Pastor E's message

He spoke on the different between Happiness and Joy. Happiness is me focus and it depend on circumstances but Joy is God focus and does not depend on circumstances.
He said Joy is conditional, there are certain channel God allows to flow through. And the chief channel is the word of God.

And when one has unreasonable worries or unconfess sins, we cannot experience the joy of the Lord. Joy comes only when we have restedness in Christ. He moved on to speak on Isa 52, 53, 54 this represent Break Free, Break Through and Break Forth respectively.

And I agree with him that many of us often stay captive in our lifes. I thank God that I have learned to free from being captive in my thoughts, the way I go about life. I have come to trust the Lord more often than before. I use to struggle and fear but now I have learnt to entrust God with my future. And I do hope for the many more years to come that the Lord will enpower to live this life for His glory and be that channel He can use.
