*I AM WITH YOU, SAYS THE LORD* *“Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s message to the people, saying, ‘I am with you, says the Lord.’” – Haggai 1:13 (NKJV)* This verse from Haggai reminds us of what a true servant of God does: they speak only what God has said. Haggai did not speak his own opinions or ideas—he spoke the Lord’s message. And what was the message? Simple but powerful: *“I am with you, says the LORD”* Today, many people stand behind pulpits and call themselves messengers of God. They preach, teach, and prophesy—but the sad truth is, not all are sent by God. Some are sent by the devil to confuse, discourage, and mislead God’s people. Others send themselves, speaking what they think, not what God has said. Their words bring fear, shame, and control, not life and truth. But the message from the Lord has not changed. Just like in the days of Haggai, I carry the same divine word to you today: *“GOD IS WITH YOU.”* No matter your pain, your loss, or what others say behind your back—God is still with you. Do not let fear, shame, or discouragement take over. Don’t give space to voices that speak from their own minds. God’s message is uplifting. It teaches, guides, and gives you strength. If you want to grow and walk in peace, start listening to His Word. Read your Bible—it is where God’s message is found. Don’t let anyone intimidate you with stories of failure, curses, or bad luck. Even if those closest to you turn against you for standing on what is right, remember: God is with you. He was with Moses in the wilderness, with Joseph in the prison, and with David when everyone thought he could not face Goliath. Even when King Saul chased him to kill him, God was with him. So, if you are living righteously and doing what pleases God, rest assured—He is with you. Keep walking in truth. His presence is your strength. *Prayer:* Lord, help me to hear Your voice, trust Your Word, and walk daily in the peace of Your presence. Amen.
