we truly appreciate your willingness to serve and of course our media ministry at the back if not for them we will not be able to reach you so we would like to thank every one of you anil and nevin and justin and also joash and reuben we truly appreciate that let me share with you very familiar passage taken from by the way 5 16 would be the closing song all the way i can do all things through christ which strengtheneth me found in philippians chapter 4 verse 13. have a positive attitude in life in a recent research that was done by john hopkins this is what they came up with a conclusion and let me just share with you three pointers or three nuggets of truth based on god's word that would really help us to face this new week ahead of us number one smile more king solomon the wisest man that ever lived says in proverbs chapter 17 verse 22 a merry heart what does it do do a good like a medicine a merry heart there's a beautiful english saying that says smile and the whole world smiles with you cry and you cry alone now we are social beings that is how god created us we want to be among people no man is an island that's the saying goes again and so when you're with people you want people to accept you you want people to receive you and for and you want people to be around you because you are a social being we as christians that is how god made us and for you to really enjoy christian life is to have a positive attitude and to have a positive attitude that as the bible says here smile more now i'm not a science student so i cannot go into the details as to what are some of the things that can happen with all the different nerves that goes along when you smile but one thing the bible says very clearly a merry heart do it good like a medicine in fact john hopkins research concludes this people will smile even intentionally or unintentionally they're able to reduce their heart rate and their blood pressure as you know john hopkins one of the most reputed universities in the world after going through a deep detailed research among many many thousands of people this is what they discovered people who smile more people who are happy people who have a positive attitude have can reduce their heart rate as well as their blood pressure and it is all again based biblically very hard to a good like a medicine number two the second negative truth that we can how we can have a positive attitude is this try to reframe the situation that you're facing in you can look at a glass and say it is half full or half empty how do you look at life how is your perspective in life i know our people all you have to say how are you doing and they have a long list of complaints to make how life is so miserable now when i worked for one of the christian school here for almost 20 some years the owner of the school regardless of whatever the challenge that she had to face financially or with regard to the students or with regard to the government agencies army with regard to these staff whenever anybody passed by and said dr washington how are you doing her immediate answer is fantastic i'm standing right next door i know exactly because we have sat down we have gone through the challenges but our response is always how are you doing dr washington fantastic she always reframed the situation there's a beautiful text here in matthew chapter 14 verse 15. jesus is in the desert place when people come to know that jesus is in the desert place a great multitude follow him seeing the multitude the bible says that jesus had compassion and he began to speak to them and by the time you finish talking to them and teaching to them it is evening and now the disciples come to jesus if you read carefully and the word of god is there's a master we are in a desert place the time is far spent send the multitude away look at the situation here jesus reframes the situation from the disciples point of view this is not the time to linger any longer it is getting dark it is a desert place we cannot provide any food for this great multitude send them away quite natural quite human but see how the jesus how the lord jesus christ reframes the situation instead of a cup being half full of empty he's making it half full he says no don't send them away see if anybody has any food and then andrew comes forward and says oh there's a little lad he has got two fish and five loaves of bread and you all know the story very well with that jesus fed the people and there was 12 baskets left over even if you're in the worst of situations dwell on the goodness of the lord praise him in the worst of times and when you begin to praise him problem becomes smaller and your god becomes bigger and keep in mind our god is much bigger than any challenge that you might face right now or you might face in this coming week and so what do you do not only have it smile more but also reframe the situation because that's exactly what jesus did in the desert and number three here's the second third negative truth how you can have a positive upbeat christian life in this coming week it is simply this when you face a problem don't run away from it face it and don't think by ignoring is going to go away in other words you must have a spirit of resilience that you must be able to get up and start walking let me share with you a very beautiful passage here again taken again from matthew chapter 19 verse 26 if you notice very carefully there jesus is turning the disciples and makes this beautiful observation he says with man this is impossible but with god all things are possible and so have this approach with you whoever you are whatever the challenges you might be facing whether you're sick physically or you're facing a spirit spiritual battle or you're facing a financial crisis whatever it is the bible says not me jesus our lord says with men this is impossible whatever your problem is impossible but with god all things are possible that is my prayer to you as we enter into new week unknown and uncertain make sure to smile more very hard do it good like a medicine reframe the situation don't look at a cup as half empty but always look it as look at it as half full and lastly with man this thing is impossible but with god all things are possible face it confront it and with god on your side you will face and experience victory god bless you have a wonderful sabbath and a wonderful week thank you pastor john for that wonderful message indeed with god everything as possible and claiming to that promise let's step into this new week and in closing let's sing hymn number 516 516. all the way my savior leads me 516.
