Exhorting the congregation from Nahum 1:7, which is the promise for the week, Pastor Nomthi at the January 8 Sunday service declared that the Lord is good and a stronghold in the day of trouble for those who trust in Him. “God is always good and He will always be there for you. All you need to do is trust Him,” she said.
According to Pastor Nomthi, there would always be a day of trouble because the devil is angry out there and walking about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour ignorant people. But his paws, she said, cannot touch God’s children because they are already hidden under the shadow of His wings. “There is no problem too big for God and once you are hidden under His wings, the devil’s attack can’t get to you,” she said.
She urged everyone not to try to confront their challenges with their own strength or power because that shows a lack of trust in God and it would further make things more difficult and stressful for them. In her words, “Trying to solve your problems by yourself takes a longer time than when you run straight to the stronghold because that is where you are safe.”
