 *TOPIC:  YOU ARE NOT ALONE*

 _” Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6._

 *MESSAGE*
Loneliness is a serious problem in life. It creates fear and trembling in people’s lives. It causes people to run helter-skelter and probably find themselves in one secret cult or the other for the sake of protection.

When Moses was handing over to Joshua to lead the Israelites, he gave them words of encouragement to extinguish the fear in them. The Israelites had encountered so many oppositions and confrontation in the course of their journey from Egypt to the promised. Land. The presence of Moses always gave them courage to cope. They saw themselves as being left alone at the departure of Moses knowing they still had a journey ahead; what would happen to them when their adversaries’ surface? This and many questions were in their thoughts. Moses told them of the power of God that conquers every fear and intimidation of the enemies, he made them understand that they were not alone.

Beloved, you are not alone, the God whom you serve is always present with you at every given time. When you seem to be lonely always remember His promise, ‘I am with thee’. Don’t be discouraged, don’t be defeated in your mind. You are not alone, the captain of the battle is always near you, from experience, God never forsakes those He loves.  He upholds them and gives them victory. He is able to protect, perfect, deliver and keep that which he has established unto the  end. You are not alone–Praise God.
