“The Lord Raised Up a Deliverer”
Brother Honoré Mulumba...and his family were some of the few people who remained hidden in their house...A group of the militiamen came to their home and then pulled them out and told them to choose to adhere to their militia practices or be killed. Brother Mulumba courageously told them, “I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My family and I have accepted Jesus Christ and have faith in Him. We will remain faithful to our covenants and will accept to die.” They... promised to come back. But they never did... Brother Mulumba and his family kept the torch of their faith alight. They remembered their covenants and were protected.

The immediate goodness of God comes to all who call upon Him with real intent and full purpose of heart. This includes those who cry out in earnest desperation, when deliverance seems so distant and suffering seems prolonged, even intensified…God also gives immediate hope for eventual deliverance. Jesus Christ is the Great Deliverer, and in His name, I promise that as you turn to Him with real intent and full purpose of heart, He will deliver you from everything that threatens to diminish or destroy your life or joy.

[L]et us be more open, more willing to talk of Christ. President Nelson said, “True disciples of Jesus Christ are willing to stand out, speak up, and be different from the people of the world.” ...As the world speaks less of Jesus Christ, let us speak more of Him. As our true colors as His disciples are revealed, many around us will be prepared to listen. As we share the light we have received from Him, His light and His transcendent saving power will shine on those willing to open their hearts.

In life, we constantly confront many important choices. For example: Choosing whether or not we will follow God’s commandments. Choosing to have faith and recognize when miracles happen or to skeptically wait for something to happen before choosing to believe only then… Our world today is often characterized by fear and anxiety—fear of what the future might bring for us. But Jesus has taught us to trust and “look unto [Him] in every thought; doubt not, fear not.”... Choose to believe. Choose to have faith in Jesus Christ. Choose to always trust God.

Small, seemingly insignificant things you do can make a big difference. I read about some small glowworms found in caves in New Zealand. Each one by itself produces only an insignificant pinpoint of light. But when millions of them light up a cave one by one, they produce enough light by which one can actually read. Likewise, each of our little deeds may share only a pinpoint of light, but added together they begin to make a significant difference.

What is it about making and keeping covenants with God that gives us the power to smile through hardships, to convert tribulation into triumph... they produce the faith necessary to persevere and to do all things that are expedient in the Lord. Our willingness to take upon us the name of Christ and keep His commandments requires a degree of faith, but as we honor our covenants, that faith expands...Our covenant commitment to Him permits our Heavenly Father to let His divine influence, “the power of godliness”, flow into our lives… Divine covenants make strong Christians.
