OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-SUNDAY-06/03/2016-DEFENDER OF THE DEFENCELESS -BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
DEFENDER OF THE DEFENCELESS
Memorise
There shall not any man be able to
stand before thee all the days of thy
Life: as I was with Moses, So I will be with thee: I will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5
Read
Isaiah 49:24-26,
God is worthy to be praised at every moment
of our lives. He is our strength, our rock, our fortress, our shield and high
tower. Proverbs 18:10 tells us that the name of the Lord is a strong tower that
the righteous can always run to at any time and remain secure. The Almighty God
is the security upon which one should base his life. These days when there is
no nation that does not have its own share of the global security crises, it is
certain that unless the Lord watches over you, you become vulnerable to the
evil events flying around. God is the only guarantee and assurance of our
faith; hence, you can be confident that you will always be delivered even in
extreme circumstances. Sometimes, God will allow us to fall into a great
calamity before He comes visiting. He does this just to reassure you that
nothing is over until He says so. He wants us to have an evidence of His
deliverance in our lives for future purposes.
Are you in any problem? Don’t worry, as long
as you are righteous, you can be assured that help is on the way. He rules in
the affairs of men to deliver the righteous from calamity. It doesn’t matter
the magnitude of the problems confronting you, just believe that He is never
late. He will stand by you during all the attacks of the enemies. All the lies
and ganging up of the enemies against your life may be launched, but you will
come out victorious because you have made the Lord your delight.
Several
times, God will just want to stand by you in order to convince those around you
that it doesn’t matter how much the waters the enemies want to sink you in is,
His faithfulness will always draw you out. God is King
over all nations of the world. He is mightier than those who are playing god in
your life. As we saw His acts in the case of Paul and Silas when they were
chained in the prison, the Lord will deliver you from every chain that the enemies
have put around you in Jesus’ name.
Deliverance is of the Lord. It is only the Almighty
God that can deliver. There is no pastor or prophet anywhere who can deliver.
It is only the Almighty God who can deliver us. He saves not once or twice, but
all the time. He can deliver today and if the enemy tries tomorrow, He is still
on the throne. All you need to do is to hand over all your enemies to God and
begin to praise Him. At the end of the day, you will pity your enemies because
the Lord will destroy them so much that you will not see the trace that they
ever existed. You can see why it is very good for God to be your battle axe.
There is only one deliverer from the forces of darkness – the One by whose Name
every knee must bow. It does not matter how defenceless you are, the great
defender will fight all your battles in Jesus’ name.
Prayer point
Every counsel of the enemies against my life shall not stand in Jesus’
name.

John 14:15-16:33, Job 32:15-33:7
