Kept by the power of God [January 8,2023 ]
Kept by the power of God
Numbers 6:23-26
The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord cause His face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto you…..
When you say “kept by the power of God” you mean, the Lord protects you, provides for you and sustains you.
The passage above is the blessing most ministers of God pronounce over their congregation after Sunday service.
It is done with the aim of asking God to take care of church members and preserve them till they meet again the following Sunday.
Another appropriate blessing to pronounce over a congregation is
Psalm 23:6
Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me (you) all the days of my ( your) and I (you) will dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my ( your) life.
Matthew 6: 11-13
…..Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil..
This passage from the new testament is an excerpt from the Lord’s prayer.
It is asking for God to provide our needs, forgive our sins and deliver us from evil. In short, it is asking for God to preserve and sustain us
As you spend time in the Lord’s presence each day, it would be appropriate to pray the Lord’s prayer first, then you can add your own prayer
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Look up to God always for preservation of your life.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song
Kept by the power of God
I’m kept by the power of God
Day by day, come what may
I am kept by the power of God
Day by day, come what may
I am kept by the power of God.
Amen
