UNDER HIS COVER

Psalms 91:5-10

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.


This Psalm 91 have been attributed to Moses and compiled by David into his book of Psalms. It is said that it was composed by Moses the day he completed the building of the Tabernacle in the desert. The verses describe Moses' own experience entering the Tabernacle and being enveloped by the Divine cloud.


Understanding of scriptures as we must have known by now, is in understanding the Word Himself, Christ Jesus. He is the fulfilment of every promise we see in scriptures.


Listen, the Jews stood as an example when these events were recorded, the referenced God interaction with His children. So every promise of God at that time when seen through Christ (the Living Word), is fulfilled in the life of the believer.


2 Corinthians 1:20

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.


Listen again: if You do not know the Word - Christ Jesus, your study of scriptures could err, recall that the enemy quoted from this chapter when tempting the Messiah!


Matthew 4:5-7

Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, 

‘He will order his angels to protect you. 

And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”

Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the lord your God.’”


No wonder Paul instructed by the Spirit:


2 Timothy 2:15

Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.


Yes the promises of God recorded in the old testament are fulfilled in us through Christ Jesus.


Feel free to reference them and stand in authority in them. 


The enemy and ignorant people should not bully you, let them taunt, tempt or mock you, it is a waste of time, You know WHO you are, WHOSE you and WHERE you dwell. Listen:


Psalms 91:1-3

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.


Recite these three verses again and again, then meditate on it, then recite it again, absorb it's power let it fill You in the inside, then read the entire chapter again and again.


I remember that my mother quotes the whole of the chapter again and again. It sank into me. No wonder my family is a bundle of testimony and a wonder to many.


Listen, if You are saved God has you covered, and as we learnt yesterday. It is a win-win situation.


Common now, worship the Lord, yes worship Him in the beauty of His holiness.


We are of a great family, the greatest in all of existence. We have the bragging right, we are more than conquerors.


Psalms 91:1-3

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty

This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust him

For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.


Glory to God.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
