GOD WILL HELP YOU

There is a difference between "I will never LEAVE you" and "I will never FORSAKE you." To leave you is to stop upholding you; to let go of you and let you sink. While to forsake is to abandon. 

Someone can forsake you when your burden becomes too heavy for him to bear. He can forsake you when you become a source of shame and embarrassment to him. He can forsake you when you become a source of pain to him. He can forsake you when being with you becomes dangerous.

But God will Never leave you nor forsake you. He is only waiting for your cry for mercy and help to intervene for your good. It is only when you understand that God has not forsaken you that you can boldly call for His help.

"So that we may BOLDLY say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." (Hebrews 13:6).

IT'S A COVENANT THING

This is not just about you. It is because of what Christ has done for you. It is because you are in Christ. He took your place in all curses. On the Cross Christ has redeemed you from the curse of being forsaken by God. 

"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice... My God, my God, why have you FORSAKEN ME? (Matthew 27:46).

So the promise never to forsake you was actually made to Christ. God is a covenant keeping God. For Him to break His covenant is to fail to be God. That's one point. Second, God is too loving to forsake you now. It was in His love that He offered up Christ to die in your place. Thirdly, God is all powerful. There is no enemy or circumstance that can ever come against you that will scare Him and make Him to forsake you. God is greater than all. 

FEAR NOT!

√ You may be persecuted now, but you are NOT FORSAKEN*. 

√ You may have sinned, but God has not forsaken you.

√ You may be sick now, but God has not forsaken you.

√ You may be poor now, but God has not forsaken you.

√ You may be jobless now, but God has not forsaken you.

√ You may be hungry now, but God has not forsaken you

√ You may be single now or a single mother, but God has not forsaken you.

√ You may be in prison now, but God has not forsaken you*.

√ You may be homeless now, but God has not forsaken you.

√ You may be confused now, but God has not forsaken you.

CRY OUT TO GOD

Though God will never forsake you; you can forsake Him. If you are not in Christ you have forsaken God. 

Your first cry should be; "Jesus, Have mercy on me. Save my soul. Be my Savior and my Lord!"

Then cry out to God for His help. "Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, you are my Helper! Have mercy on me. Help me now!"

In the name of Jesus Christ it shall be well with you!

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...

“Why Haven’t You Asked?”

Unlocking the Overflow of the Father’s Heart "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" — Matthew 7:11 (NKJV) There are few verses in Scripture more revealing of God’s heart than this one. In just a few words, Jesus turns our understanding of prayer upside down—not by emphasizing our performance, but by spotlighting the overwhelming generosity of the Father . This verse is not just an invitation to pray—it’s a wake-up call to stop living beneath our inheritance . It confronts us with a simple but life-changing truth: There are good things God has already prepared for His children that only those who ask will ever receive. 1. A Father Who Loves to Give Jesus begins with a comparison every listener could understand: earthly parents and their children . Even flawed, sinful humans know how to give good gifts to their kids. We save, sacrifice, and somet...
