MY STRENGTH

Text :  Psalms  27:1.

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
 
Psalms 27 is believed to have been written when David was fleeing from his violently rebellious son, Absalom. 

It's one thing to be betrayed, it's another thing to be betrayed by a very close and trusted friend or family member. It's always highly devastating and crumbling.

Such was the kind of betrayal David experienced in the hand of his own son, Absalom. With such betrayal comes, overwhelming weakness and loss of morale.

However,  David gave a good example of what should be done at such down-times. He boldly declared that:
1.) _The Lord is my light and my salvation._ *If the Lord is not your light and salvation, you will live in fear and despair.* 

This life is full of ups and downs. Everyone will have his own fair share of dark moments, but if the Lord is your light and salvation, you will come out shinning. 

2.) *The Lord is the strength of my life.* David also declared that the Lord is the strength of his life, hence, he'll be afraid of no one.

The best time to garner strength for battle is before the battle comes. You need strength to prevail in the face of difficulties. 

Proverbs 24:10 says If you grow weary when times are troubled, your strength is limited. *The Lord is your only source of unlimited strength, who will see you through every storm.*

Isaiah  40:29 says He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Only the Lord can give you strength and keeps increasing your strength until you win.

Who or what is the strength of your Life?
Is the Lord your light and your salvation?

Bible  Reading:

Psalms 27:1-11.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I declare that you are my strength and my very present help in trouble in Jesus name. (Amen)

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...

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...
