Matthew 9:35-38 (NKJV)
The Compassion of Jesus Christ
35 Then JESUS went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease [a]among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were [b]weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
About Our Evangelism
Christian evangelism is the call to share the Good News of JESUS CHRIST with all people. Jesus commissioned His followers, saying, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HOLY SPIRIT” (Matthew 28:19, NKJV). Evangelism is driven by love, as expressed in John 3:16: “For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Through evangelism, we fulfill CHRIST'S command in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” It is an act of obedience, sharing hope and salvation with a world in need.
We are never too young or old to preach the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST. Come join us!
Matthew 28:16-20 (NKJV)
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 And JESUS came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HOLY SPIRIT, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [b]Amen.

TITLE: THE GOD WHO REDEEMS US FROM SIN WILL NOT LET LIFE’S TRIALS CRUSH US
Dear Child of GOD, Life’s trials can be overwhelming, but we have a GOD Who is actively involved in our lives. He fights our battles and leads us through challenges, showing us that we are never alone. GOD is not a passive observer—He is working on our behalf. In John 16:33, CHRIST assures us: "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
SCRIPTURES:
Deuteronomy 1:29-30:
"Then I said to you, ‘Don’t be terrified. Don’t be afraid of them. YAHWEH your GOD who goes before you will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.’"
ALSO READ:
Hebrews 11
GOD requires us to have faith. However, the journey of faith is not easy, not necessarily because of our actions, but because of our commitment to CHRIST that triggers satanic opposition against our lives. The enemy of our souls, satan, and his forces aim to derail our faith through trials and spiritual battles, which can often feel intense. In such moments, we may become immobilized by fear, anxiety, and worry, focusing on the negatives rather than GOD’S ’Power. GOD’S Word in Jeremiah 31:3 reminds us of His Unfailing Love:
"YAHWEH appeared of old to me, saying, ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.’" God’s Love is active, and His Commitment to those who are under JESUS CHRIST, love and trust Him, is unshakable. He fights for us, supports us, and never abandons us in difficult situations. His Love includes not only His Promises of blessings but also His Powerful Intervention during trials. Psalm 46:1 declares: "GOD is our Refuge and Strength, a very present Help in trouble."
GOD’S Unchanging Character and Power assure us that we are never alone in our struggles. As we trust Him through life’s challenges, we demonstrate faith that overcomes fear, anxiety, and worry. Trials should not rob us of the victory CHRIST has already secured. We can learn from the Israelites who stood at the edge of the Promised Land but let fear, anxiety, worry, and incessant complaining hold them back. Their focus on the giants, fortified cities, and strong enemies caused them to forget GOD’S Deliverance in Egypt and His Provision in the wilderness. This lack of faith led to forty years of wandering. However, the next generation anchored their faith in GOD’S Promises, and they entered the Promised Land. The same challenges remained—giants, fortified cities, and enemies—but they trusted GOD’S Word in Deuteronomy 1:29-30, "Then I said to you, ‘Don’t be terrified. Don’t be afraid of them. YAHWEH your GOD Who goes before you will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.’"
GOD’S past Faithfulness is the foundation for present and future trust in Him. The GOD Who Provided, Protected, and Guided us before will help us face today’s challenges with confidence. Through JESUS CHRIST, Who Defeated sin and death through His Sacrifice and Resurrection, we are assured of ultimate Divine Victory. Like the Israelites, we must place our faith completely in GOD, not in our strength or fears. We fight our battles on our knees, surrendering them to GOD with daily gratitude, thanksgiving, worship, praise, and holy living. Fasting as led by the HOLY SPIRIT, allowing Him to fight for us. His Power and Faithfulness will lead us into the Blessings He has prepared.
DECLARATIONS
Please make the following declarations with me:
1. GOD is my Refuge, Fortress, and Strength, a very present help in any challenge or difficulty I experience, in JESUS' Mighty Name, Amen.
2. GOD fights my battles and leads me through challenges, showing me that I am never alone, in JESUS' Mighty Name, Amen.
3. I fight my battles on my knees, surrendering them to GOD, and allowing Him to fight for me, in JESUS' Mighty Name, Amen.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Stay blessed and have a glorious week , in JESUS' Mighty Name, Amen.

[Note: We've made a writer's decision to capitalize the words 'GOD' (and all His Names), 'JESUS CHRIST,' The 'HOLY SPIRIT', and their attributes as a form of reverence. Furthermore, although the word "Satan" is a noun, we've opted to write the first letter "S" in lower case "s", to signify his demotion by GOD. Therefore, in all our publications, we write the word/noun "Satan" as "satan".]
