Memorise: The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him: and he will
show them his covenant. Psalm 25:14
The psalmist, in our Bible reading, expresses his trust in the Lord and
in His protection. In such a time as this, when all systems are failing, this
assurance is ever dependable. It affirms that God is for us and we can always
find security in Him. It takes only the Almighty God to hide us from the enemy
and this is why I am never afraid of the activities of the enemies, as long as
I remain connected to God. It amazes me when I see what people do in the name
of protection; I just can’t help but pity them. How can you seek protection
from the devil when it is the devil that is after your life? Any other source
of protection outside God is a wasted effort.
This is why I do not understand how a true Christian lives in fear. How
can my father be the Lord of Hosts and I will live in fear. As long as you are
on the Lord’s side, you have nothing to fear or worry about. The Lord is
willing to fight all your battles if you allow Him. God is asking you to be of
good cheer and not give in to doubt or despair because He has overcome the
world and in Him you are more than a victor. When fear comes knocking on your
door, let fear know that it is a wrong door because the scripture says in Psalm
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.”
When trouble comes knocking, just call upon the Prince of Peace. Send
your problems to Jesus and victory will be yours.
You must make up your mind not to live in fear. You cannot achieve
anything tangible within the atmosphere of fear. It takes courage to take your
place in destiny. The only person you are permitted to fear is the Almighty God
and this is because He is our creator. Once we give ourselves to the Lord and
fear only Him, He will be committed to protecting us from our enemies. Let us
run away from the spirit of fear, it is capable of short-changing us. Let us
hold unto the Lord for our deliverance. Let us cry to Him in supplication for
help and He will hear us and come to our rescue.
Key Point: They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits.
Bible in one year: Joshua 16:1-19:16, Job 37:1-20
