CHAPTER 1 Some people define happiness as the events in their environment: yes! It is what happens in your surroundings that will determine your mode of state; you can determine for yourself what your surroundings will look like by making people around you happy. Psalm 126:2 says, "Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy." In fact, God tells us to be happy more times in Scripture than any other command. Heavenly Father! I call on you to take control of people’s minds as I bring your word to them. In Jesus's name, I pray. Amen! Making people happy is the path to joy, which brings health and prosperity. When you make people happy, you will now move to the next level of happiness (JOY), which only God can give. Joy brings good health and happier moments. You, as an individual, have the key to your happiness. Do not let any man or woman tell you when you should be happy. You are the chairperson of the life you are living; you are the one who should determine when it is best for you to be happy and when it is not. Why on earth will you choose not to be happy? No matter how bad the world is, there is still a source of happiness in it. God is interested in your happiness more than any other thing in your life. Because it is from your happiness that He gets His joy, your best form of worship to God is to stay happy, for when you are happy, you can make others happy as well, and because you’re happy, the world will be a better place for another person.
