1 Chronicles 16: 29-34.

Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! 30 Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it. Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord, For He is coming to judge the earth. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. (NKJV)

Friends, in this pandemic situation, we can see that God’s faithful love never changes. Maybe before this pandemic, we could still do our ministry, go to schools, and do other activities, but after this pandemic all of our activities stopped completely. Even so, God’s love never fails. Two thousand years ago Jesus died on the cross; His love stays the same. Two thousand years ago also, Jesus healed the sick, God’s love also never changed.

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. Friends, remember that God’s faithful love never fails and until this moment God’s love remains the same.

The preaching of the Word of God was continued by Brother Basril, taken from Luke 11:9. So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (NKJV)

These are the words of the Lord Jesus that tell us that He is our Father and we are His children. And He also said that we need to ask Him if we are experiencing pain at the moment. Just believe in God! Because Jesus Himself said, “Ask, it will be given to you.” Jesus is very powerful; with simple words He was able to calm the storm. With the words “peace, be still!” then the storm was calm. God also has power over human life. Lazarus had been dead for four days, but was raised up by God. There are many more miracles that Jesus has done. Today, if you experience pain, then ask for healing. You just need to believe in God. Jesus loves us all very much. He was willing to sacrifice Himself, so that we would be saved and by His stripes we are healed. Jesus is able to heal us as long as we ask Him.
