You know, last week, there was a pastor who was asking for prayer for the Middle East. He says there are young people, 15, 18, 20 years old, young girls and young men who are asking for Bibles.

They have had dreams – that is right – dreams of Jesus Christ.

They want to meet the Man from Galilee. No-one has preached to them but The Lord has put eternity into their hearts.

Keep on praying and God is going to bring the greatest revival that this world has ever seen, very soon.

“The 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.”

A promise from The Lord Jesus Christ!

You know, my friend, when God gives you a promise you can hang on to it and you can stand on it.

What has God promised you today?

Early this morning as I was lying in bed, I heard a pitter-patter on our tin roof, and we heard the noise which warms the heart of every farmer.

It was starting to rain.

It has been very, very dry on the farm.

Don’t watch the elements.

Don’t watch the conditions.

Keep your eyes on Jesus!

Remember, we walk by faith and not by sight.

My dear friend, we need to stand up and be counted and it is not always easy, is it?

Sometimes when you are confronted, “Are you one of those?”

And by the grace of God you have got to say, “Yes, I am and I am not ashamed of it either.”

When you say that, that is when the power of The Lord Jesus Christ comes upon you.

Early this morning before the sun had risen, I received a message from one of my intercessors, and attached to that message was that beautiful song, “No longer a slave to fear.”

And as I was reading in my daily readings, the Word of God came to me in 2 Timothy, Chapter 1 and verse 7:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

When the going gets tough, we always complain against the one who loved us the most.

John Chapter 15 and verse 13 says:

“Greater love has no one than this than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

And that is what Jesus Christ did for you and me on the Cross of Calvary.

We always seem to blame the ones we love the most when things don’t go well.

You know, we are talking about contagiousness.

Well, I want to tell you, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary and “contagious” means - an emotion, attitude, likely to spread and affect others.

No, I am not talking about the Coronavirus. I am talking about the most powerful force in the world, love.

If we look at 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13 in the Holy Bible, it is all about love.

And I just want to say to you that verse 4 says: “Love suffers long and is kind.”

And verse 8 says, “Love never fails.”

We need to be kind to one another.

The Lord says in Luke Chapter 19 and verse 13, “Do business till I come”.

I want to really encourage the businessmen to keep on going.

It is extremely tough at this lockdown time with the coronavirus and men not knowing what the future holds.

The Lord Jesus Christ cares for His people!

He cares for you too, my friend if you put your trust in Him.

The Bible tells us very clearly in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 6, and verse 33: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these (other) things shall be added unto you.”

I remember so clearly as a young believer, a follower of Jesus Christ - you know folks, the greatest surprise for me was that He cares for you and me.

Cast your cares upon Jesus because He cares for you. 1Peter 5:7

My dear friend, we need to respect older people.

We need to respect them because God said so and not even for the sake of the old people but for the sake of ourselves, so that we too can grow into men and women of God that can lead young people into these last days.
