Let the Living water flows over my soul…let the Holy Spirit come and take control… of every situation that troubles my mind… all my cares and burden unto Thee I come// Who is like unto Thee O! God… Who is like unto Thee… O God! Among the gods… who is like Thee… You are glorious in holiness fearful in Praising always doing wonders alleluia!
Our Father we Thank You, we bless You Holy Name.. we adore Your Holy Name… Faithful God O Faithful God… only You deserve the glory in our lives… only You deserve the glory O Faithful God…. Blessed Redeemer we worship You… Everlasting is Your Name… receive all the glory… receive all the honour… be Thou exalted O! God forever and ever in Jesus Name…
Beloveth… Is the Lord Your stronghold? Do you know that stronghold can be negative … it can also be positive… when the claws of satan hinders a man from becoming what God has destined him to be… that is negative stronghold… when you run from danger into the refuge/safety of the Most High God and you are safe and secure it becomes… a positive stronghold… because you are under the shadow of the Almighty… beloveth… and the Lord promise us safety and security to all those who ran into His shadow and are secure… Praise the Name of the Lord………..
The psalmist said that it is better to put your trust in God than in man… somebody shout Alleluia!!!!!!!!!!
The Lord promised us safety in midst of evil, death, dangers, challenges, failures, sickness… because He is more than Able to deliver us from them all… only on one condition… you made Him your stronghold…
Ps.27…is one of my favourite psalm because it is reassuring and soul lifting… in verse from 1-4… who is it that will stand before you when God is your stronghold … in verse 10 it says “Even if my father and mother forsake me… it says “The Lord will take me up” (KJV) while NLT2 version says … “The Lord will hold me close.” Verse 11-13… was asking God to teach me how to live… do not allow me to fall into the hands of my enemies… and finally it say… very strong assurance that I will see the Lord’s Goodness in the land of the living…
Beloveth is not when you are dead and forgotten… no sir… no ma… The Lord says “You will see the Lord’s Goodness in the land of the living…. Wait patiently… be brave and courageous….wait patiently for the Lord….verse 14…. Praise the Name of the Lord….
Beloveth… there are many verses in the Bible telling us about God’s Goodness and Blessings… we must key into it… never letting satan and His cohorts to crowd us with fear… I read this somewhere and beloveth I have been very mindful of it and it read… “Don’t let fear take way your destiny.”
It means that you will not fulfill destiny if you don’t face life with boldness… but with God as your stronghold beloveth…. whom shall you be afraid of…..

The Lord Is The Stronghold Of My Life
“The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1b)
Look around you at the people, circumstances and institutions in which you tend to put your trust. With the slightest shift of the wind they could come crumbling down around you:
People are fickle.
Circumstances change.
Institutions rise and fall.
King David cautioned such:
“Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save… Though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.” (Psalm 146:3; 62:10b)
One sneeze in London, Wall Street or OPEC and we all get colds. One unforeseen change in governmental policy and whole industries are deeply affected.
Most of the kings and king-makers of the last decade are but a faded memory in today’s centers of power and commerce.
So… what exactly is the stronghold of your life? If it happens to be people, circumstances, or institutions you have just cause to be afraid.
King David grasped the vulnerability of our man-made towers of Babel, in crying out to God,
“Whom have I in heaven but you, and earth has nothing I desire but you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalm 73:25, 26)
Therefore today, as you embark upon the challenges confronting you, keep in mind the Scripture’s formula for experiencing God as your stronghold:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ‘s power may rest on me… For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9, 10)
The only barrier to you experiencing God as your stronghold would be your foolish trust in man, or in your lofty assumption that you can pull it off without Him at the center of your efforts.
Beloveth… you secure your stronghold in God through prayer… yes… prayer hands over to you everything you will ever need in life and destiny… and listen to this beloveth… “If you don’t feel like praying, force it because something is also forcing you not to pray!”
Did you read it… so ask the Holy Spirit to help your infirmities… Yes help you in the place of prayer…
O Lord help us where we are fainting… encourage us when we are weak… uphold us when all is gone… for You alone is Worthy of our praises….

Beloveth let us pray….
Remain blessed in the Lord.
