No Evil Will Befall You
psalm 91:7,10
The world we live in today is naturally terrifying. We hear almost daily, about disasters, wars, dangers of the nuclear weapons and chemical warfare…About oil spills, earthquakes and floods, about diseases on the rise and particularly Boko Haram terror, agitation for the Biafra State and crime in our own country.
However, in the midst of it all, God is promising to be a refuge and a fortress to those who will trust and dwell in Him. But you might say, “He made that promise thousands of years ago when things were not in as desperate shape as they are today!” Well, that may be true, but you know what? That promise is right up-to-date. It was made for our generation. Just think about it. Back when Psalm 91 was written, man had not even invented weapons that could destroy 10,000 people at once. We are the generation that just did that. So when God said, “No evil will befall you,” He was including us.
You need to catch hold of it and believe it today. God wants to be God in your life. He wants to be your protection. He wants to be your security. He can handle all the dangers that surround you. I don’t care how bad they are, He can handle them! You remember the 3 Hebrews? They were bound and thrown into a fiery furnace that was so hot that even the men who threw them in were killed by the heat. I really don’t think you can’t get in any more trouble than that. And God brought them through and when they came out, they didn’t even smell like smoke. Hallelujah!
No matter how terrifying things around you seem to get, trust God. He will never be out doing something else when you need help. He will be right there to deliver you from any problem, any catastrophe, and any kind of devastation. Let Him prove in your life what He proved in the lives of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego: No other can deliver like He can!
Prayer:
1 By the power of God, anything that the enemy has done to uproot me, be scattered in Jesus name.
2 Every Goliath or pharaoh that has asked me where is my God, die and catch fire in Jesus name.
3 Every foundational altar, power or spirit that has followed me, be destroyed in Jesus name.
Liberation thought: I am too protected to be destroyed.
