From Our Pastor's Desk - August 2017 - Our Month of God's Backing

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Welcome to this Our New Month of God’s Backing, in Jesus name.

Isaiah 52:12 - “For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard”

Rereward means rear guard, which simply & literally means that God's got your back! Because man was not designed by the Creator with eyes in back of his head, God has covenanted with His people to protect and guard them from behind.

The enemy attacks front & back. We have armors, helmet, breastplate, shield & sword (Ephesians 6:10-18), designed to protect frontal attacks, but for the sneak enemy attacks that come from behind, the onslaught of back-biters, back-stabbers, traitors, slanderers etc, God promises that His presence will cover us in the front & from behind. In other words, nothing about us is left exposed for open access to the enemy.

Isaiah 58:8-”Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, & your righteousness shall go forth before you; the Glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard." This month, our God will go before us & watch us from behind where we can't see the enemy coming.

The Lord mighty in battle will have our backs, all our days, in Jesus Name.
Amen
