Text: Psalm 27:10-14
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Message
A story was told of a little girl, named Blessing. She lived in a town in one West African country. She was deeply touched by the harmless and simple lifestyle of her neighbour, and decided to follow the family to a religious meeting. The Preacher that day gave a message that shows the picture of her bad lifestyle. She became sorrowful for her bad ways and in tears, prayed, turned from her sins and asked Jesus to forgive her. Her parents became displeased with her decision. They warned her of serious punishment unless she stopped loving Jesus, but she continued in her faith. She was later disowned and driven away from home. The parents did not ask after her or know where she was for many years.

Fortunately, the brethren in the fellowship accepted Blessing into their home. They sponsored her education through college. After graduating, she got a good job and also became engaged to a fine Christian young man. It was then she went in search of her parents. When they saw her, they became sorry for rejecting their daughter because of her faith in Christ. Do not be afraid when you suffer for Christ’s sake. Continue to love your Saviour, no matter the threat from people. God will take care of you

Prayer for today: Lord, I find comfort in your promise that you will take care of me in all my troubles.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
