Fellowship

We thank You Lord for leaving us the example of Joy resulting from operating with a Gentle Spirit by the way you ran Your earthly ministry, help us to yield our lives to the Holy Spirit, so that we will cultivate Gentleness as a Fruit of the Spirit and be rewarded with Your Joy that cannot be corrupted by the world, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Devotion

THE JOY OF JUSTIFICATION

We, as Christians are justified through Jesus Christ our Lord and we should have the joy to go along in our Christian race. We have the assurance through the cleansing of our sins that we have been justified, unified, purified because our hope is sure and the help we derived through Christ is strong. We have a positive response from God because when we were helpless, He came to our rescue and in the past, we were hopeless but now we are reconciled, we were careless but now righteous. Halelluyah.

It is duty bound that we fight to preserve, sustain and intensify the God given joy that we derive in Christ, which comes with the new birth. Let us praise and thank God for His wonderful gift of salvation through Jesus’ Christ.

Anniversary Song / Hymn

THERE IS JOY IN THE SERVICE OF JESUS OUR LORD

There is joy in the service of Jesus our Lord,

There is joy in reposing our faith in His word;

There is joy in confiding all to His care

There is joy in sweet answers to prayers

There is joy in the service of Jesus our Lord,

There is fullness of joy and eternal reward;

There is joy that abideth, our souls know it well,

There is joy that we never can tell.

There is joy when we slumber, and joy when we wake,

There is joy when we suffer reproach for His sake;

Tho’ our path-way thro’ life may be toilsome and long,

We will brighten the journey with song.

There is joy when He calls us His workers to be,

There is joy in affliction – His hand we can see;

There is joy in temptation, for then we can hide

In His arms, who was tempted and tried.
