| Pastor Tim Lee: A Strong Tower |

18:10The name of the LORD [is] a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. What a great discovery as a Christian to know who your God is? David learnt at a young age who this strong tower was. Keeping sheep as a lad, David had a few interesting encounters, with a lion and with a bear. David took it personally that a lion or a bear would eat his father's sheep. David took it personally when the greatest warrior of his time, mocked the armies of the living God. David knew that the name of the Lord was to him a strong tower. David was known as a man after God's own heart, David played music anointed with the Holy Spirit and devil had to stop troubling King Saul. David became the captain of Saul's army and the women sang songs of David's victories. ( Saul has killed his thousands and David has killed ten thousands.) This is not limited to David's time, for the scriptures teach the righteous run into this strong tower and they are safe in God. There's many names of God mentioned in the Old Testament, where Jehovah God was known as provider, as banner, as God of peace. God was known as El Shaddi the all powerful God. The children of Israel were a blessed people when they ran into this strong tower. The children of Israel was a cursed people when they kept not the commandment of this strong tower. We that are under the grace of God know this strong tower by the of Jesus.
2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Let's examine Jesus as our strong tower. For at the name of Jesus, demons were and are defeated. At the name of Jesus sin was forgiven to as many as would receive him and call upon his lovely name. Acts 4:12 states that there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. ( Jesus ) At the name of Jesus uncurable diseases were heal totally and completely. At the name of Jesus blinded eyes received sight from complete darkness. At the name of Jesus dead bodies were raised from the dead, even some that had been dead for some period of time. ( Lazarus 4 Days ) Please note that God the Father has given Jesus a name that is highly exalted and above every name. God so loved the world that he sent Jesus his beloved Sonthat, whosoever would believe on Jesus should not perish. Does that not sound like a strong tower to you? Are you living righteously enough to run into the protection of this strong tower? Is the devil eating your lunch on a dailey basis? Do you have the devil's feet print up and down your spine? It's time to come unto Jesus and make him your strong tower, Satan will have to flee. |
