GOD OF ALL BATTLES


MAY 22.

And David said to Saul, let no man’s heart fail because of him. - 1 Sam 17:32-33; 37

There are times in our lives when we encounter some situations and our courage fails us. Some unexpected mishaps, expectations that are not met. The ability to withstand such situations stem from our knowledge of our victorious God, the God who never fails. David was a shepherd boy, a young man of great courage who had singlehandedly killed a lion and a bear while shepherding his father’s flock. He is now facing a 9 feet tall Goliath who had defied the Israelites for 40 days, he needed all the courage and audacity to face the giant. The king’s armour was too heavy for him to wear, yet he was determined because he knew who his Father was. Which giant do you have before you? They may come as health issues, family problems, business challenges, financial issues, marital troubles, in whatever form you must be courageous. Do not despair for your God is a victorious God who goes ahead of you in all situations.

David knew his God; he set out against the philistine knowing that the victorious God was on his side. He set with no armour only in The Name Of The God Of Israel, with a stone and a sling in his hands he killed Goliath, he knew that victory was his, he went in the name of the almighty God, his God who does not lose any battle as stated in Exodus 14:14. In the name of Jesus Christ every knee will bow and every Goliath will bow and victory will be ours. 

Let us pray: My Lord Jesus Christ, my hope is in you, the hope that does not disappoint. I will remain courageous in my times of weakness knowing that you will never fail me.

Bible Ref: 1 Samuel 17

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
