| The pastor of our Hokkien and Mandarin
congregations, Pastor Mark, used to suffer from certain health problems
before he became a Christian. His doctor told him that he had to be on
medication for life. He also had a huge financial debt. But when he
caught hold of the teaching that he is God’s beloved, he believed it
totally. He also believed that nothing could be greater than God’s love
for him. |
|
| Today, Pastor Mark is off medication and completely
delivered from that debt. God caused him to triumph over his sickness
and debt because he cannot be defeated when he knows that he is God’s
beloved. |
|
| Tribulation, distress or persecution cannot stop your
heavenly Father’s love from working on your behalf. His love for you is
bigger and stronger than your financial woes, marital problems or health
concerns. And when God’s heart of love moves for His beloved, He opens
doors that no one can shut and He makes a way when there seems to be
none. |
|
| Even during lean times, you will never find the
righteous forsaken. King David said, “I have been young, and now am old;
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging
bread.” (Psalm 37:25) Can famine or recession stop God’s love from
providing for His beloved? No! So don’t think to yourself, “I must
provide for my family. If I don’t, who is going to take care of them?
How are they going to survive?” God wants you to know that His love will
continue to provide abundantly for you and your family. |
|
| What about deadly
pestilences such as bird flu and mad cow disease, natural disasters
such as tsunamis and earthquakes, or terrorist bombings? My friend,
these things cannot devour you because His love protects you. You will
enjoy His protection when you know that you are His beloved. |
|
| Because God’s
love is greater than all the evil put together, we are more than
conquerors through Christ who loved us. (Romans 8:37) We always win in
the fight of life not because of our love for Him, but because of His
love for us! |
