Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of our Creator, Maker, and ever unforgettable Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Matthew 28:20, “Observe all things I have commanded you, for, Lo I am with you always even to the end of the age.”
From the above context we learn that our God will remain with us always even to the end of the age if you determine to observe all the things that God has commanded you. God wants to live with each one of you. When He abides with you, then you can face all the problems without any fear or anxiety. Just before ascending to the Father in heaven, the Lord Jesus commissioned His followers to go and make disciples, of all the nations – teaching them to observe all things whatsoever He had commanded them, and then He made the most astonishing claim –He said, lo, I am with you always even unto the end of the world. The disciples were confused because they did not know for sure where Jesus was going to. Then they would be left alone to face the consequences. They were rather afraid. So the Lord Jesus promised to be with His disciples forever and for always. He promised to be with each one of them. He promised to stay in union with each of His followers. He promised to remain in the midst of all of them. And His precious promise reaches down the centuries, touching each of His children, to the very end of the age. Jesus promises to be with us to the end of the world. He shall make a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth will pass away.
Jesus is our Good Shepherd, Who has said He would never leave us nor forsake us, no matter what situation we find ourselves in – no matter what difficult life-circumstances we face. He has promised to be with us forever and always, no matter what burdens press in on us – no matter what personal difficulties embroil us, and no matter what impending evil is crouching in the shadows. All authority in heaven and earth and under the earth has been placed under His control, and He says with authority – Lo, I am with You, even unto the very end. Praise be to God. We read in the Bible that God was with David and so he increased day by day. He too had to face many struggles in his life but since God was with him he was able to overcome all his difficulties by the strength of God who was within him. In this world as long as you have name fame and wealth people will be friendly with you but when you face a problem all will disappear. No one will come to help you. We have often heard people say, I have suffered much in life, and so I know what the world means to me. And how most of the men are. I know how they will behave when we ask for help, while we go through troubles. But the Bible says, “It was good that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your precepts.”
When you go through crisis men will turn indifferent to you. They will avoid you, fearing that you may seek their help. There is a great difference between God and Man. When man helps he will help you with a demand. Only if you are capable of fulfilling his demands he will come forward to help you. But God expects nothing from you in return for the help He does in your life. He will be of help to you all through your life. When you go through crisis, a rich brother or sister may come forward to help you. But if you have 40 lakhs debts they may be able to help you with only five lakhs. What will you do for the rest of the amount say 35 lakhs? This is the state of many in this world. Your brother or sister may be willing to help you but they could not afford to make full payment and clear your debts. Because they may not be in a position to help you. But when God wants to help you, He will rescue you completely from your sin and curse and will redeem you from all your problems. God says, Look I will be with you and support you till the end of this world. But man will say, “Look I have done what I could. I cannot do anymore. Don’t come home hereafter, asking for help. But God says, “I will be with you always.” How good a God, He is. He is also known as Ebenezer, which means, Helper. When you call upon Him, He responds to your call and solves your problem.
God has enabled you to read this message with a hope of comforting and consoling you, who are struggling in your life, with various problems. He wants to encourage you and strengthen you, while you go through crisis. He knows very well that you cannot do anything without his help. He is a God who will meet all your needs for He is your heavenly father. God has power and authority both in Heaven and on earth. He is Almighty, all powerful. God never rejects you instead He accepts you as you are with all your problems. Sickness, your debts, whatever it may be, He will accept you and change you into the kind of person, God expects you to be and will bless you to prosper. He will help you to clear all your debts, and increase you on every side. All we need to do is to be with God. If God is with you then you will be successful in all that you do. He will help you to solve all your problems. All your debts, disease, poverty will come to an end. Sin and curse of your past life will come to an end. You will be blessed with a new life. Your character will change. God will be pleased with you. You will become a new creation in Christ. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for your son Jesus. Thank You that He is the Head of our body and thank You that He is with us no matter what difficulties press in, on us or what evil circumstances surrounds us. Thank You for His reassuring presence and His precious promise to be with us always. Give us the grace and opportunity to witness for You and to teach the truth of Your word, to all with whom we come in contact.
May praise and glory, be to you.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
