Pastor Richard Narsoo
Dear Young Christians,
As a senior pastor, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges and trials that accompany the journey of faith. But I want to encourage you today to persevere, knowing that God is faithful and His promises are true.
In the midst of uncertainty and difficulty, hold fast to the hope we have in Christ. He is our anchor in the storm, our rock in times of trouble. No matter what you may be facing—whether it is doubts, fears, or obstacles on your path—remember that God is with you, guiding you and sustaining you with His unfailing love.
In the book of James, we are reminded that the testing of our faith produces perseverance, and perseverance leads to maturity and completeness. So when you find yourself in the midst of trials, consider it an opportunity for growth rather than a setback.
But perseverance is not just about enduring hardships; it is also about pressing on toward the goal that God has set before us. As the apostle Paul wrote, "I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, and let His example inspire you to run with endurance the race set before you.
And remember, you are not alone on this journey. Surround yourself with fellow believers who will encourage and support you along the way. Lean on your church community, seek guidance from mentors, and most importantly, spend time in prayer and fellowship with God.
Finally, I want to leave you with these words of encouragement from the book of Isaiah: "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Trust in the Lord's timing, lean on His strength, and never lose hope in His promises.
May you be filled with courage and perseverance as you continue to walk in faith, knowing that God is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you.
In Christ's love,
Pastor Richard Narsoo
President of Full Gospel Church of God
