Joy returns to the hearts, churches and homes


                          Joy returns to the hearts, churches, and homes
                                                   By Elia Vesikula
Sunday worship has started in the churches and I know it would have brought the joy of the Lord to worshipers around Fiji.
At one of the AOG Churches in Lautoka. it was evident in the joyous worship service and the smiles and laughter of the worshipers. The social distancing was followed in the seating arrangement in the church.
The message in the church was about the man of God the Prophet Ilijah who was fed by the poor widow who was down to her last bag of flour and oil for her last meal. God blessed her when he fed the prophet and food never ran out in her home. The message by Lautoka Pastor Filikesa Koroivueta encouraged those in church to believe, obey and walk with God despite the circumstances one faces.
The AOG church in Lautoka is Pastored by Senior Pastor Rev Pritam Singh. Services on Sunday are at 8am for Hindi Service, 10:30 am for English Service and the Fijian service at 6 pm.

We believe the Lord will bless the land as we praise and worship him again in the churches.As he promised Joshua, I will always be with you and to help you, just as I was with Moses so I shall be with you. I will not fail you or forsake you. I will never neglect you or abandon you or desert you. I will not take my help from you. Joshua 1:5.
