TEXT : π₯βπ Acts 23:12-22π₯
TEXT FOCUS : π₯π‘π "But do not yield to them, for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, men who have bound themselves by an oath that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him; and now they are ready; waiting for the promise from you. "(Verse 21)π₯π‘
π₯βπ Life is full of challenges and battles. In fact, permit me to say that life is war. That you are not aware that an enemy is set against you and that a battle is going on does not remove this fact of life. Apostle Paul from our passage of today would never have known that a serious war against his life and existence has broken out if not for the grace of God that positions the young man (Paul's sister's son) to hear the discussion of the Jews on oath to kill him. π‘π₯
π₯βπ Divine protection from all forms of evil and wickedness is the promise of God for His children. If you are a true child of God, you have no need to entertain fear or doubt on the ability of God to divinely protect you and your household (Psalm 91:1-end ). In verse three of the psalm ninety one, it says, surely he shall deliver thee ....... "Another word for surely is certainly. Hence, as children of God, we have assurance of our lives security by His word. π₯π‘πβ
π₯βπ Do you believe that God is enough to secure you and your household from satanic attack and assault? Or do you engage some other powers for protection? Kindly remember that any power you seek for protection order than the power of God is from the devil. And arch --- enemy of your life that desire your destruction is still the same devil (John 10:10a). How do you hope to escape from the devil when you still run after the same devil for safety. The only person with whom your salvation is certain is Christ JESUS. You need to accept Him. π₯π‘β
