STRENGTH FROM GOD



TEXT: ISAIAH 40:29, PSALM 89:21

Foreword

Satan is a trader: he doesn’t give anything for free, he only exchanges things for things Job 2:4 says and Satan answered the Lord and said skin for skin yea all that a man hath will he give for his life. He persuaded Adam and eve and exchanged the presence and the life of God for a fruit Gen 3:5, He offered the glory of the world (the original owner of the heavens and earth Psalm 24:1) in exchange of worship Matt 4:9, he offers sin to all of us today in exchange for heaven Matt 25:54 please beware he has no strength to offer.

Meaning of strength
The English advanced dictionary defines strength as what makes someone able to do something or the quality of being strong.
For this purpose strength can be defined as divine: capacity, enablement, finger and backing. Like what Elijah had in a divine meal that he went with it for forty days 1 kings 19:8 which says And he arose and did eat and drink and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. What a meal?
Why do we need God’s strength?

Our strength is limited will often fail us: we will often see or come in contact with what is beyond our human strength. David had been a warrior he had killed very dangerous animals and kept safe the sheep of his father in the wild and crude jungle of the then world for a while but most times especially when in deep distress he prayed to God: when confronted with Goliath 1 Sam 17:45, when running away from his own son 2 Sam 15:31, when plundered by the enemies 1 Sam 30:8.

To do God’s work/will: to do God’s word/work we need His strength, Act 1:1-4 Jesus specifically told His disciples not to depart Jerusalem until they are endued from above. The flesh is borne of sin but when His spirit and strength comes we become reengineered and reconfigured by and for Him.  

His strength is ever present (doesn’t fail): most human fail especially when there’s need from them but our God is reliable psalm 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble. Have you been disappointed in the past try God. Dan 3:16-17 says if it be so our God whom we serve is ABLE to DELIVER us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver us out of thine hand o king.

God does not share His glory: God will only do great things through you so he can take all the glory, He doesn’t share his glory, and he will not take glory for what you did. Isaiah 42:8 says I am the Lord that is my name and my glory will I not give to another neither my praise to graven images.
How to access God’s strength

Be a child of God: Matt 15:26 says but he answered and said ,it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to dogs. You have to be sincerely born again to get what’s God’s.

Ask for it: Matt 7:7 says ask and it shall be given you seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. God is willing and waiting to release unto us whatever we request in line with His word, purpose and time the onus is on us to ask. 


SHALOM.
