My Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On this day, Nov. 28th it is a great pleasure to meet you all at your home through this auspicious message. May the name of the Lord be glorified. All of you are waiting to know the auspicious word for today. Take with me from the book of Joshua 1:5. I will not leave you nor forsake you.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, God says through this verse, this morning that He will not leave you nor forsake you. This word is not spoken by man. But God who created you. He is a God who loves you. He is the one who said, It pleases Me to bless Israel. ” Whether you are in the midst of disease, in the midst of difficulties, or in the midst of loss, God says, “I will not leave you nor forsake you.” In the past, your husband who promised to be with you always, and said that he will not forsake you or leave you, might have forsaken you. Your wife who promised to remain with you, might have left you, Or she could have gone back to her mother’s house, or could have even gotten married again. But the Lord is always with you. David’s wife Michal listened to her father’s word and she married another man by name Palti. Though She forsook David, the Lord did not forsake him. His father in law forsook him. His own son Absalom forsook him. In times of difficulty his wife or son did not come forward to help him. They ran away. Even king Saul who was his father in law came against him, But the Lord who never forsakes, was with him. Testing came for him but God helped him to change the testing’s achievements. God was with David. My Dear children of God, if God is with a person no matter who comes against him, or forsakes him, the Lord will gather him to Himself. And lift him up from his difficult situation. A day came when all those who ran away from his presence, God set them aside and made David the king of Israel. He anointed him as the king and made him sit on the royal throne. That God, who stood with him promised you this morning, that He will not leave you nor forsake you. He says, “ I will never leave you, says the Lord.” I will not forsake you. My dear children of God, Today if you are going through some trouble, Or if you are caught in some case, then no people will come to your aid, they will think that they will get entangled with him also in their problem so they will not come to help you. They may even promise saying that they don’t know you at all. That day even the disciple Peter, denied saying that He did not know Jesus as he was scared of the people around him. He was with Jesus. He ate with Jesus and went about with Jesus but He too denied when Jesus was caught by the Roman soldiers. Peter was afraid of being caught by the soldiers.
So he denied three times that he did not know Jesus at all. He forsook Jesus when He was caught by the Roman soldiers. All the disciples fled from there. They went and hid themselves. My dear children of God, Jesus knew what trouble means. Just think how painful it must have been to Jesus when He found all his disciples deserted him. At times of trouble no one stood by His side. So imagine how his heart must have pained Him or how painful it would have been at that time. God knew that pain. Man may forsake you, But God will not forsake you. He said “ I will be with you and what I do will be awesome. “God will remain with you and perform great things which no other nation could have done. He will neither leave you nor forsake you. God gave this promise to Joshua. He faced many challenges, And he had to face several battles in his life. Yet God was with him. Because God was with him, He spoke to the sun and moon asking them not to move from their place, as there was darkness while the battle was in progress, and his men were not used to this environment. They could not fight in the darkness. So Joshua commanded the sun to remain still over Gibeon and commanded the moon to stand still in Ayalon, until the war ended. God commanded the words of Joshua and made the sun and moon to stand still for the sake of Joshua. For God said, and it was done, He commanded and it stood fast. If God says He will be with you, He will remain with you. Thus God helped Joshua to win the battle. Even today the Lord is saying the same thing. He will remain with you and fight for you. He will do all things for you. The struggles that you had until yesterday will come to an end. God will bless you and make you rejoice according to the days in which you have seen sorrow, struggle, pain and agony, deception and loss.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. I pray and bless all the children who are reading this message in the name of Jesus. We thank you Lord for not leaving us or deserting us. We thank you Lord for not forsaking us. Lord, what is greater than this promise or assurance which you have given us? Not necessary to the Lord. Lord you have said that You will not forsake us under any circumstance. Even today if there are people who have been forsaken Lord I pray that you will join hands with them. Lord take part in their sorrow, and in the midst of their sorrow, Give them another life for them to live happily. In the midst of their loss I pray that You will make them gain sufficient profit. If they had incurred any loss, then I pray that You help them to live peacefully. All the enemies who come against them in one way, should go away in seven different ways. Just as God chased away all the enemies who came against Joshua, Lord I pray that you will drive away all those who come against them and Just as Joshua victoriously led the people of Israel into the land of Canaan, I pray that You will remain with them and lead them into a large and good land flowing with milk and honey. Lord Bless us. I bless all the children from the bottom of my heart. Let these words come to pass in the lives of these children.
In Jesus Name We pray.
Amen.
