To all the Saints of
God,
Grace and peace be
unto all the Saints of God around the World. During this
Coronavirus Pandemic, while we are following the guidelines of the health
and governmental authorities for the safety of all people and in many places
you are under stay – at - home executive
orders therefore public gathering have been canceled temporary to control
or prevent the spreading of this virus. We have complete faith that God will
hear our prayers and continue to provide a way for us through these
uncertain times.
This week’s encouraging words of growth focuses on:
“The
providential care of God Almighty. His divine guidance and sustaining power
for all humanity".
Even in the mist of troubled
times, God is on the Throne.
HEBREWS
11:06 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh
to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.
It is written in his
word:
“I
am with you alway.” Matthew 28:20
“I will
never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews
13:5
I have
never seen the righteous forsaken... Psalms
37:25
What then is meant by
standing on the word and promises of God? It means that all things will
work out according to the will of God. This means to have complete
confidence in God no matter what happens in life. He is in control and
cares about his children in good times, bad times, happy times, and sad
times.
For those who
are sick and have the coronavirus:
Ask God for healing for he is able to heal all sickness and diseases if this
be in his will. Perhaps he will send a special blessing for you and your
family. Do not fall for or be persuaded by feel good sermons that cause
people to make irrational, unwise, and unhealthy decisions for it is in
these times that many false prophets, and false teachers rise up to make a
name for themselves with no true care for the resulting consequence of the
things they say and sadly cause some people in their despair to do. God
is our healer and all we can do is make our request known to him.
Medicines may treat symptoms and, in some cases, even assist in healing but
without God’s power all will be fruitless. Therefore, we
give thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is God Almighty for all
those he has healed around the world. We pray for the healing and well
being of all the Saints of God. We pray for all leaders and all people that
they to will find healing and comfort in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I will put none of
these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for
I am the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26
JEREMIAH 8:22 Is
there no balm(medicine) in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is
not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
JEREMIAH 46:11 Go up
into Gilead, and take balm(medicine), O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in
vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
Again, don’t forget to pray and ask God
for healing…
And finally,
for those who have lost precious love ones:
We thank God for those that held on to their faith in Jesus Christ and
embraced his promise of eternal life afar off.
HEBREWS 11:13 These
all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them
afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that
they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
REVELATIONS 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments
of God, and the faith of Jesus.
REVELATIONS 14:13 And
I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Be encouraged and
hold on to God for he has made provisions for life and death. Be completely
confident and trust in him for he will provide our every need.
