*Lamentations3:21-23 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the LORD's mercies
that we are not consumed, because his compassion does not.
23 They are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness.
*2 Timothy 2 :13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny himself.
ENCOURAGEMENT

GOD IS FAITHFUL-LOVE HIM.
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
a. Peter encourage the Christians to
love God even though we do not see God.
(1Peter 1:8) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now
ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of
glory:
b. We express our love to God by
loving His Church.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
c. Loving God's Word is showing our
love to God.
Psalms 119:97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the
day.
2. WE KNOW
GOD IS FAITHFUL-SERVE HIM WITH FAITHFULNESS
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD,
choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers
served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
a. Joshua was a good example
Christian whose his family serve the Lord.
b. Christian who serves the Lord
faithfully are a big blessing to the local Church.
( I Timothy 1:2 ) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled
me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
3. WE KNOW
GOD IS FAITHFUL - SEEK HIM FIRST.
Mathew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
a. God is glorified for Christian who
always seek God first in their life.
1 Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth,
let him glory in the Lord.
c. Seeking God first is seeking
things on heavenly.
( Colossians 3:1-2 ) If ye then be
risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on
the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things
above, not on things on the earth.
4. WE KNOW
GOD IS FAITHFUL- OBEY HIM.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into
a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went
out, not knowing whither he went.
a. The Old Testament Christians were
good example in obeying God wholly.
* Enoch showed a good example of
perfect obedience to God because he do not see God but he obeyed God.
( Hebrews 11:5) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see
death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his
translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
b. Obeying God is the God's way to
please God.
( Hebrews 11:6) 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.
c. Noah obeyed God even though he did
understand fully how big is the big Arck God commanded him to built.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not
seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by
the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is
by faith.
5. WE KNOW
GOD IS FAITHUL-LET'FULFILL THE GREAT COMMISSION OF THE LORD CHRIST.
Mathew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
a. The heart of the Lord Jesus Christ
is reaching the lost at any cost.
( John 9:4-5 ) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it
is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
As long as I am in the world, I am
the light of the world.
b. Christ was move with compassion
for multitude of lost people on the earth.
Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with
compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep
having no shepherd.
c. Christ challenge us to lift up our
eyes and look on the field for they are white already to harvest.
John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then
cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already to harvest.
* God bless you always.*
