HORN OF MY SALVATION

PSALMS 18:2

“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God , my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

As I was studying this scripture earlier this morning, the Holy spirit made me think on how God is the ‘horn of our salvation’.

Looking   at   the  dictionary   definition of ‘horn’.  Merriam – Webster Dictionary defines  ‘horn’ as “one of the hard pointed parts that grows on the head of some animals, usually a bony processes that arise from the head of many ungulates and that are found in some extinct mammals and reptiles as one of the permanent paired hollow sheaths of keratin usually present in both sexes of the cattle and their relative that function chiefly for defence” .

Our emphasis lies on the ‘defence’. If the horns in animals is used for defence, therefore God is telling us that He is the defence of our salvation against the wiles and fiery darts of the enemy. We have been salvaged from the enemy and God is telling us that He is our defence for any major or minor comeback of the enemy. As far as God is our defence, affliction shall not arise a second time. What a God we have!

The Free Bible Dictionary tells us that “ ‘Horns’ are emblems of power, dominion, glory, and fierceness, as they are the chief means of attack and defence with the animals endowed with them.” 
Note: ‘Attack and Defence’. So, God who is the ‘horn of our salvation’ can also attack anything and anyone that tampers with our salvation.

It goes further to tell us that the expression ‘horn of salvation’ , applied to Christ, means “a salvation of strength, or a strong saviour”(Luke 1:69). Christ came to salvage us from the devil. He is that strength of our salvation ; a strong saviour. Hallelujah!

In essence, let us as Born-Again Children of God pray everyday for God  to make our salvation be strong; full of counter - attack and defence to escape all satanic traps and pitfall. For the devil is not happy that you have been salvaged from him (Jude 1:3).

May GOD give us the strength to work out our salvation with strength and with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

Therefore, one QUESTION I will like to ask you is, ARE YOU SAVED? (Romans 3:23, 6:23, 10:9; Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9; Isaiah 55:7; John 3:16.)  If not pray this prayer with me:
MY FATHER, I COME TO YOU TODAY. I AM SORRY FOR ALL MY WRONG DOINGS. I BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. I BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT HE DIED FOR MY SINS, I BELIEVE THAT YOU RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD FOR MY JUSTIFICATION AND GLORIFICATION. LORD JESUS, COME INTO MY HEART RIGHT NOW. I RECEIVE YOU TODAY AS MY PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR. THANK YOU LORD. AMEN!

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, then you are now Born-Again. Congratulations!(Please look for any Bible-Believing church where God's word is being preached or Email: decrystalife@gmail.com).  


Be Blessed!

WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration. Nobody was born a type of person.  School, parents, environment, experiences, church, etc ; shaped us into being some type of person. But, self centeredness and selfishness hinders us from making sacrifices. Even our Lord Jesus that died and resurrected was not the "dying type of person" to die for us, but He made that sacr...

THE YEAR HAS BEGAN.

The year 2018 was a blessed year for me. The year a significant change took place in my life;  I became a mother to a glorious baby. This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." . Well, here we are in a new year; 2019. Maybe you where told by the doctor you wouldn't make it to this year, but here you are. Circumstances challenged you to give up, but here you are. After experiencing 10 hours plus of labour, it didn't seem like my baby and I would make it but God made a way and we had victory. (story for another day) Our God is faithful! Encourage yourself in the Lord this year. Committ all you instead doing to Him. Have hope but work towards achieving your hope. Develop that idea you have. Improve yourself. Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...

WHAT SECRET SIN ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH

' Secret sin', a dilemma of many born-again Christians. It is secret in the eyes of men but God sees it all. One minute you are on fire for God and before you know it, you are back to ground zero. Just like 'a dog going back to its vomit' (read my post on this). Am talking  about the secret sin that you are secretly enjoying, the one that prinks you, fills you with so much guilt and your conscience won't let you rest. The one that makes us ask ourselves "how will I start praying to my God now that have done this ". Well,  He said we should come come boldly to the throne of grace asking for mercy. Many of us are struggling with one secret sin or more. We have tried to quit on our own. Maybe it's draining our health, stealing your Joy and relationship with God, causing issues in your home, workplace, marriage or financially. The solutions to these 'secret sin' from a personal view are: - Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. - F...
