Acts chapter 8 verse 5-8
"Then Phillip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one Accord gave heed unto those things which Phillip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For the unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them:and many taken with praises, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city".

Have you a great Joy??.
Many hearts are full sorrows, regrets and resentment., because they couldn't allow the deposition of the great joy in their lives..if the people of Samaria had failed to listen to the things which Phillip spake, they might not experience the joy of God in that city. Before Phillip even could lift his hands and pray for them, miracles, signs and wonders began to happen..,which implies that there is a great reward in giving heed to the word of God in accordance.

What are the needful to encounter the great joy
1. Honour God: honouring God means giving your all hearts, money and time to the things of the Lord. Avoid coming late to the house of God, abiding by the rules and regulations of the church, to avoid any form of distraction.
Malachai 1vs6 says "A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts.."
2. Be delighted to be in his presence: The book of Psalm 14 vs 11says, "thou will Shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore".
I pray that by doing these, the Lord shall deposit a great joy in your family and your generations to come in Jesus name. (Amen).

The service of God is done with commitment,not carnality but to filled with the spirit of God, if you are filled with the spirit of God fleshly thing will be put side,Philip was filled with the spirit of God and the spirit leading him preaching to the people of samaria for the redemption of their soul, spirit of God did sign wonder to convince the people that God is a good God, when we want to serve God self must be kept aside not be outside the track, many apostle preach Christ to some city that hate Christianity, people like Steven the people stoned him to death because he preached Christ to them, looking at peter one of the apostle of Christ, when Christ death came, flesh came in which is carnality nothing to do but to betray Christ but when flesh was put aside peter committed his life to God before been crucified upside down because of the gospel of Christ, also john the apostle, God used him miraculously he escape from a hot boiling oil because for me God have not use him finish, God used him to write the book of revelation, one of the bible passage said if you are trying to keep your life thy shall lose it but if thy use it for the gospel of Christ thy shall have it bountifully. God Is just good to us in this generation.

@Cletus: You are absolutely right!.

When a minister of God is filled with the holy spirit, the audience will be moved by his preaching., Even the unbelievers compelled to listen attentively. From there healings will come, and many will give their lives to Christ..But the ministers nowadays do things in their own knowledge. And that is why they do beat most of them up on several occasions when they go out to preach..just because they are the ones who call God, and reverse suppose to be the case.
 Some will even go out in search for powers to be able to perform miracles and wonders, which brought many to the alter of deceit. 
Even as a Christian, you must be filled with the holy Spirit in order not to be deceived by any minister of God. And also, the spirit of God helps to listen to and study the word of God and always live by it.
