[Sermon Note] Never Give Up, Never Lose Hope
Pastor Lawrence
Just one touch from God, your life will never be the same again.
Our God is a healing God. Jesus heals yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is the same yesterday today and forever.
God healed him of the pain and turmoil he has suffered. All the time he had leprosy.
Hebrews 6:12
that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
The key is never give up.
Keep on believing. Your time is coming.
Before the dawn, the night is dark. Dawn is coming. The sun is arising. Let your faith arise. Do not give up.
What do you do when you face evil day?
Never give up.
Continue to believe in God’s word.
Your faith will arise.
God is not a respecter of person. Our healing is found in Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Even when you go through the shadow of valley, God use something which was evil and turn it to good
Let your faith arise and believe God. He will turn everything around for your good.
God is a good God. His goodness is why we praise Him
Psalms 118:1
Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Have hope in your heart that your good Father will turn things around for our good.

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
You are loved by Him, He will ensure you are more than conquerors in every trials.

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Hope does not disappoint because we know God loves us.
The past is the past. Today i want to be baptised with His hope. The children of hope. God wants you to have hope all the days of your lives.
Today expect great things from God
Is time to listen to messages that will inspire us
The hymns It is well with my soul, it was written when tragic hit him. All 4 of his children died. Yet he wrote it is well with my soul.
His eyes were on the finished work of Christ. He believed that his sins have been forgiven.
There is one thing you can always rejoice in. There is one thing you can be thankful for.
At the cross Jesus has provided the perfect salvation.

Nehemiah 9:17
They refused to obey,
And they were not mindful of Your wonders
That You did among them.
But they hardened their necks,
And in their rebellion
They appointed a leader
To return to their bondage.
But You are God,
Ready to pardon,
Gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger,
Abundant in kindness,
And did not forsake them.
Slow to anger
Remember you are forgiven.
Abundant in kindness
…and did not forsake them.
He will never ever forsake you.
Nehemiah 9:18-21
“Even when they made a molded calf for themselves,
And said, ‘This is your god
That brought you up out of Egypt,’
And worked great provocations,
Yet in Your manifold mercies
You did not forsake them in the wilderness.
The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,
To lead them on the road;
Nor the pillar of fire by night,
To show them light,
And the way they should go.
You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them,
And did not withhold Your manna from their mouth,
And gave them water for their thirst.
Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness;
They lacked nothing;
Their clothes did not wear out
And their feet did not swell.
In Your manifold mercies
Nehemiah 9:20
You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, And did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, And gave them water for their thirst.

Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; They lacked nothing;
Their clothes did not wear out
And their feet did not swell.

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
