“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them” (Deuteronomy 33:27).
TEXT — Deuteronomy 33:25-29
Message
The MIM Patriot system is a surface-to-air missile (SAM) system used by the US Army and several other allied states. Patriot system has four primary operations: communications, command and control, radar surveillance and missile guidance. The four functions combine to provide a coordinated, secure and integrated system. Patriot interceptors are estimated to cost about $4m per missile.
Compared with God’s impenetrable, invincible and invisible defence system over His people, the human defence system is costly and imperfect. Moses prayed for the tribes of Israel before he died. In blessing Israel, he said the eternal God is their Refuge and underneath them are the everlasting arms. In these parting blessings, he assured Israel of God’s protection over them if they keep to His commandments and do them.
The Church today is the Israel of God and can enjoy safety in this world of evil and wickedness. God’s power to protect His own is unlimited. He promises us strength all the days of our lives and gives power to the faint. His Angels have the charge over us to keep us in all our ways. We do not need carnal weapons like talismans, occult devices and charms for personal or family defence or deliverance. In a similar vein, as believers, we do not need to curse our perceived enemies or ask God to destroy them. Our God will always fight our battles for us.
Remember also that our Lord Jesus has spoiled principalities and powers on the cross and He has handed to us the power to conquer all adversaries through His name. Our defence is sure! Our victory is confirmed! Our dominion is guaranteed! Step out today with this firm assurance and confidence.
Thought for the day
Rejoice because our defence in God is unassailable.
Listed among “500 most powerful people on the planet” by the Foreign Policy magazine in 2013, Pastor (Dr.) William F. Kumuyi is the founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria. DCLM started in 1973 as a 15-member Bible study group right in Kumuyi’s apartment at University of Lagos where he was a lecturer. His revolutionary Bible teaching on personal holiness and commitment to evangelism soon gained so much traction and resulted in a widespread revival.
