OUR SHELTER


 
Text : Psalms  61:3

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

We live in critical and perilous times. The globe is being threatened in every possible way one could imagine. Romans  8:22 says that we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

Since the fall, our first parents(Adam and Eve) there's no place in this whole wide world that is safe anymore. Our first parents fell out of their safe haven and thereby exposing the whole of humanity to the devil and its evils.

While in the garden of Eden, God was their very habitation. I believe that Eden was both a geographical location and a spiritual environment that is enveloped with God's manifest presence.

*Today, no place in the whole wide world is safe except the secret place of the most High God, and that is, His presence.*  

The kind of house you dwell in determines the kind of protection you are liable to receive. One who lives in a woody shelter stands a danger of easily getting his shelter gulped with fire, and this can lead to death.

Some countries today have designed  massive bunkers(underground structures) in order to protect their citizens from nuclear attacks, rockets, missiles and epidemics. As you can see, the bunker as compared to a normal house in the face of war is a better and stronger shelter. But even bunker cannot shield anyone away from spiritual attacks. 

The only safest place on earth today is God's haven -His presence. Hence, you need to run into God. *You must make God your very habitation before you can be guaranteed 100% safety in the now and forever.* 

The scripture says that a thousand shall fall at your side; and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked. Psalms 91:7. 

The terror of the night, arrow that flies by day, pestilence that walks in darkness and pestilence that waste at noonday  shall not come near you simply because you are under God's covering. 

You must see to it that you become an 'abider' under God's presence, and you will be at peace even in the face of turbulence that is looming upon the earth. 

An abider is not one who casually serves the Lord. He is not a nominal Christian, but one who truly serves, trusts and obeys the Lord. 

It is not too late to run into God for refuge now. He is our true refuge and shelter.

 *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...

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
