Audio Sermon

Dear Beloved,

Rejoice in the Lord. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength.  God has protected us and shielded us so far and will continue to protect us.  While we are staying shut in our homes, let us position ourselves in his presence. Lift up your voice in worship and praises. In the Book of Habakkuk, the prophet declares – ‘ Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. ‘

Remember, there is a war of pestilence outside, but we people of God are shut inside and covered in Christ. Noah was shut and  the Ark during the great flood, and we  the children of God are seated in Christ. We are safe and are IN CHRIST during this crisis. So let us position ourselves in the Lord by worshipping Him and praising Him for his protection and safety.

Do not fear at the circumstance happening outside. Our God Jesus Christ has nailed this virus on the Cross two thousand years ago. Corona virus has no hold on the believer, the Child of God, who holds onto the Word of God, trusts in God’s love and promises and rests in Him. So position yourself in God, for the battle belongs to the Lord. God’s word for you this afternoon:  2 Chronicles 20:15-17

… Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. …, [17] Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.

So thank him and praise him and he will make away of escape. Our God is in control and is exalted on the throne and things are getting better.  Do not fear , Take your position in God’s Word and stand still. Be strenghtened on the promises of God.  The Word of God says those who know their God, those who trust their God, They shall be like mount Zion. they shall not be shaken.  God is saying that as we are resting in God’s word behind shut doors, something good will come out of this.

There is power behind shut doors. God is preparing us and we will come out strong, come out fired up for God and his purpose in our lives.  You will be refreshed in God. This season, you will birth out and be fruitful. As you are shut to the World, spend time with Him. He will reveal to us great and mighty things that we donot know. Many things happen behind shut doors. The widow was able to repay her debts, by obedience behind shut doors. Barrenness is defeated behind shut doors. Promises come back to life behind shut doors.

Rest in his presence for our God is good and his mercies endureth forever. We are blessed IN CHRIST. Amen!
