TOPIC: The Righteous In The Strong Tower (I) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 26 August 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 13-15
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalms 91:1-16
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.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
MEMORY VERSE: “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” – Proverbs 18:10
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
No other hiding place that is as safe as the pavilion of the Almighty.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
MAY YOU NEVER DEPART FROM THE PLACE OF REFUGE AND FORTRESS OF THE ALMIGHTY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
It is amazing to know that we have a divine privilege when it comes to safety and protection as children of God. In case you don’t know or you are yet to confidently claim this divine open cheque, then you need to read your Bible again and again. You will discover the amazing promises and declaration of this from God. It runs through the entire Bible from the beginning to the end.

Have you seen a little child who is afraid or scared by a thing run to the father? This infant does it with so much confidence not just believing but wholly trusting the father. How much more a child of God.
God expects the same from us. That’s why He wants us to come to Him with the child-like innocence and faith. This mustard seed of faith is able to grow into giant oaks that will move mountains. Why don’t you rest from your helter-skelter race of life, hide in Him, and take some rest. There is no place like being under His shadow and in His secret place! Enter and stay safe! God is able to defend His own to the utmost. His name is a Tower strong enough to contain as many of His children that can run to Him. But note, you must fulfil the needed requirements, which is living a holy and righteous life. This remains your admission requirement. Others are included as stated in Psalm 24:3: clean hands, pure heart, soul that is not lifted unto vanities, and a tongue that has no delight in deception. These are the qualities of those who will ascend to the Holy place, in His presence! Are you qualified?
Today’s Fire Scripture states categorically that if you dwell in the secret place of the Almighty, you will be qualified to also abide under His shadow. Let’s stop here and do a reflection! If the shadow of Peter cast upon the sick would bring forth healing, how much more the shadow of the Lord God of heaven and earth. He is too mighty to be described. The same applies to the divine covering we should enjoy as His children. He keeps His beloved in His pavilion at the time of trouble, from their strong and stubborn enemies (Psalms 27:5). Beloved, we are divinely secure when we seek His covering.
Under His covering, diseases will vanish, pandemic will lose its power, wars and threats of war will be dashed to pieces. Rages of darkness will be silenced. Storms will hear His voice and be still. The opposition will be turned back the way they came, worst still they will confront themselves and destroy themselves following the order of King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah. When you are under His refuge, you become a spectator at the mesmerising of your enemies by the power of God, to prove to them that you are His own. He has promised not to leave nor forsake His children, even you.
