However, as the children of God\u2019s kingdom \u2013 even though we are in the world together with everyone \u2013 we know that God remains the same, He\u2019s not shocked by the events in the world and He has been faithful to His Word and kept His commitment to His people. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). If we take a moment to look back into the year 2020, consider all our experiences, our wins and our losses, we will see that God has been good to us as He has always been and that we have so many reasons to be thankful. As we close this year reflecting on these things, let us keep on looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Let us keep standing our ground, listening out for and obeying His instructions, using our God given authority wherever God has positioned us. His will shall ultimately be done in our lives and on the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a Merry Christmas and a glorious New Year 2021 ahead.
