Do not doubt because God never changes; in Him, there is no shadow of change. God never abandons what He has promised, and we know that everything God promises, He fulfills.
Do not be afraid to speak in His name, because in His name there is power and authority; there is a great blessing for all those who believe in the name of Jesus.
Perhaps in your life, people have failed you, forgotten you, or abandoned you, but when you lift your face to the heavens and look up, know that your God is the same; He is there for you and He sustains you. Because with God, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37).
If you believe, you will see the glory of God. It does not matter how many people are against you, it does not matter if people mock you. Goliath mocked and cursed David, but everyone knows the final result because David believed in the Lord and the Lord backed David. Daniel went to the lions’ den, and in the den, God placed an angel to shut the mouths of the lions.
In these difficult times we are living in, we see how people’s character changes, just as it is written in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, and many are worried about what will happen now. But do not forget that God never abandons those who believe in Him. Those who believe and wait on the Lord will never be put to shame. Not one of the good promises that the Lord made to the house of Israel failed; they were all fulfilled (Joshua 21:45).
God’s word says in Isaiah 26:3-4, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Trust in the Lord forever, because in God the Lord we have an eternal Rock. If we doubt the Lord, who will we believe in? We cannot advance in any way if we do not have confidence in the Lord (John 15:5).
Many people today give all kinds of teachings, but what is lacking is instructing people to believe in God, to believe that God can, to believe that God is capable, to believe that God is never late. Just as David told Solomon, “know the God of your father,” so each of us as parents must instruct our children. So that they may rise up with confidence in the Lord, because since many of our youth do not believe in God, do not respect God, and do not give reverence to God, we are reaping much pain.
Young people make painful decisions that harm their entire lives. A young person who kills at an age under 20 has lost many things and needs firm guidance so that they can rise up again, take hold of the Lord’s hand, walk in the Lord’s path, and remain in the Lord’s path, because now they know that the Lord will not fail them.
Now, more than ever, as we all see how evil is increasing and how immorality wants to dominate the world, now is the time to raise our faith in the Lord. Because those who believe in money have failed, those who believe in politics have failed, all those who believe in human power and in the name of men will fail, because no name and no military power can be compared to the power of God.
Sincerely, Pastor Marcel Balootje.
