« “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty »
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
Many Christians are fearful in the face of attacks from the kingdom of darkness.
This attitude is unlike that of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Babylon.
These young Hebrew men knew their God to be strong and mighty and they made bold to declare this to King Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 3:16-18).
Our God is strong and mighty in battle.
He has never lost and can never lose any war.
As I have preached on many occasions, our God is a war-Lord on land, according to 2 Chronicles 20:22-23.
Also, He is more effective than any Chief of Naval Staff when it comes to sea battles, according to Exodus 14:23-31.
The Lord Strong and Mighty is more effective than any Chief of Air Staff when it comes to offensive air battles, according to Isaiah 30:30.
This was proven in the battle He fought on behalf of the children of Israel under the leadership of Joshua in Joshua 10:11 NLT
« As the Amorites retreated down the road from Beth-horon, the LORD destroyed them with a terrible hailstorm from heaven that continued until they reached Azekah. The hail killed more of the enemy than the Israelites killed with the sword »
You have no reason to fear any attack of the enemies.
The Psalmist says in Psalms 27:1NKJV
« The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? »
Isaiah 59:20 gives the condition that guarantees divine defense for the children of God:
«……all who turn away from their sins… »
The Lord can only fight on behalf of those who have reconciled with Him through genuine repentance.
Sin exposes an individual to enemy attacks without any spiritual defense, according to Isaiah 59:1-2.
Therefore, ensure that your life is void of any iniquity that could make you vulnerable to the attack of the enemy.
Our God is The Lord Strong and Mighty, The Lord Mighty in Battle, according to Psalm 24:8.
This is the testimony of every true child of God.
The Lord will prove Himself strong and mighty on your behalf now and always, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Father, please prove Yourself strong and mighty in my life, that my enemies may fear, repent and surrender to Your authority, in the mighty name of Jesus.
