“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them” Deuteronomy 33:27 (KJV)
God remains the ultimate security in all life’s journey.
Whether you are in the air, land or sea, you re well secured with the protection HE gives you 24/7.
No matter how sophisticated your enemy may be God is unbeatable.
As you proceed on your different life’s assignments, remember the only guaranteed place of security is God.
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” Psalm 20:7
No matter how secure your security arrangement may be let your final trust be in that name of Jesus.
The only security is Jesus Christ.
Accept Him as your Lord and savior and put all your trust in HIM as you obediently walk and work in HIM.
Remember that ancient hymnal Rock of ages composed by Augustus Toplady (1763)
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.”
The composer Toplady, a preacher in the Blagdon; England was traveling along the gorge when he was caught in a storm. Finding shelter in a gap in the canyon, he was struck by the title and scribbled down the original lyrics.
Whatever and whenever the storms of life that may come your way Jesus Christ is the rock that can guarantee you of all round protection.
Before you set out on daily basis cover yourself in the blood of Jesus and remain in His presence in all your truncations and you will continue to enjoy that unshaken protection of the Almighty God.
What is troubling you today?
What challenges of life are you confronting?
“Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm121:4 (KJV)
Draw strength in the truth today that only the Eternal God is your refuge.
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 (KJV)
Many believers still hold the false mental notion of the god of the world that is all-powerful and in control of the affairs of the earth.
Jesus Christ has wholly defeated him, and he has no power on anything that is yours, which God has assigned to you.
The power he had when Adam fell had been taken back from him at the cross of Calvary and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Its pure deception and other false tricks mainly based on the ignorance of the believers that is making him appear that he still has some control.
Jesus Christ said openly that all the powers are now His.
“Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” Matthew 28:18
We do sing that chorus that “All power belongs to Jesus “
Yes, it is true all power belongs to Jesus because HE took it in the successful fight over satan.
Walk, work and take action with the full knowledge that you are unstoppable in your God-given purpose.
“The Pharisees knew Jesus was the Messiah!” Mr. Armstrong wrote in Mystery of the Ages. “They were familiar with Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 53. But they understood only one Messianic appearance. So they supposed he was planning to overthrow the Roman Empire then!”
They didn’t want a conquering King to overthrow Rome because they rather liked the small positions of governance the Romans allowed them to maintain in Palestine. And so, because they misunderstood the purpose of Christ’s first coming, they fought against Him every step of the way.”
Don’t allow the traditions of men that have been passed down to hinder you from being who God has purposed you to be.
Don’t act in fear of a power out there. Jesus Christ is the Superior and Ultimate Power.
Find out the promises of God concerning the purpose and assignments you are given in life.
For whatsoever you want to achieve in God’s will, there is a scripture that governs it, and there are saints of God who has gotten the victory in such domain.
Listen to testimonies of victory concerning your issue.
Sing that Chorus to yourself, again and again, to remind yourself that “All Power belongs to Jesus and all power belongs to you “
Jesus handed over that power to you.
Stop being limited in your blessing by the defeated and powerless god of this world.
“And it will be said, “Build up, build up, prepare the way, Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.” Isaiah 57:14
My wife Olutoyin and I were driving back home from work, and it appeared that the route seems shorter. I began to think as to what could have reduced the distance and duration. It then dawned on me that all the massive tollgates structures had been removed. Somehow they have placed scanners above the road to collect the fares and all the humans and physical requirements hitherto there were gone. Hence the road users can move better and that’s why I initially thought the road was shorter.
The Bible encourages us to remove every obstacle that will hinder our Christian journey through life.
“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1
What are those things that are hindering your victorious Christian life? You need to consciously remove those habits, traditions of men that does not allow you to be who God has purposed you to be.
Though the removal of the tollgates is technological driven much more the Love Of God and the desire to obey Him should also make us do away with every obstacle in our faith journey.
To attain your goals you need to drop everything that is hindering you and sometimes it’s the good things that keep you away from being better while the better keeps you from becoming your best.
The Apostle Paul demonstrated this focus with his life of commitment which purely emulates what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did by doing only what the Father has sent Him to do all the time.
Will you also focus only on the assignments God has given you so that you can consistently fight only the good fight of faith, which implies that some weights may be the wrong and unnecessary fights?
“The Messiahwill lead you out of exile and bring you through the gates of your cities of captivity, back to your own land. Your King will go before you—the Lord leads on.” Micah 2: 13
Jesus Christ, the author, and finisher of our faith will enable you and empower you to remove every obstacle in your way of success in Jesus Name.
Today I celebrate my faithful friend and lover, the wife of my youth who is always looking young and beautiful every day. I am truly blessed and highly favored to have her not only as my soul mate but a great teammate in all assignments God has given me to do.
“For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so, might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 5:19-21 (KJV)
We all know the consequence of Adam’s sin which subsequently put the man in captivity and the Victory for man which came through the obedience and sacrifice of Jesus Christ our Lord.. Have you ever stop to consider that by you to man in either advancing or regressing in the kingdom of God. ?
By one man you your fellow humans are blessed or further put in perpetual bondage?
Are you saying me? What is the preacher telling me today? Am not Christ? Jesus Christ has done once and for all what is needed, and indeed I am inconsequential in this world and the kingdom of God scenario.
Yes, You as one-man matters.
Whenever you choose to obey God daily and live a victorious life for yourself, you are advancing the kingdom of God on this earth.
Nobody sees me, am not even known by anybody you are still saying to yourself so how does my victorious Christian living our compromise affect the kingdom of God.
Your victory is not just a victory for you but also a victory for your family, fellowship, church and the body of Christ, and when you concede to the enemy, it brings consequences to all those lines linked with you.
Break that chain of the generational curse in your family line today by claiming and walking in the victory God has given you not just for yourself but the strings attached to you.
“Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.” Psalm 19:12(KJV)
Check your heart today and ask God to help you remove hidden faults that are not sometimes visible to you.
By one man, yes by your solo determination the victorious relay race won already by our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to conquer, restore and dominate this world to the Glorious kingdom God has purposed it to be.
Your confident, generous and daily Christ-like acts today is advancing the kingdom of God.
“Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.” Luke 14:17 (KJV)
Can you say “all things are ready: on the various assignments God has given you?
Most of the time when we read this passage in the Bible our focus has always been on the invitation the man gave out to the different categories of people and their responses.
Today I want you to take another perspective on the story and look at the preparedness of the host to say all things are ready.
Event planners have taken over the management of most activities that we do, and sometimes the event planners are not always 100% accurate.
Where are you in the assignments of life that God has given you?
Are all things ready?
Take an inventory of the various goals and objectives you have given yourself to achieve this year and by the way, one full month is already used up in the Brand New 2018. Are all things ready?
You may have to do a checklist of those things you want to get done and earnestly work at it. The man in the story, which is our Father in heaven, works meticulously to deliver on His side of the bargain at all times. He is faithful and ready to work inside of us to achieve those things we have earmarked to do.
We must position ourselves like HIM and be ready to be a Blessing.
Where are you in getting things ready, as you targeted?
Don’t be discouraged.
His mercies are new every morning and do your checklist and see where you are.
Determine to achieve all you have purposed.
Be at work consistently.
Listen and obey HIM, daily, diligently, doing it the way He instructs you.
You should be in a position to say, “All things are now ready “
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Mark 11:23 (KJV)
For you to see the manifestation of what you desire you must say it out first precisely as you want it to happen.
Many of us keep quiet without the verbal expression of those things we want to happen.
Look at the nature of God that made you in His image; HE speaks things into existence. (Genesis 1)
Yes, He speaks something that never existed in reality, and they happen.
To keep quiet and not verbalize your desires is short-circuiting yourself.
Some of our backgrounds had taught us to the contrary that you pray silently especially the misinterpretations of the story Jesus said about the Pharisees and the Sadducees that were praying in the temple. (Luke 18:9-14)
The focus of that parable is about who was the focus of their prayer.
Your prayer is to God and not your neighbor or those near you.
To see the result you have to declare openly with your mouth the things you want God to do which you have searched out from the scriptures and given some thoughts (meditation) and then saying them out to God.
Thank Him immensely and joyfully for answering your prayers before you physically see the results. Surely the results will come provided you reject all the doubts and negative confessions that you may be tempted to say after such prayers.
The real process is your continuous saying and believing what you have said out to God as your prayers and confession.
This action is what removes those mountains and actualizes your true dreams as realities.
As this first month of the New Year is rolling away open your mouth to God and say those things you want to manifest in your life this year.
Don’t go back in any shape and form to cancel with your mouth what you have requested for. Don’t explain it away or rationalize that it’s taking longer then verbally scales it down.
Don’t be ashamed to affirm and affirm again what you believe Him for regardless of the circumstances.
Stay faithful to the Word of God that your requests are rooted in, and you will like Jesus said have whatsoever you have said.
