HIS STRENGTH


Strength is the ability to resist being moved in any circumstance.
Queen Esther sought strength from the Lord when she learnt about the Jews predicament. It was easy for her to fold her hands and not do anything but when she realized that her help would only come from God, she went to him in prayer and fasting. And surely God gave her and to the Jews victory.

During the imprisonment of Paul and Silas, the church couldn't afford to sit back and watch them die. No,  they had to embark on prayers for the saints. They relied on God to strengthen this saints and to free them. Which he did.

The commission before us is not for the faint hearted. We need to totally depend on God.
We cannot rely on our own strength, surely it will fail us. For the weakness of God is stronger than human strength!

Jesus  asked His disciples to pray for strength against temptation. As the body of Christ we need to ask for strength so that we don't fail the tests.
The word says, the evil one is roaming around seeking whom to devour. Our hearts are strengthened by grace through God's word. He strengthens his ministers and protects them from evil It is He that gives you strength for his service

We need strength to endure and persevere hardships. Like Paul when he was taken to the Roman  Emperor Nero,the  Lord delivered him.
One of the greatest commandments is love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. This is means acknowledging God as your source of strength and involving him in all your decisions.
