DIVINE BACKING
Memorise:
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5
Bible in one year: Hebrews 1:1-5:9, Psalms 23
MESSAGE
Divine
backing is the support you receive supernaturally from the Almighty
God. Without divine backing, hardly can any man succeed in life. This is
because demonic activities in the world are out to frustrate mankind.
The Bible says:
"Therefore
rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhibiters
of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having
great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."
Revelation 12:12
In
the memory verse for today, God encouraged Joshua to take up the
spiritual mandate of leading His people to the Promised Land. Joshua was
assured of divine backing when the Lord said:
"There
shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy
life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee.
Joshua 1:5
God
repeatedly encouraged Joshua to be courageous. No wonder he did great
exploits in the Name of the Lord. When David faced Goliath, it was
divine backing that saw him through the fight against the experienced
giant. In response to the giant's curses, David said:
"This
day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee,
and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host
of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild
beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in
Israel."
David,
prior to this time had been enjoying divine backing. It was this divine
backing that enabled him to kill a lion and a bear that wanted to steal
his father's livestock. Beloved, you too will enjoy divine backing if
you surrender your life to Jesus Christ today. Even as a believer, for
you to enjoy divine backing, particularly in the ministry, you need to
be broken and live in obedience of the Word of God. Jesus said:
"Ye
have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."
John 15:16
Jesus
chose you to win souls to His Kingdom and He promised to back you up by
providing everything you request for. May the Lord give you
supernatural support and the backing you need to succeed in Jesus' name.
