DIVINE BACKING
Open Heavens 31 July 2016:
Saturday daily devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – divine backing
Memorise: There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all
the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not
fail thee, nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it
came to pass, that the Lord spake
unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over
this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them,
even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon,
that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great
river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great
sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all
the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not
fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people
shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers
to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee:
turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper
withersoever thou goest.
Bible in one year: Hebrews 1:1-5:9, Psalms 23
MESSAGE
Divine backing is the support you
receive supernaturally from the Almighty God. Without divine backing, hardly
can any man succeed in life. This is because demonic activities in the world
are out to frustrate mankind. The Bible says:
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in
them. Woe to the inhibiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come
down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short
time.”
Revelation 12:12
In the memory verse for today,
God encouraged Joshua to take up the spiritual mandate of leading His people to
the Promised Land. Joshua was assured of divine backing when the Lord said:
“There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all
the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not
fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Joshua 1:5
“This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and
I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases
of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the
wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in
Israel.”
1st Samuel 17:46
David, prior to this time had
been enjoying divine backing. It was this divine backing that enabled him to
kill a lion and a bear that wanted to steal his father’s livestock. Beloved,
you too will enjoy divine backing if you surrender your life to Jesus Christ
today. Even as a believer, for you to enjoy divine backing, particularly in the
ministry, you need to be broken and live in obedience of the Word of God. Jesus
said:
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit
should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may
give it you.”
John 15:16
Jesus chose you to win souls to
His Kingdom and He promised to back you up by providing everything you request
for. May the Lord give you supernatural support and the backing you need to
succeed in Jesus’ name. (31 July 2016 open heavens)
Prayer Point
Father, please support me in all I do in Jesus’ name.
