HIS PRESENCE AND POWER

KO HONO LOTOLOTONGA´ MO HONO IVI´

ISAIAH 41:10

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

‘AISEA 41:10

‘Oua ‘e manavahē, he ‘oku ou ‘iate koe ‘e au; ‘oua ‘e kilokilo holo, he ko ho ‘Otua au: te u poupou koe ‘e au; ‘io, te u tokoni kiate koe; ‘io, te u pukepuke koe ‘aki ‘a e to‘omata‘u ‘o ‘eku faitotonu.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko Kalasi pe    

We shall do well to stand toward Christ as those who are conscious of His power and presence. Brethren, our Lord is with us. The best of all is that He is with us indeed and of a truth. If we are with Jesus, and preach His truth, Jesus is assuredly with us; for He said, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." That promise was not a pretty piece of romance; it is true that He is with us at this hour. Let us believe it, and act accordingly.

If we do not always feel His brightness, let us, like the flowers, turn toward the Sun. When the sun is not shining, the flowers know where there is most of light, and their faces turn that way. Let us be true heliotropes, or turners to the Sun.
