PSALM 91:1-2.1. Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.2. I will say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”ISAIAH 45:22Turn to me and be saved, all who live at the ends of the earth, because I am God, and there is no other.HEBREWS 13:6So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not be afraid. What can mortals do to me?”NUMBERS 23:19God is not like people. He tells no lies. He is not like humans. He doesn’t change his mind. When he says something, he does it. When he makes a promise, he keeps it. In the Holy Bible God gave His people promises that are still valid today. God will always stand by His words. Whatever God promises us, He will honour. “My word, which comes from my mouth, is like the rain and snow. It will not come back to me without results. It will accomplish whatever I want and achieve whatever I send it to do.” ( Isaiah 55:11). Jesus Christ said, “The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear.” ( Mark 13:31). God has promised to keep us safe from worldly perils. God has promised to guide and guard us through our pilgrimage on earth in order to bring us safely back to Him. God has promised to help and strengthen us as we pass through life’s travail. God has promised that He will never allow us to be tempted or tested above what we able to bear. God has promised that He will never leave nor forsake us. God has promised to carry us through, from the womb to the point of transition. It is God that carries and delivers us out of every situation we may face. We have not made it so far by our strength. God has promised that no evil shall harm us. The love of God for us opens the doors for new mercies each and every day. Jesus Christ will never allow us to walk on a road He had never walked on. Through His humanity, Jesus Christ was tempted like humans and so He understands our trials and He is able to help us in our tests and trials. The promises of God remain steadfast for people who make the Almighty God their God. To reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of mankind is to reject the supremacy of God, for all powers in heaven and on earth have been handed over to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Christ is the Sole mediator between God and man. In Jesus Christ are the promises of God fulfilled. Obedience is the key to receiving God’s promises. There is no other way to accessing and living the full promises of God without accepting and having faith in the Lordship of Jesus Christ who paid the price for such an honour through His death on the cross at Calvary, His resurrection and ascension to be the mediator on His everlasting throne of glory. It is unfortunate that many are still in satanic darkness, ignorant of the name of Jesus Christ as the only access to God. It is the duty of the redeemed to reach out to these ones in bondage and set them free. The world is rapidly folding up. The gates of hell are opened wide to consume the unwary. The Great Commission to evangelize all nations must be pursued with vigour now. Our time is running out. God is our refuge and fortress. Fortress is a safe place where people in trouble can run for refuge. Every fortress has a strong lock and only the possessor of the key can enter therein. If we choose God, He will be our fortress, our strong tower and harm will not come to us. But, we can not be with God, our fortress without the Key. The Key to safety in God is Jesus Christ. Shalom.
