I AM WITH YOU
And Jesus came and spoke unto them saying…I am with you always...
Matthew 28:20
Main Text:
The message of peace is what I have brought to everyone at this point in time. Often times when we are confronted with issues and challenges in life, we always tend to think that we have been forgotten. It is not in the character of God to forget you, no matter how terrible the situation may look like, Jesus cares.
Remember Daniel in the den of lions, God was ahead of him. Permit me to remind you of the contest between king Nebuchadnezzar and the three Hebrew men who were accused of not bowing to the king’s golden image; they were thrown into the furnace of fire. Alas! Before they entered into the fire God was there waiting for them and to the amazement of everyone, God opened the eyes of this unbelieving king and he said “Behold… But I see four men walking in the fire unhurt and the fourth look like the Son of man”.
Behold, Jesus said; ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’. Never you think that God has forgotten you or abandoned you in that situation you are passing through right now; it won’t be long before you come to share your testimony this 2019. So many years ago, Jesus was in a similar situation; He felt abandoned and almost wished the cup passed over Him but God was with Him. You are not the first to encounter challenges of life and you won’t be the last person but above all, always see God in every situation you find yourself and He will always show up because He can’t deny you.
The glory that will follow your gory experience is nothing compared. Listen to Paul’s comment in one of his challenges in life: “For we would not, have you ignorant brethren of our trouble which came to us in Asia … we should not trust in ourselves but IN GOD who raises the dead who DELIVERED us from so great a death. II Corinthians 1:8-10.
Prayer: Lord, prove Yourself in my life in Jesus’ name
