You are not forsaken

 

Texts: Isaiah 60:15-16  / Isaiah 44:21-23

"Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, So that no one went through you, I will make you an eternal excellence, A joy of many generations. You shall drink the milk of Gentiles, And milk the breast of Kings; You shall know that, I the Lord, am your Saviour And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob"

 

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, No matter what you have gone through, exprienced or going through right now, may be you have been bruised, abandoned, negleted, rejected, deserted, ridiculed, hated, critized, condemed, embarassed, afflicted, accused by people you loved and trusted, may be due to your past failures, mistakes, predicaments, weakness or for whatever reansons, I have come to tell you that you are not forgotten and you are not forsaken, God is always there for you. Romans 8:28 " For all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose" what you are experiencing now or you have experienced are all parts of the package of your calling, you have to go through them to breakthrough, you have to go through them to discover and then recover, you have to go through them to be prepared and empowered for your assignments.

Genesis 37-50, The account of Joseph  who had a dream of his entire life journey, shared them wit his own blood brothers with an opened heart, but was envied , jealoused and hated and, they conspired against him to kill his dream and take his life away, But remember that God was the creator and designer of Joseph's life journey, and at the end Joseph prevailed over his brothers becaused God was with Him throughout the Journey.

What helped Joseph throughout his journey was that He knew His God, he loved His God, trusted His God, loyal and faithful to His God, He feared His God , obedient to His God, excercise self control, humble himself before man and God.

 Listen my people, the secret to greatness is HUMILITY, FEAR OF GOD , LOVE OF GOD and OBEDIENCE,for these reasons, the bible declared that wherever Joseph goes, the hand of God, His favour and grace was always with Him and he became great,

John 16:32 " Jesus said, in Him you will have peace But in this world you will face tribulations,BUT be of good cheer for He has overcome"

PSALM 2:1-4  Why do the people plot a vain thing? The Kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take councels together, Against the Lords and His Anointed, saying, Let us break their bonds in peices And cast away their cords from us." He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derison."

Brethrens, do not put your trust in men , do not put your confidence in men and stop worshiping men, they will one day let you down and break your heart. Jeremiah 17:5-8 Thus says the Lord, "Cursed is the man who trust in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord, For he shall be like a shrub in the desert and shall not see whan good things comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord, For He shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. 

When you look unto men, listen to what people said or saying about you, you will surely loose your focus on Jesus, get deistracted and become luke worm, backslider and be disconnected from God. Apostle Paul said "forgetting the past and looking and focusing onto the goal ahead of him."

Jeremiah 1:19 (New King James Version)

19 They will fight against you,
      But they shall not prevail against you.
      For I am with you,” says the LORD, “to deliver you.”

Isaiah 54:15 "Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake".

Isaiah 8:10

  10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
      Speak the word, but it will not stand,
      For God is with us.”

Listen to me, my beloved, God want you to rest on Him, trust Him at all times, either when things are well with you or not, He want you to keep trusting him, praising Him, worshiping Him, glorifying Him, magnifying Him,adoring Him because His plans and purpose has never change, God is not a man, He has exhaulted His word above His name and said whatsoever He voiced out concerning you will never go back but accomplished its purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the thaugths that I think toward you, says the Lord, thaughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a better future and hope."

Isaiah 49:14-17 2But Zion said, The Lord has forsaken me, And my Lord has forsaken." Can a woman forsaken her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me Your sons shall make haste; Your destroyers and those who laid you waste shall go away from you.

Because you were forsaken, rejectected, forgotten by men does not mean the end of the world for you, infact it is the begining of your promotion, it is the stepping stone to your next level of greatness, it is a new door been opened for you to get closer to your destiny. You will only discover your true friends when you are in trouble, do not be surprised that some will cut you off during your trial season, when you loose your job, loose your house, failed in business, failed in marriage, not doing well in your career, not doing well in your ministry, when you are broke, even when you are sick."A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED" No one wants to be your friend when you are poor, having little or nothing to offer; But you will always get many friends when you are rich, this is the reality of life, "Remember that Peter even denied Jesus Christ three times when He was arested, Judas betrayed Jesus Christ, Thomas doubted His resurection"; so also today, there many betrayers , accusers, unfriendly friends in our lives, even in  Churches, within the family, at work and within the community.

"My prayer is that God will open our eyes of understanding ,exposed and seperate us from every unfriendly friends in Jesus name".

Michah 7:5-8 " Do not trust in a friend; Do not put your confidence in a  companion; Guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom, For son dishonors father, Daughter rises against her mother, Daugther in-law against her mother in-law; A man's enemies are the men of his own houseold. Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for God of my salvation; My God will hear me. (Verse 8), Do not rejoice over me, my enemy, When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me."

I pray in Jesus name that those who despised you shall live to witness your greatness and those who are laughing at you now shall celebrate and laugh with you."(AMEN).

Hebrews12:2 The bible says, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.", He said in Mattew 11:28 " Come to me all you who are labor and heavy laden and I will give you rest" The only one to be trusted is Jesus Christ who laid His own life down for you and I so that we can live, John 3:16, John 10:10" Jesus said Thief does not come except to steal and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and  that they may have it more abundantly".

Jesus Christ our Lord is the only one that have the blue print of your life, He know you from the beginning ever before you were formed, He understood you more than anyone, He is the only one that has the power to forgive, cleansed, santified, revive, restore and refresh. He is the only one that can never get fed up or tired of you, He is the only one to look unto for favor, grace, mercy, kindness, for blessing, for peace, joy, for power, good health, for healing, deliverance, protection ,for perfection and His compassion never fail . He was sent to set you free, to heal your brokenheart, He was sent to deliver you from trouble, He was sent to liberate you, give you life, give you hope and victory.

Therefore give your life to Him totally today, allow Him to come into your heart, dwell in your heart, rain in your home, take charge of your life, become the pilot  and the driver of your life. He is bigger than your problems; The bible says, the name of the Lord is strong tower which the righteous run into and safe. A life without Christ is in crisis, In Him you have life, peace, victory and riches. 

Your disapointment with men is an appointment with Jesus to lift you up and place you on a higher level where you belong;  to put shame to all your enemies and seperate you from the vision killlers, life waisters, time waisters and destiny killers.

Rather than you getting worried, getting fustrated, dipresssed and bitter, you need to keeP thanking God for your victory  becuse it is a new day for you, a new season, season of harvest, season of increase, season of joy, season of grace, season of fruitfulness and season of abundance. (Revelation 21:5-6 0)" Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new, And He said to me,"write, for these words are true and faithful".

My dear beloved, do not fear, do not limit yourself, never write yourself off and do not give up, your are not forsaken, it is not over untill you win; the bible says in (Psalm 37:25-26) " I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed; (Lamention 3:22-24) "Through the Lord's mercy  we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. they are new every morning; Great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I hope in Him". Our God is faithful, merciful, great and full of compassion, He daily loads us with benefits and never withold good things from us, praise God !!!!1

When people walk away from you, God your creator, your redeemer, your defender, your councelor, your provider, your shield, your source and your refuge  is with you. (Isaiah 43:1-3)" But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Isreal; Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine, When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, For I am the Lord your God, The Holy one of Isreal, your saviour;

May be your husband, your wife, your boy friend, your girl friend, your friends, your families has forgotten you, left you, divorce you, conspired against you and you are so sad, dejected, fustrated , depressed and grieved, I have a good news for you today that God is with you, He has seen all your afflictions, your tears, your pains and all your worries and saying to you, "Do not remember the former things, Nor the things of old, Behold He will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? He will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert"; (Psalm 30:5)" For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life, Weeping may endure for a night, But Joy comes in the morning. "I pray that may your joy be full in Jesus name" ( AMEN )!!!!

Psalm 126:1-3 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion. We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing, Then they said among the nations " The Lord has done great things for us, And we are glad".

Those who despised you thought they are doing you evil But they actually pushed you into your place of fulfillemnt, they moved you from your comfort zone into to your miracle, they forced you to run into your divine purpose and transfered you from imprisonment into your palace. 

For they mean't it for evil But God turn it to your good, they mean't it for disgrace But God turn it for your advantage and increase, they mean't it for your downfall but God turn it for your upliftment, they mean't it to terminate you but God turn it for your establishment.

Remember that at the end, that Joseph's brothers came to purstrate before him, so his dream came to past. If the dreamer is alive, that means his dream is also alive. As long as God Would grant you grace to live on this earth, My prayer is that " you shall not die unfulfilled, you will surely live to become whom God has called you to be and you will never meet those whom you are not meant to meet to fulfill your destiny and you will never miss those whom you must meet to fulfill your destiny in Jesus name".

Remember a man called Mephiboseth son of Jonathan, a grandson to King Saul, who lost his father and grand father during the war and also fell down from the hand of his maid and was paralised, he could no longer lived like a prince, he was living in a dungeon for many years, he was forgotten, he lost his royalty, was unable to enjoy himself as a prince, could not walk or do things the way he would have loved to , But at the appointed time, God remembered him through king David who asked if there is anyone left in the house Saul for the sake of Jonathan ?and was told that there was a man called Mephiboseth, And King David sent for him, He was brought back to the palace, washed, cleansed, dressed up with beautiful robes, sat down and dine with the king, was given maids and servants, his inheritance was given to him,he royalty was restored.(2 Samuel 9:1-13) I don't know if your case is similar to this, or which ever form it is, and you at present where you are due to you been abandoned,rejected, hatred,or for any other reasons, the same God who remembered Mephiboseth through David  will also remeber you, the same God that remember Paul and Salais inside the prison will remember you and set you free, the same God who remember Daniel in the den of lion will also remember you, the same God who remember Joseph and moved him from prison into the palace will also remember you and the same God who was with  Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego will be with you and deliver you in Jesus name.(Daniel 3:12-28)

Always remember that great things, good things, beautiful things will always attracts the devil But if God be for you, who then can be against you / NO ONE, PRAISE THE LORD !!!!!!!!!!

If men leaves you, as long as God is with you, you have nothing to fear, When people of this world forsake you, as long as the Holy Spirit in dwelling inside of you, you are saved; Psalm 23:4 "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evi; For You are with me, Your rod and staff, they comfort me. Psalm 51:11" Do not cast me away from your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirirt from me" Please let your hunger ever be to be filled with the Holy Ghost on daily basis. "The bible says as many as led by the Holy spirit, they are the sons of God," Let the Holy Spirit be your best friend, your soul director and your senior partner, because He was given to you to comfort you, to teach you all things, to equip you, to ignite and quicken your spirit and tell you what is to come.

 

FEAR NOT !!!   FOR YOU ARE NOT FORSAKEN, JESUS CHRIST IS ON THE THRONE WATCHING  OVER YOU 24/7

Psalm 121:1-6  I will  lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

MY DEAR PEOPLE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

 

Yours in Christ,
