Theme: My Refuge and Fortress 
Text: Psalm 91:1-2

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High. Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”



There's no better place to be secured than the presence of God. No wonder the enemy requested the hedge covering of Job be lifted to prove if he really loves God (Job 1:8-9). There's an invisible hedge covering over your life as a child of God. Also, a better blood is speaking good tidings over your life than the blood of Abel. That blood is the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you trust in the Lord, He shall keep you safe at all times. The Israelites experienced His covering in Goshen during the plaques that befell Egypt. You will also experience a much better one in Christ Jesus if you make home with Him. You can confidently say, He is your refuge and fortress.

You take refuge at a place you believe you won't suffer harm. Whatever might have been pursuing you cannot break in to harm you at your place of refuge. Likewise the fortress provides security. God can single handedly provide for you and your loved ones. Just draw near to Him and you will experience His loving care.


Prayer: In You o God I take refuge. Let me not be put to shame and grant me the grace to overcome every storm of life even now and forevermore in Jesus' name. AMEN!

John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
