entitled to the joy of harvest. It is only a thief that reaps where he never sowed. IF WE CANNOT PAY THE PRICE OF THE WEEPING / TEARS OF SOWING , WE WILL NEVER WIN THE PRIZE OF THE JOY OF HARVEST.
No matter how hard the ground of life is, our seeds has been designed by God to break it. Seed is what will speaks for us where we have no voice. Seeding is a kingdom principle of ground-breaking.

In conclusion, joy is a sickle with which we bring in harvest. It is impossible to reap without harvest in place.

The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. We must stay joyful in order to take delivery of what God has for us.

Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

As citizens of God's kingdom, the Holy Spirit has been given to us to bear the fruit of joy in us right from the moment of our salvation (Psalms 51:11-12; Galatians 5:22).
As we engage the Holy Spirit within us, we begin to draw water from the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:1-3).
Failure to rejoice in the God of our salvation is an open invitation to locusts to invade our field. As from this day, may we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, by the Spirit of God, in Jesus Precious name.
