TOPIC: God is Present 3: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 43, Day 3: Tuesday, 18th October, 2022. TOPIC: God is Present 3:

1. Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

2. My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

What is the need of the strength of God while in His Refuge? When we are In God’s refuge, it’s believed that war and storms seized and we will be at peace forever, yes but not that easy. Being in the refuge of God is not a reason to be lazy and idle, it’s not a means to run from difficulties but a means of the assurance of God’s backing in the face of all challenges. Being in God’s refuge we still need His strength to handle oppositions. The strength to pray, strength to fast, strength to resist the devil, strength to walk faithfully with Him and to be obediently, strength is needed. That was why David said, 

“Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:’

You will think that God will fight the battles for us, give us victories on a plater of gold, no, it doesn’t work that way. God trains us and equip us for war even in His refuge. God doesn’t abode the cowards and lazy ones but those who will be strengthened and stand for Him. Are you that relaxed because God is your refuge? Do you run from duties because you are of God? May be you depend on your strength to take you further than where God can take you in life, you are fooling yourself. It’s time to live in the refuge of God and depend on His strenght to take you far in life. God’s strength is needed even in His Refuge.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
