SINGING WITH JOY TO THE LORD (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Joy

a) True joy can only be attained as part of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). It is that overwhelming sense of comfort and contention that floods one's soul. It is the thing that we have when we are walking with the Holy Spirit and mortifying the deeds of the flesh (Romans 8:13).

b) True joy comes only when we are focused upon walking with the Lord and esteeming others (Philippians 2:3-5). Since joy is fruit of the Spirit it is a special gift that only the believer has (Ephesians 1:12-14; 4:30).

2. Singing With Joy To The Lord


Psalms 5:11-12 
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.

Psalms 47:1 
Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! 


The End ...
