We worship a God who created everything — the heavens, the earth, the universe, and all that exists within it. A God so vast that even today, science is still trying to understand the depth and detail of His creation.

And yet, the same God who created it all… created you.

His Word reminds us that heaven and earth may pass away, but His Word will remain forever.
A truth that has stood firm across generations — unchanging, unwavering, and alive.

But what does that mean for us today, in the middle of our everyday lives?

In this episode, we reflect on one of God's powerful promises — that God is always with us, and He will never leave nor abandon us.

“For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So what are you going through right now?
• Are you facing a challenging situation at work or a looming deadline?
• Do you feel like you’ve reached a dead end with no clear way forward?
• Are you experiencing loneliness, uncertainty, or feeling empty?
• Or are you just tired of the struggle, of the push and pull?

This episode will remind you that you are not alone, not even for a moment.
Jesus Himself understands what it means to feel abandoned.
And yet, His promise to us is clear: He will never leave us.

So what changes when we truly begin to believe and acknowledge this truth?
How does our perspective shift when we realise that the Creator of the universe is right there with us in every moment?

Join in as we explore what happens when this simple yet powerful truth moves from something we know… to something we can truly live by.

Because sometimes, the greatest comfort and strength comes from remembering this —
He is with you, always.

It's a wonderful day, and I want to get straight into it, and I want to tell you. Stick with me this morning, pay attention to the word of God. It's uh it's truly uh an amazing day, and this day will change a lot of things for you. And I'm I'm I'm today actually taking you back straight to the beginning. I'm taking you back to creation. And it uh I want to tell you it's so beautifully captured in the book of uh Genesis, and you should read it sometime. In fact, it starts from the first chapter, the very first verse, and it says that and I'm reading it to you uh just for the first four verses. And as I want to say, it's it's just beautifully captured what God actually does and how everything is made, and it's believe me, it's just a glimpse. And in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters, and then God said, Let there be light, and there was light, and God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. Hallelujah. I told you, creation and the Almighty at work, and it's it's beautiful. He sets the heavens and the earth in place, the Bible says, from the very first book in the very first chapter, and he sets light and dark apart, and he sets day and night, and let there be light, are his words, and there was light, and he found it good. And then I want to tell you there's uh if you read it, it talks about the waters, he separates the waters from the ground, and he sets the sky in place, then grass and trees, and fruit yielding trees, and the ones that gave out seed, the stars, the sun, the moon, the birds flying in the sky, the creatures of the great sea, the living creatures on land, the beasts, the animals and the insects, and then man made in the image of God. Hallelujah, made in the likeness of God. And as I started with telling you this morning, I'm gonna talk to you about creation just as a start, and that was creation in a nutshell that is just actually documented as how God just started off, and then he created man in his own image, and in the words spoken by God, creation happened. Hallelujah. And as I said, sometimes if you ever want to know how it how it all began, start with the book of Genesis and just read it, the first chapter, it'll give you a clear indicator of how we're all on this planet. And now I'm taking you many, many generations after, and now Jesus has come down to this planet. And there's this time, and you most of you know, and most of you, maybe some of you don't, but Jesus He was here and you know He He healed people, the lame walked, the paralyzed got up, the blind got their sight back, he healed every possible disease or disease on this planet or any illness that was even known to mankind. And I want to tell you that he was here to do a job, and that's not what I'm here to share, but he was here to do a job and he makes disciples, he goes and teaches in the synagogues, he goes after the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And there's this one time when Jesus is talking to the crowds, he's already got his disciples in place, and people are flocking to him everywhere he goes, he's got tons of people who believe in what he is here to speak about on this planet. And this is just amazing. And I'm sharing with you from the book of Matthew, and you should mark this down. If you understand this, it'll change the way you look at things, it'll change your life. The book of Matthew, the 24th chapter, the 35th verse, 24, 35, it says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Hallelujah. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The heaven and earth was created by God, and I just told it to you, as I said, you can read it in the book of Genesis. And Jesus tells us that heaven and earth will pass, but his word and his words will not pass. Hallelujah. I want to tell you, everything will come and go, everything you understand on this planet that you know as knowledge will change, seasons will happen, jobs will come and go, people will come and go, generations will pass. Heaven and earth, Jesus says, could pass, but his words will remain. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. What a beautiful passage of scripture, and it's so easy to just miss it because it's just it's in the middle of so many things that he says to his disciples, to the crowds, to the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And most of us know the scripture from John 1, which says, In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, the word was God. In the beginning, he was there when heaven and earth was created. Everything was made through him. Nothing that was made was not made through him. Hallelujah. And then that word became flesh and came on this planet. And Jesus, that word is telling you and me this morning, everything will pass. I started with Genesis 1 for a reason because that's how it all began. So Jesus is telling you and me this morning the beginning and the end can pass, but my words will never pass. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You need to understand that this beautiful morning, because just this is just the foundation of what I want to get into. And I want to tell you this beautiful day that I do have a short word, it's not very long, but if you understand it, and that's what I started with, if you understand it today, and the way you look at your life will change completely. So I'm going back to it, Matthew 24, 35 heaven and earth will pass, but my words by no means will pass. That means everything that's in this Bible, his word, this book will remain. Everything will come and go, but this book, hallelujah, his words will remain, hallelujah. Hallelujah. And I want to tell you that you need to understand this beautiful morning. There are so many things in the Bible, there are so many things that are written in the Bible, and the Bible also says that everything is ye an amen in Jesus. You know, it's it can get really confusing and very deep, but I'm not getting into that. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. Because if you understand that in the beginning, creation happened when Jesus was there, and it was it happened through his words and through him, and then Jesus came on his planet, and then he says, Everything will pass, but my words will remain. That means you need to understand this beautiful morning. Everything in this book, his words are yea, and amen in him. Hallelujah. It's deep, I told you, but I'm trying to make it as simple as possible. And there are so many things in the Bible, but today I'm here to share one. And I believe this is what everyone needs to hear this beautiful morning. A reminder for each and every one of you, including me. That no matter what happens, heaven and earth will pass. But this will never pass. And I'm sharing it with you from the book of Hebrews, the 13th chapter, which says, He himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. Amen. Hallelujah. The creator of heaven and earth who has made you and me is here to tell you and me this beautiful morning that I will never leave you nor forsake you. It's Hebrews 13:5 for those of you who need to make a note. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Now let me give you a perspective on this, and some of you might think a little different because you might be in a you know, maybe in a different uh position right now in life. You might be going through something this very moment, maybe a personal situation, maybe a I don't know, a healthy cup, maybe a situation at home that seems to make you feel under the water. Maybe a personal matter that's hard to overcome, maybe a financial one. And I want to tell you this morning there are times which uh we are human, right? We all go through these emotions, and there might be a time when you feel abandoned and low. You feel everyone has deserted you and gone, you feel the people who supported you at one time are now standing with their fingers pointing at you, and you're all alone on one side of the room. Maybe your closest friend who's with you all the time is now against you, does not agree with your your thought process or maybe your approach to certain things. Maybe your family is no longer at your side. It doesn't matter this beautiful morning. I'm here to tell you it does not matter because the creator of heaven and earth is telling you and me that he will never leave you nor forsake you. Amen. Hallelujah. And aligned with his word, heaven and earth will pass, but he will never leave you nor forsake you. Hallelujah. That's beautiful, and that's if you understand that this morning, you'll understand that you're never alone. Hallelujah. You know, if you ever read this passage of scripture, it doesn't say I'll check my schedule. God doesn't say that, Jesus doesn't say that he'll check his schedule to see if he's available. Oh, I'm dealing with some situation in another part of the globe, I'm not available right now for you. Oh, my calendar is blocked. You'll need to pick another time slot. No. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Hallelujah. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Some of you can feel a tremendous presence of God, and I want to tell you, yes, it is him because this is his word for you and for me this morning, and he's here, he sent me here to tell you that he will never leave you nor forsake you. And I want to tell you that I'm giving you another example. We all know about the story of Abraham, and you know God had a different relationship with Abraham, he had a wonderful relationship with Abraham, and you'll say, Why Abraham? The Bible says Abraham believed God and was accounted to him in righteousness. So God probably knew beforehand that I go to Abraham and whatever I tell him, he'll just do. That's between God and Abraham. And naturally, Abraham did. But I won't tell you this this beautiful day that God went to Abraham and told him that he'll make him the father of many nations. And do you know, not even once the Bible says that Abraham doubt God. He was just an old man. He was 75 when God decided to take him out of his father's home. 75 is completely in a comfort zone. Some of you hearing might have crossed that age, and you know what it's like to be moved at the age of 75. And God took Abraham out of his father's home. And every time he took him, you know, he sat next. By the way, God had a very different relationship with Abraham. He spoke to him in person. Hallelujah. And he kept, you know, there are multiple times where he's spending time with Abraham, and he takes him uh, you know, to an open place and he sits next to him and he tells him, Look at the sky, Abraham, these are the number of descendants you will have. And Abraham said, Yes, Lord, so be it, Lord. And Abraham was, wait for it, 99. And God keeps saying this to him, and Abraham keeps saying, Yes, Lord, so be it, Lord. He's 99, he doesn't have a son or a daughter. Hallelujah. But Abraham believed, and after that, he gets a child, a son called Isaac. And then as the his as history goes, Isaac too has a family, and he has Jacob and Esau, and there's this time. Jacob, by the way, stands for cheat. It means cheat, and he actually tried to cheat his brother because his brother was coming first, and there was a birthright blessing for the firstborn. So he tries to cheat his brother and try to come out first, but he couldn't. So he was actually second, but he still cheated him and got his birthright blessing. And then he's running. Jacob is running his entire life from his brother, who's trying to kill him. And there's this time for most of you, some of you know and some of you don't, and it's a tremendous, it's a life-changing experience. Where Jacob actually uh he has a time with God and he wrestles with God until he gets a blessing out of him. If if you if you've ever been at that point in life where there's nowhere to go, and you just have one option, and that is, I'm not letting you go from here. Hallelujah. And that's what happened with Jacob, by the way. He wrestles with God, and God has to uh you know, he has to snap his hip just so that he lets him go because the sun is about to come up. Anyway, God blesses Jacob. And here's that blessing from Genesis the 28th chapter, the 15th verse. You can mark it down. Genesis 28, 15. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave until I have done what I have spoken. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I am with you, I will keep you wherever you go. Hallelujah. As I said today, some of you will experience God at a whole new level. Some of you are experiencing him right now. Let me tell you something else. He's not a respecter of people, he did it for Abraham, he did it for Isaac, he did it for Jacob. He will do it for you. And you need to understand today, Jesus, when he came on this planet, if he decided to say these words, that I have made heaven and earth, and that will pass, but my words will not pass. That means you need to understand that this word, that I will never leave you nor forsake you, is 100%. Hallelujah. And as I said, Jacob knew it. Jacob knew it so much that um he knew very well that his brother's going to take his life, just to let you know. That he wrestled with God and he said, I will not let you go till you bless me. Hallelujah. That's next level, isn't it? And God says, Today I make you Israel. God made Jacob a nation. If you even understand what that means, in the sight of God, he made him a nation because you have wrestled with God and you've wrestled with man. And I will go with you wherever you go. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That's not enough. I'll take you many generations after that. And yes, Jacob has become a nation, and now it's Israel, and Israel is in slavery, and God takes them out through Moses. And you you heard it about a week ago from here. And God gets angry with the people of Israel, and he doesn't take them into the promised land. That generation of people for a different reason, which I'm not getting into. But there's, you know, he makes a promise to Moses. He did amazing things through Moses. He did stuff which you cannot even imagine through Moses. And Moses does not enter the promised land. And this is the time when God goes and tells Moses that it's time for you now to pass the reins on to someone else. That must have been really hard, but uh, as I said, not for today. Deuteronomy 31, 6. Deuteronomy 31.6 says, be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or in dread. For the Lord your God is the one who is going with you. He will not desert you nor abandon you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It's the same thing yet again. God is telling Moses to go and tell Joshua, by the way. Tell him this, tell him. He tells Moses that the people are secure. And the NKJV version says, Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them. For the Lord your God, he is the one who goes with you, he will not leave you nor forsake you. Hallelujah. And I want to tell you, Moses, after this, handed over the reins to Joshua, and this is the promise that is made to him. Do you you need to fathom this? So, this entire time that Moses led the people of Israel out of slavery, and before he got Into the promised land, God never even spoke to Moses, not even once. And now can you just imagine taking over from Moses and leading these 500,000, probably 600,000 plus people into a land that God has promised their forefathers, which by the way started with Abraham, and I've already shared that story with you. I will never leave you, nor forsake you. The next generation I will never leave you nor forsaken. The next generation I will never leave you nor forsake you. Now he's with Israel and he's angry with them, and he's still telling them, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. Do you even understand that? Hallelujah. And I'm going to take you to this last patch of scripture that I want to share with you this beautiful morning. Sticking to the same story and the same lineage and the same timelines. And now it's Joshua's time. And Joshua goes into the place which you know is the tent of meeting. And this is the first time that God is ever speaking to Joshua. And he makes a promise to him. And here it is from the book of Joshua 1:5. No one will be able to oppose you all the days of your life. Amen. And just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you. I will not desert you nor abandon you. Hallelujah. No man shall stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let me tell you how this panned out for Joshua. He never lost a single battle. He knew that God was with him. The Bible says that there is this time where God has never heeded the voice of man as he did. The voice of Joshua, where Joshua made the sun stand still and the moon stand still just to destroy his enemy. Hallelujah. Can you even imagine that? Because he knew what God told him, that he will never leave him nor forsake him. And he just knew it. And that person, Joshua, who's just a man, made the sun stand still. Hallelujah. Because he knew God was with him. If God is telling you and me this beautiful morning, and get it, he is telling you and me this beautiful morning that he will never leave you nor forsake you. Oh, you better believe it. Jesus says, My heaven and earth will pass, but my words will never pass. And his word for you today is, I will never leave you nor forsake you. No matter what you're going through this morning, I can only imagine it might be a difficult situation. I've been through some myself. And though it feels really difficult at the time, I want to tell you again through the word of God, which is reassured to you this morning that He will never leave you nor forsake you. You need to believe it. And this last piece is for someone. I don't know who you are. Philippians 4 13. No matter what you're going through, accept this passage of scripture in your spirit and believe it. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Amen. It's for you. I don't know who you are. This is the last piece that I've got. It's just in here because it needs it's here for you. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Hallelujah. Moses knew it. Abraham knew it. Jacob knew it. Joshua knew it. I can share so many other names that knew it. Today I want to tell you, I leave it with you. You should know it. That he will never leave you nor forsake you. Other versions say, I will never leave you nor abandon you. So no matter what situation you're in, because we're human and we know what that feeling is like, because people can abandon you, they can blame you, they can point fingers at you, they can be there with you for years and be gone tomorrow. But the Creator who has made you through his word, which is faithful and true, is telling you this beautiful morning, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let us pray. Dear Lord, I thank you for this beautiful word, Lord. I thank you for your double-edged sword that does not go back until it has achieved what it has been set out for, Lord. Thank you, Jesus, for what you did on that cross for us. You were obedient to death and death on a cross only for us. You were obedient to a curse for us, Lord. And I thank you, Lord, for your beautiful word today. That's for us. That you will never leave us nor forsake us. Thank you, Jesus. Lord, even though you know that feeling, even while you are on the cross, for those of you who don't know, even Jesus, while he was on the cross, said, Oh Lord my God, why have you forsaken me? Even Jesus has been forsaken, and which is why he's telling you in me this beautiful morning, he will never leave you nor forsake you. Accept this beautiful word, understand it in your spirit, open your heart. Your Father, Jesus, the good shepherd, the one who lays down his life for his sheep, will never leave you nor forsake you. Accept it in your spirit and understand. Understand, let me tell you, Isaiah 52 says, I am always at your right hand. Believe it. It's his word. As I said, he says, You and me, this beautiful morning, heaven and earth will pass, his creation will pass, but his words, his word will never pass. And I want to tell you this beautiful morning, he is always with you, he has never left you. Hallelujah. He's always with you. Thank you, Jesus, for your beautiful promise. Thank you for your presence that people can feel. Thank you, Lord, just because you are with us. Who can be against us? Hallelujah. Thank you for your beautiful presence. People can feel you, Lord. Accept what Jesus is doing with you this beautiful morning. He's taking you to a new place. Enjoy his presence, enjoy this week. He will never leave you nor forsake you. In Jesus' name, I pray.
