On 4th December 1982, a baby came into the world with no arms and no legs, having only a six-inch appendage with two toes on the left side of his torso. This child was born to Pastor Boris Vujicic and his wife, Dushka Vujicic.
Though many around them were dismayed by this “tragedy”, Pastor Boris Vujicic and his wife chose to trust God.
They named their son, Nick Vujicic and tried their best to help him to live a ‘normal’ life. But despite their efforts, by age eight, Nick began to feel great depression about his disabilities, which resulted in multiple suicide attempts. On Nick’s third attempt to end his life he had a vision. He saw his mom and dad crying at his grave, and he realized that his suicide would be a worse blow to his parents than having a son without limbs.
After that vision, Nick decided not to kill himself. Soon after, Nick had a life-changing moment when he read John chapter 9 where Jesus said a man was born blind so the works of God would be revealed.
Understanding, that his own disability could also be used by God to reveal His glory, Nick surrendered his life to Jesus and began a relationship with God, which changed everything for him. He became joyful, trusting that God was in control of his life. Thereafter, he began to enjoy his life and became full of smiles. By age 17, he began to conduct classes where he spoke to encourage other students.
In 2005, he founded an international non-profit organization and ministry, ‘Life Without Limbs’. Nick began travelling all over the world, sharing his message of hope to millions of people and helping many come to faith in Jesus Christ. Today, Pastor Nick Vujicic is one of the most widely recognized evangelists in the world and has become an international symbol of victory over adversity.

Pastor Nick’s change of story came when he decided to be joyful, despite his circumstances.
In the book of Philippians, Apostle Paul writes from a state of imprisonment under difficult circumstances.
But despite the adverse conditions, he commands the Christians at Philippi to ‘Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. rejoice in the Lord always.’ [Philippians 4:4-8].
Here Paul reveals that the secret to experiencing joy is by shifting our focus to God in all circumstances.
Today, the state of affairs in the world can foster an atmosphere of despondency, but as Christians we cannot allow anything take away our joy.
Our joy does not come from outward happenings. It’s sourve is the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Even in adverse situations, the Holy Spirit supernaturally works in our hearts to produce His fruit of joy (Galatians 5:22).
Unspeakable joy, is unexplainable joy. It is the joy you can’t explain in natural terms. No matter what goes on, you chose to always trust God and refuse to be moved by circumstances. This Joy is the source of strength for rising to your high places. But depression can stop you from getting there because once the devil succeeds in stealing your joy, he has succeeded in stealing your strength. Depression is the enemy’s trap for stealing your colorful destiny. Therefore, don’t allow it! Do not allow money, relationships or anything to control your joy, because they are inconsistent.
In every situation, let us keep our hope in God who never fails. Certainly, God is ever constant and reliable and is able to turnaround any condition and surpass all our expectations.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to remain joyful and keep praising You despite any situation, let nothing ever stop the continual flow of your praise from my mouth because You are too faithful to ever fail me in Jesus Name.

Praise always guarantees you power for a raise, learning to praise God in season and out of season is key to fulfilling destiny. – WORDBITE 222
