GOD IS YOUR SHIELD
 
Scriptural Highlight: (Job 3:5) - "But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face."

Beloved, looking closely at our scriptural highlight for today, you can easily see the devil's wish against God's children -evil. He is always making moves to destroy us, and to destroy the testimony we have in Christ. He suggested to  God to put forth His hand to harm Job. In John 10:10 Jesus revealed to us that "the thief (devil) comes to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

But one thing we must note in this scriptural highlight is the helplessness of the devil where it concerns God's children. He has no power over us; he cannot even harm nor hinder us. The shield of God is always surrounding us. In Jesus we have life in abundance. In fact, after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, we (believers in Jesus) were made to be seated far above the enemy (Ephesians 2:6).

Beloved, it does not matter the challenges or problems the enemy has caused to come your way, hold fast your confession in Jesus and resist him; there is light at the end of the tunnel; Just keep connected to Jesus. Just like Job in the scripture, the enemy will not succeed over your head; you are another failure of the devil. Flourish!
Pray: Lord, I connect myself to you in Jesus name.

Make Alliance With Righteous Causes

Scriptural Highlight: ( 2Kings 9:17 ) - "Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came and said, 'I see a company.' And Joram said, 'Take a horseman and send to meet them and let them say, 'is it well'. So a man on horseback went to meet them and said, 'Thus says the king, 'is it peace?' And Jehu answered, 'what do you have to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me." Our scriptural highlight for today showcases a scene of battle between righteousness and evil. Joram king of Israel belonged to the family of Ahab and Jezebel, people that have troubled Israel with their sorcery, covetousness and blood spills. And a word of prophecy from Elijah had gone out against this evil house saying, "Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child...(1Kings 21:21). So, in effect, God located Jehu and anointed him to fight...

MY PAST HUNTS ME! HOW DO I DEAL WITH IT NOW THAT AM IN CHRIST?

  DRAW A LINE BETWEEN YOUR PAST AND YOUR FUTURE ! Many people come to Christ daily but battle with the memories of their past life which probably was rough, painful or traumatic. I have seen many people who struggled to live their new found faith in Christ just because a terrible past life comes hunting: I have seen some who got delivered from occult involvements, terrible abuses, sexual lifestyles and other dehumanizing struggles battling to live the Christian life because of the height of what they had been through. For some of them even when God has forgiven their sins, they find it hard to forgive themselves. So the devil takes advantage of the struggle, self condemnation or guilt to hinder their growth in the things of the spirit. But the Bible teaches that, he that is in Christ is a new creation, old things are past away and behold all things are new. No matter what a person has done, as long as the person has not grieved the Holy Spirit, he can be saved. So the...
