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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
