MEMORISE: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Psalm 91:7
READ: Psalms 91
- He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
- I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
- Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
- He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
- Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
- Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
- A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
- Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
- Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
- There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
- For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
- They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
- Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
- 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.
- He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
- With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
MESSAGE:
Long ago, God decided to give me a glimpse of the battles He fights for me that I am not aware of. I was a lecturer at the University of Ilorin at the time, and one afternoon, I went home as usual, finished my lunch, and laid on the couch to rest. I did not intend to sleep, but I closed my eyes because I didn’t want to be disturbed as I was already a pastor, and my sitting room was always busy. Suddenly, I felt someone looming over me. The person held my hands and legs and drew me closer as if to kiss me. At first, I thought it was my wife, but then it occurred to me that whoever could hold my hands and legs at the same time had to be really tall and strong. I immediately opened my eyes and the person disappeared. After this incident, I felt a cold sensation, but I forgot about it and went for my afternoon lectures.

Afterwards, I started vomiting and stooling. I drove back home and practically had to crawl out of my car to get into the house. I was in the toilet when I cried, “Daddy, what is this? I am your son; how can this be happening to me?” God replied, “Son, I just wanted you to have a little taste of the unseen battles I constantly fight for you.” Immediately after that, the stooling and vomiting stopped.
My dear child, there are a lot of battles God fights for you that you know nothing about. Many such battles take place when you are sleeping, studying, travelling, or even relaxing. Thus, you are in error if you think that you are alive by your own power. Therefore, thank God every day for all He does for you.
KEY POINT:
God is always fighting your battles.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Daniel 8:1-27, 1 John 2:1-17
HYMN 50: Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
1 Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We,
Thro’ The Precious Blood Of Christ We’ve Victory
If The Lord Be For Us, We Can Never Fail,
Nothing ‘Gainst His Mighty Pow’r Can E’er Prevail.
Refrain:
Conquerors Are We, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
God Will Give Us Victory, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
Thro’ The Lamb For Sinners Slain,
Yet Who Lives And Reigns Again,
More Than Conquerors Are We,
More Than Conquerors Are We.
2 In The Name Of Israel’s God We’ll Onward Press,
Overcoming Sin And All Unrighteousness;
Not To Us, But Unto Him The Praise Shall Be,
For Salvation And For Blood Bought Victory.
3 Unto Him That Overcometh Shall Be Given,
Here To Eat Of Hidden Manna Sent From Heav’n,
Over Yonder He The Victors Palm Shall Bear,
And A Robe Of White, And Golden Crown Shall Wear.
