READ: 2 Kings 6:24-30

  1. And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
  2. And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
  3. And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
  4. And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
  5. And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
  6. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
  7. And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 10:25-42, Judges 18-19

MESSAGE:

Once a baby is born into the world, he/she is automatically surrounded by many forces. However, the position of the parents in the spiritual realm will determine the type of forces surrounding the child. For example, a family sold out to idolatry has automatically invited idols and evil forces to lord over their child while a solid Christian family will have the presence of the Holy Spirit surrounding their child.

Thus, if you are from an ungodly family, you already know the kind of forces surrounding you. However, if you have given your life to Jesus Christ, your ownership has been changed to the Kingdom of God. You can invite God to fight your battles for you from now and claim your victory through the blood of Jesus. God wants you to become His battle axe and a terror to the kingdom of darkness, not the other way round. I pray for you today that, just like Elijah could not be arrested by the King of Syria because he was surrounded by the host of Heaven, no force of darkness will be able to arrest you; day and night, the host of Heaven will surround you with fire and you will become untouchable by the enemy.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please give me victory over all lifes battles, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN: Pass Me Not A Gentle Saviour

  1. Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
    Hear my humble cry,
    While on others Thou art calling,
    Do not pass me by.

CHORUS
Saviour, Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

  1. Let me at Thy throne of mercy
    Find a sweet relief;
    Kneeling there in deep contrition,
    Help my unbelief.
  2. Trusting only in Thy merit,
    Would I seek Thy face;
    Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
    Save me by Thy grace.
  3. Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
    More than life to me,
    Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
    Whom in heaven but Thee?
