Be Strong in the Lord

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Divine strength is the power we need for living. It is the desire of God to strengthen us - Psalm 29:11 – “The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace”, but the plan of the devil is to weaken the children of God.

When you are weak and weary because of the challenges of life, you need to call on God for divine strength. When God has blessed you so much that you can’t even cope with the workload required of you, you need divine strength as well. When troubles and trials seem to overwhelm you, you need the help of the Most High to strengthen you so that you can carry on.

Ephesians 6:10 says “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” The reason we need to "be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" is that satan wants to get us away from that. It is our power base. He wants to separate us from God, because the moment he gets us away from Him, we become an easy prey.

Thus, the devil wants to put a wedge between God and us.  The only power that can defeat satan is the power of Jesus Christ. Be strong in the Lord. Stay close to Him. Never let anything come between you and the Lord.  You will have good success this 2016.

Remain blessed.

Shalom
