“THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS YOU TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THINGS VICTORIOUSLY!”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“Then he answered me, ‘This is the word of Adonai to Z’rubavel: “Not by force, and not by power, but by my Spirit,”‘ says Adonai-Tzva’ot.” (Zechariah 4:6)

The word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit of Whom the oil is a symbol, says the Lord of hosts.

Many people believe that to survive in this world, a person must be tough, strong, unbending, and harsh.
But when it comes to spiritual warfare, we need to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. God says, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.”

It is only through God’s Spirit that anything of lasting value is accomplished.
We may be fearful of the situation around us, the situation of economic slowdown, unemployment condition that prevails and more so the deadly virus of discouragement may persist, tiredness and poverty but the Almighty is on our side.

As we live for God, let us determine not to trust in our own strengths or abilities. We must depend on God and work in the power of His Spirit.

God expects us to do our part, but we must remember that He is not limited to human effort. God can accomplish all His purposes without any help from us if He so chooses.

Our God, it is You who have protected us thus far. You have redeemed us and protected this land in the past. Lord protects us yet again from this deadly prevailing virus. Remove this plague and its terror, Oh Lord, we pray.

Do not set your face against us, and let not this plague defeat us. Yes, Lord, break the power of our pride, still in your judgement, remember mercy. Brethren, how long shall we continue in sin without repentance?

This is the appropriate time to stand in the gap for our beloved nation. (Ezekiel 22:30-31)
God is looking for the faithful people united in their efforts to resist evil.
God’s people have gone astray because there is no one to lead them back to God.

The worthless attempt to stand in the gap through religious rituals or messages based on the opinion of man rather than God’s will has failed. What we need today is a total spiritual reconstruction. When we preach without practising it, we are hypocrites.

When we portray the appearance of God without living by His word, we are covering up sins. Do not use religion as a whitewash, but let us repair our lives by applying the principles of God’s word.

Let us stand in the gap for our nation and make a difference for God in our land. We can pray and intercede to stop the spread of any virus in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen! Shall we continue to laze around until all the victims of this virus are dead, then we begin to pray? God forbid!

Satan has hardened the hearts of many people not to heed to the warnings. Church of God in Christ Jesus, it is time we begin to cry out to God for His mercy.

Only God can prevent this deadly virus from spreading, even as we pray in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

Everybody shout, “THANK YOU, JESUS!”

Shalom and good morning.
