OUR SHELTER-3

 Text : Psalms 61:3

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Yesterday, we saw how Jesus' name is a strong tower that you can run into for salvation.

Today, we shall be looking at how you can run into the name in order to access salvation (safety and protection).

 *A sinner who has not first of all find salvation in the name of Jesus cannot be guaranteed of safety in the name of Jesus.* Only the righteous is guaranteed an access and safety in Jesus' name.

So many 'Christians' are like the seven sons of Sceva. They are willing to use the name of Jesus to cast out devils, (willing to use His name for things) but they are not willing to submit to the Lordship of the name. You must have a stronger desire to submit to the Lordship of the name of Jesus than mere usage of the name. 

By this, you will be able to access the multifaceted treasures that is in the name of Jesus.

Romans 10:13 says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, but the verse 14 says how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?..."  

So, the first thing you must do is to believe in the name of Jesus, then you can call upon the name. 

If you are yet to believe in the name of Jesus or you are a backsider, this is the right time for you to confess Him as your Saviour and Lord.

Bible reading: Psalms 91:1-16

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father, I trust you and run into you as my shelter.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
