FRIDAY 1ST SEPT.,2017
TOPIC: GOD’S PROPERTY
TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:20 “for ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your Spirit, which are God’s…”
We human beings look after our property and protect it. You can be absolutely sure that God also looks after his property. We cost God too much for him to neglect and lose us. We were “bought at a price” even the precious blood of Jesus. When Jesus takes over, he saves and keeps us. As long as we follow him, he will not allow repossession of his property by unclean spirits: Ps. 91:1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Rev.12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”. This is the glorious and perfect protection which the Lord gives his children, free of charge. Isa.54:17 ” No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that Shall rise against thee in judgement thou shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.” No curse can be fastened on you, and no witchcraft can harm you. Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse shall not alight”
We serve a mighty God.„.not a struggling God who sometimes might lose battles. He cannot be blackmailed, nor forced to compromise with the devil. He could never go into partnership and share his right-of-possession Of you with any evil spirit. Follow Jesus and you are wholly the Lord’s. You need to live your live with this assurance – I am marked by the blood of Jesus, and nobody can pluck me from his hand. Satan cannot kidnap my soul. It is hidden with Christ in God, which is a safe a strong room, and bears the seal-mark of the blood.” What a joy to be able to shout: “I am God’s property”
