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 Davids experience.In the Bible text of today we see another dimension of divine protection over Gods people.

This is food for thought for those who are still in doubt of Gods 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 Davids assurance in Psalms 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 Davids 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 (Psalms 91:3,5).

Davids 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 Gods side and stay away from sin.

OPEN HEAVEN 3 NOVEMBER 2021 KEY 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.
