Topic: VICTORY OVER EVIL

Memory Verse: 2 Samuel 22:2 – The Lord Is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.
Bible Reading: Psalm 91:1-8

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 for ever.

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. 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 name may not be blasphemed. The Lord fights on behalf of His elect and always ensures they victorious over evil. Hence, your victory over evil is guaranteed, so long as you remain on God’s side and stay away from sin.

Hymn: All hail The Pow’r Of Jesus Name
Points: 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.

Bible in one year: Song of Solomon 5, Song of Solomon 6, Song of Solomon 7, Song of Solomon 8

  1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name! 

Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.

  2. Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God,

Who from His altar call;
Extol the stem of Jesse’s rod.
And crown Him Lord of all.

  3. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race.

A remnant weak and small,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.

  4. Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget

The wormwood and the gall;
Go, spread your trophies at His feet,
And crown Him Lord of all.

  5. Let every kindred, every tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.

  6. O that with yonder sacred throng

We at His feet may fall.
Join in the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all.
