“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation” Isaiah 12:2
A man is known by his strength. Your ability is a function of the strength you can generate. In times like this, when we all have tasks and challenges ahead of us, we need more than natural strength.
“…for by strength shall no man prevail” – 1 Samuel 2:9
The strength of God is in the divine endowment to get things done. If you want to know how strong God is, imagine the strength of a fire: think of all that fire can do. Our God is stronger than that. More still, think of the strength of a rock:
“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” – Psalm 18:2
The strength of the Almighty is likened to the strength of a rock. The ability to protect, establish, provide, and destroy are found in the rock. God’s strength cannot be compared to anything on the planet Earth; this is the reason why you need His strength.
The strength of man will fail, while God’s strength endures forever.
“Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding.” – Isaiah 40:28
This is my counsel for you: go for the strength that will never fail, and you will overcome failure.
The challenges ahead of you cannot be overcome by your own strength or any evil strength anywhere. Your bills, sickness, and demonic afflictions demand that you go for the strength of the Almighty. He is the giver of strength to those that will ask from Him.
“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” – Isaiah 40:29
Another reason why you need the strength of God is to possess the promises He has for you. Many people are frustrated in life because they want to possess God’s promises with their own strength. Your strength is too weak to take you to God’s ultimate plan for your life. Go for the strength of the Almighty; it’s available for you.
You need God’s strength to overcome sin and all those negative habits you struggle with secretly. The power of alcoholism and sexual immorality over your life can be broken by the strength of God. For how long are you going to wet your pillows in the night because of a besetting sin that has a grip over your life? Remember, His strength is like fire and like rock; it will crush the power of sin over your life if you turn to Him for strength.
Also, the primary means of overcoming fear is to be strengthened by the Lord Almighty.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” – Psalm 27:1
Boldness comes when you stir up the strength of God in your life as a believer. It is the supernatural strength that equips you for all the tasks ahead of you.
“I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13
One of the most exciting things about the strength of God is that it is revealed during our weakest seasons and upon our weaknesses. Do you have a known weak point that is obvious or bothering you? If your answer is yes, then I say congratulations because that is the area where God’s strength is best expressed.
“My strength is made perfect in (your) weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Emphasis Mine)
Are you sick in your body? The Lord will be your strength as you put your trust in Him. His strength is exchanged for your weakness. Sickness is far from a man strengthened by God:
“And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.” – Isaiah 33:24
As your sins are forgiven because of your repentance, God gives you His strength that makes sickness far from you. Christ has come to give us strength; it is time to go for His strength and do exploits for Him. The Lord is your strength.
You can receive strength by taking this confession:
LORD JESUS, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRENGTH OVER MY LIFE. TODAY I DECLARE YOUR STRENGTH OVER EVERY WEAK POINT IN MY LIFE. YOUR STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN MY WEAKNESS, THEREFORE I RECEIVE YOUR STRENGTH TODAY INTO MY BODY IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN.
