Topic: HE CAN DEFEND THE DEFENCELESS

Memory Verse: Psalm 91:2 – I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psalm 91:2
Bible Reading: John 10:7-14

Message: It’s a very frightful thing to be defenceless in a hostile world. When a man is sick, he runs to the doctor for defence but what do you do if the doctor says, “There’s nothing more we can do for you”. If a man is in financial problems, he may run to the bank with the hope of borrowing some money to come out of the mess he is in; but what would he do if the bank says they cannot help him? It’s a terrible thing to feel forsaken by relatives and friends, but the worst kind of helplessness comes when the Pastor says, “I have prayed all the prayers I know and there’s nothing more I can do for you”. Thank God that at that moment, there is somebody who is called the ‘Defence of the defenceless’. Psalm 46:1 says:

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

No matter how big any trouble is, God is there to defend you. Once in a while, we face opponents that are too big for us to handle on our own. At such times when we feel defenceless, God is always there to defend us, so long as we belong to Him. During one of our Holy Ghost Services, God told me to tell someone in the congregation that he should not worry, he will laugh last. Apparently, there was a young man in the congregation who had just received a disengagement letter in his workplace. He came from the office straight to the programme with that letter, crying for God to help him. By Monday, all those who ganged up against him to be sacked were sacked and he was promoted.

In John 10:11 He is called the Good Shepherd. John 10:12 says:

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, Seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

The hireling referred to in the Bible reading for today is the devil. If you put yourself under his care, when the troubles of life come at you like wolves, he will leave you alone. Once you accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour, you will come under the protection of the Good Shepherd, and He will defend you whenever an enemy comes against you.

Hymn: When We Walk With The Lord
Points: Are you under the protection of Christ?
Bible in one year: Amos 5, Obadiah 1

Title: When We Walk with the Lord.
Chorus: Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey..

  1. When we walk with the Lord,

In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all
who will trust and obey.

  2. Not a shadow can rise,

Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while
we trust and obey.

  3. Not a burden we bear,

Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest
if we trust and obey

  4. But we never can prove

The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them
who will trust and obey.

  5. Then in fellowship sweet

We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk
by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.
