COMMANDING DIVINE STRENGTH UPON YOUR LIFE

Read Romans 7:13-25

MEMORISE: In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them (Zechariah 12:8)

EXPOSITION

We all need divine strength in every aspect of our lives. Success is automatic when one obtains divine strength. To gain this strength, you need to critically look at different areas of your life where you experience weakness. We are to reject weakness of any kind in our lives, as partakers of the divine strength. When your weaknesses are discovered, apply our memory Scripture today.

If you have physical weaknesses (sicknesses, infirmities or diseases in your body), shout in faith, "I am strong", and see God working things out concerning your health situation. You will surely regain your physical strength. Is yours spiritual weaknesses (e.g. inability to pray well, tiredness to meditate on God's Word, and failure to be regular in God's presence)? Draw upon God's provisions and see your spiritual life bouncing back (Heb. 4:16).

There is moral weakness that causes one to quickly fall into sin (Jas. 1:12-15). One with such weakness finds it difficult to keep his/her life pure before God (Rom. 7:18-19,24). Some also have emotional weakness, and as such easily entertain fear and shock even in little challenges. They are easily provoked. They make rash decisions, and rush into conclusions.

Finally, there are also mental and financial weaknesses some people struggle with today. People with mental weakness are easily forgetful. People with financial weakness have issues making and managing money. The most important thing is that you should recognise your own weaknesses, cooperate with Christ and His Holy Spirit to work on them, and overcome them. Command divine strength upon your life, now.

PRAYER POINTS

1. I reject weakness of any kind in my life, in Jesus' name.

2. I command divine strength upon my life, marriage, business, finance, and other aspects, in Jesus' name.

3. Pray for ministers of God who are battling with moral weaknesses and are ashamed to discuss it with others; that God should help them out, for His name's sake.
