People see these occurrences as:
A time for death and destruction,
A time for pain and suffering,
A time for panic and scare,
A time for scientific solutions and precautions, and also a time for unity and brotherhood.
However, in the eyes of a believer…
We believe this is a time to strengthen our faith and trust in the one Eternal God, Creator and Lord of heaven and earth, who governs all things according to the purpose of His will.
We believe that these occurrences came from our Father, The Creator (Genesis 1 -2).
We believe in His wisdom (Romans 16:27) that these happened for a reason.
We believe in His greatness, mighty power and unlimitless understanding (Psalm 147:5).
We believe that those who trust in God finds comfort in His power and that the power of God is
the only source of protection and not of man’s wisdom or his scientific solutions or equipments,
For it is written: 1 Corinthians 2:5, nkjv
“ that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men
but in the power of God ”
We believe that in these hard times God is with us and that we don’t have to fear
For it is written: Psalm 46:1-3, nkjv
“ God is our refuge and strength.
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be remove,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be trouble,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. ”
We believe that God protects his children,
For it is written: Psalm 91:1-2, 9-11, nkjv
“ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways. “
We believe that our faith in the Lord has its benefits,
For it is written: Psalm 103: 2-5, nkjv
“ Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, ”
We believe that our prayers will be heard and that our minds will be at peace with God (Philippians 4:6-7).
We believe in what our Lord Jesus said to us, “not to worry…” about our lives for the Father value us more than anything (Mathew 6:25-26). For if ever death shall come upon us, then we shall offer ourselves to the Lord.
For it is written: Psalm 116:15, nkjv
“ Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His saints ”
We believe that these great sufferings are not worthy, to be compared with the Glory which God has planned for us (Romans 8:18) that these are just of our flesh, what awaits us is greater than anything of this world.
And we believe in our Lord Jesus Christ that through him we can find peace of mind, that when He questions us … where is your faith? (Luke 8: 25) during these storms,
Then we shall wholeheartedly and gloriously say … our faith is in You O Loving Lord.
For it is written: Jeremiah 17: 7-8, nkjv
“ 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. ”
GLORY TO GOD.
