[HH] [PREACHING LESSON 9:] WHY GOD SAY TO CHRISTIANS, "I WILL NOT LEAVE THEE AND FORSAKE THEE"?

 WHY GOD SAY TO CHRISTIANS, "I WILL NOT LEAVE THEE AND FORSAKE THEE"?

( Hebrews 13:5 ) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

1. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT FAITHFUL TO HIM.

( 2 Timothy 2:13 ) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

2. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOU EVEN WHEN YOU'RE DISOBEYING HIM.

( Hebrews 12:5-11 ) [5]And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

[6]For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

[7]If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

[8]But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

[9]Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

[10]For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

[11]Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

3. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOU WHEN YOU MAKE BIG PLANS IN YOUR LIFE.

( James 4:13-14 ) [13]Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

[14]Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

4. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OF YOUR LIFE IN THE WORLD.

(Isaiah 40:29-31) [29]He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

[30]Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

[31]But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

5. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOU WHEN YOU FACE PAIN AND TROUBLES AND TRIALS IN YOUR LIFE TO COMFORT YOU.

( II Corinthians 1:4-10 ) [4]Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

[5]For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

[6]And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

[7]And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

[8]For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

[9]But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

[10]Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

6. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOU WHEN YOU NEED HIS SUFFICIENT GRACE IN YOUR LIFE.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 [9]And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

[10]Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

* ( IPeter 5:10 ) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

( I Corinthians 15:10 ) But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

* God bless you all always. *
