TOPIC: Jehovah Nissi (Open Heaven for Teens 4 August 2024)
MEMORISE: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1
READ: Psalms 91:1-10
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.
MESSAGE:
Jehovah Nissi means ‘God our Banner’. Moses was the first person in the Bible to refer to God as Jehovah Nissi (Exodus 17:15). If you read through the story of the Israelites when they were wandering in the wilderness, trying to find their way to the Promised Land, you will understand this name more. God indeed protected them from evil. There was a time He went with them in a pillar of fire at night and a cloud of smoke by day. Also, with strategies from God, the Israelites, who left Egypt as peasants and farmers, fought and won some battles like soldiers. That God is still the same today.
Some time ago, one of my sons testified that he and his team went on a ‘Let’s Go-A-Fishing’ outreach during Christmas to win souls and fellowship with new converts. On their way, their vehicle was halted by armed bandits. When they saw that their lives were in danger, they started praying in tongues, and one after the other, the bandits danced to the vehicle behind them, leaving theirs alone. I believe that my Daddy started beating a drum in heaven and made the men dance to the beat so that He could shield my sons from untimely death. Glory be to God!
You are God’s representative on earth, and He will do everything possible to keep you safe as long as you remain on His side.
KEY POINT
In times of trouble, God will hide you under the shadow of His wings
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 35:1-36:23, 1 Corinthians 1:1-17
HYMN 40, CHRIST IS OUR CORNER-STONE
- Christ Is Our Corner-Stone;
On Him Alone We Build;
With His True Saints Alone
The Courts Of Heaven Are Filled;
On His Great Love
Our Hopes We Place
Of Present Grace,
And Joys Above. - Oh, Then, With Hymns Of Praise
These Hallow’d Courts Shall Ring:
Our Voices We Will Raise,
The Three In One To Sin;
And Thus Proclaim
In Joyful Song,
Both Loud And Long,
That Glorious Name. - Here, Gracious God, Do Thou
For Evermore Draw Nigh;
Accept Each Faithful Vow,
And Mark Each Suppliant Sigh;
In Copious Shower
On All Who Pray,
Each Holy Day,
Thy Blessings Pour. - Here May We Gain From Heaven
The Grace Which We Implore,
And May That Grace, Once Given
Be With Us Evermore;
Until That Day,
When All The Blest,
To Endless Rest
Are Called Away.
