Heaven 3 November 2021 TOPIC: Victory Over Evil
MEMORISE: The Lord is my rock, and my
fortress, and my deliverer. 2 Samuel 22:2
READ: Psalm 91:1-8
(KJV)
1. He that dwelleth in the
secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2. I will say of the LORD, He is
my refuge and my fortress; my God; in him will I trust.
3. Surely he shall deliver thee
from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4. He shall cover thee with his
feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.
5. Thou shalt not be afraid for
the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6. Nor for the pestilence that
walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7. A thousand shall fall at thy
side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Open Heaven 3 November 2021 MESSAGE:
The Psalmist
says in Psalm 125:1:"They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever."
One point to be
quickly noted about this Scripture is that it is only for those who put their
trust in the Lord, not those who have alternatives to the Almighty God.
Those who put
their trust in God are immovable. This was David’s experience. In the Bible text of today, we see another dimension of divine protection over God's people.

Temptation II
This is food
for thought for those who are still in doubt of God’s ability to protect to the very end. Some people are
even afraid of prosperity because they feel they would be prone to enemy
attacks when they prosper.
They refuse to
believe David’s assurance in Psalm 23:5
which says: “Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies…my cup runneth over.”
Not only did
God prepare a sumptuous table for David, He filled his cup to the point of
overflow just to show that He had more than enough to give to His beloved. As
if that were not enough, it was done in the presence of David’s enemies and
they could do nothing against it.

The Almighty
God who prospers us is also the One who protects and He has assured us that He
will keep us at all times (Psalm 91:3,5).
David’s experiences – first with
the lion, then the bear (1 Samuel
17:34-37) and later with Goliath (1
Samuel 17:49-51) are testimonies that should make any doubter believe that
our God is Jehovah Nissi. This means He is the Banner that covers and goes
ahead of us to guarantee victory in every battle we face (Exodus 17:15).
Beloved, I am assuring you that
if you put your trust in the Lord, your protection will be guaranteed, because
our God never fails. He watches over His elect so that His name may not be
blasphemed.
The Lord fights on behalf of His
elect and always ensures they are victorious over evil. Hence, your victory
over evil is guaranteed, so long as you remain on God’s side and stay away from
sin.
Open
Heaven 3 November 2021 ACTION POINT:
Ensure
that you serve only the Almighty God – the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, so
your protection can be guaranteed in the blood of the Lamb.
