If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. -Psalm91:9(NLT)
NO EVIL WILL CONQUER GOD’S PEOPLE
A poem and essay by ILMA
If you run to the one true God, he will give you refuge
Believe in him and no one can really crush you
If you make Jesus your shelter and sanctuary
You will overcome sin and have victory.
Everything is created by God and he has power
You need not be afraid for the enemy will cower
There is no other shelter safer than the Almighty
Remember to abide in him so you will have security.
________________________________________
There is really nowhere safe in this world we live in. There is so much noise, disorder and
greed surrounding us. The bible says that as long as we are living in this place, we will have trouble. We, humans like to think that we are able to take care of ourselves and protect us from evil around us. The truth is, the devil is the ruler of this world (John 12:31). So as long as we are alive, we will have struggles being good because the world’s standard is all about selfishness, greed and control.
The bible gives us another alternative to thrive in this world. Run to the one true God for shelter because he will ensure you protection.
PRAYER
Thank you for protecting those who seek you Lord.
REFLECTION
Why do you think that people don’t run to God even though we know he can protect us?

Jesus gave his life for our sins just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. –Galatians 1:4 (NLT)
RESCUED FROM EVIL
A poem and essay by ILMA
We live in a world full of evil
Where pain and suffering is real
Many of us are bonded to sin
But Christ has no sin in him.
Jesus gave his life to recue us
He freed us from bondage and lust
He paid a high price on the cross
Are you accepting him or staying lost?
________________________________________
Rescue is defined as saving someone from a distressing situation. I lived in the Philippines for 43 years and had witnessed a lot of calamities such as earthquakes, typhoons, fires, and illnesses and accidents. After being exposed to such disasters, one becomes immune to the effects of helplessness and trauma brought about by such experience. You learn to live on survivor mode almost always. When I came to Canada, it was a long time before I actually learned to relax and let go. What I didn’t realize was the aftermath of all those traumas on my whole being. It made me a very independent and self-sufficient person, never depending on anyone but myself. It made me distrustful and always watching my back. Jesus rescued us from this evil world when he died. He obeyed God’s plan to wipe all our sins and be born again.
PRAYER
Remind me to ask your help always, Lord.
REFLECTION
What bondages and sin have God rescued you from?

The word gave life to everything that was created and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it. – John 1:4-5 (NLT)
THE WORD GIVES LIFE & LIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
The word of God has power to transform lives
It gives life and light and allows us to thrive
If you are amidst darkness and wickedness
Seek his word and you will pass the test.
God used words to give life to everything
He wants us to use it to overcome anything
Once the light has shone on darkness and evil
All will be exposed and you’ll be free from the tactics of the devil.
It must be frightening to be in a room where you can’t see even a little glimpse of light. Anything can happen in that darkness and you never know when and what will strike you. People who live in the dark are in bondage to the prince of this world, Satan.
The bible says that God created everything by breathing his word on it. His word practically gave life to all things. His word has power and can expose all the darkness because he brings light.
When you find yourself enveloped in darkness, run to his word, confess it aloud and the light will expose all evil activities lurking in it.
PRAYER
Lord, deliver me from evil.

Aug 25                                                                    The Power of God’s Word
Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end, they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve.
– 2 Corinthians 11:14-15(NLT)
COUNTERFEIT ANGELS OF LIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Be watchful of counterfeit angels of light!
They disguise themselves to bring life
They study you carefully to infiltrate your mind
They want to generate conflicts and make you blind.
Satan camouflages as a servant of righteousness
He wants to trap people into sin and darkness
All counterfeits will be punished harshly
God’s people will be protected and gain victory.
There are many counterfeit religion and religious leaders. Some churches create and add doctrines that are not biblical. Many of these false prophets and teachers are able to penetrate into those who do not have biblical foundation. This is why it is very important for believers to study the word of God because that is the only way they will know the counterfeits. Only the truth will set people free. If you don’t know the truth, how can you be free? Satan will do everything to keep you in the dark. He disguises himself as an angel of light and all who serve him deceive many believers and unbelievers. They will severely be punished in the end.
PRAYER
Lord, protect all believers from counterfeits.
REFLECTION
How can you protect yourself from the counterfeits?

GOD SEES WHAT THE WICKED DOES Poem Devotional

April 22                                                                                    The Power of God’s Word

The Righteous One knows what is going on in the homes of the wicked; he will bring disaster on them.         –Proverbs 21:12 (NLT)     

 

A poem by ILMA

Do you often wonder why God allows evil to happen?

Why do people’s hearts continually harden?

How can we help those who are experiencing violence?

Are we bold enough to expose their insolence?

God sees the evil things the wicked does

He watches over those who obey and trusts

He may allow wickedness to take place

God will bring justice and that is what his word says.

Evil lurks in our society. A lot of people have lost faith in God because of the prevalence of wickedness. People question why God would allow such things to happen especially to the weak and vulnerable. I’ve had my share of blaming God for the many sufferings I’ve experienced in life until I studied his word. He revealed to me that after all the pain I went through, he was there to protect me and later on bring justice to my abusers.  He also taught me to forgive so I can be free. The bible tells us that God is a god of justice. We may not be able to comprehend why bad things happen, but God is always watching and promised to bring justice.

PRAYER

Lord, teach me how to trust you.

REFLECTION

Why is faith essential especially in times of crisis?
